i actually think it's not a bad album at all. The first few
tracks are a bit naf, but it kicks off quite well half way
through. It might not be as great as Radioactivity or Trans
Europe Express, but it is not all that bad... certainly
better than Expo 2000

It's really grown on me...

Classic Kraftwerk really...I can see where some critics are
coming from when they say they been overtaken by newer
artists, but that point of view ignores the fact that
Kraftwerk were true pioneers...and no-one does that ironic
nostalgic-techno vibe quite like them...

it's kinda intriguing they've taken the route of going back
to TDF and continuing with that vibe...I suspect it may have
something to do with Ralfs(?) cycling accident; the album
makes more sense when looked/listened to with that in
mind....

I need to buy some Kraftwerk - it is true that Trans Europe
Express is the best?

get 'computer world' first, you wouldn't be listening to
this type of music if that never was released. All the
others are essential but if you need to start get that one.

TEE is a great intro album....my personal fave mainly due to
TEE itself...

(Can't go far wrong with Man Machine, Electric cafe etc..I'd
steer clear of earlier stuff like Radioactivity as they tend
to be a little too experimental & not quite Kraftwerk
enough, if that makes any sense..)..

i just found out karl bartos remixed "planet rock".. now
that's a bizarre twist (and cool, of course)

Radioactivity is my fave KW track, but as a whole I like Man
Machine the best. The only track I don't listen to that much
on Man Machine is 'Neon Lights'.

'Spacelab' is another fantastic track (also on Man Machine).
They just sing "Spacelaaab" thru a vocoder and go loose on
the synth pads.
