Anyways... Classic!!! Well, apart from "Kraftwerk 2". Amazing to think that perhaps the most influential electronic group ever, the guys who did "Computer World" and influenced Detroit techno, NY electro and so on, did some really embarrasing stuff. But a major part of the "Kraftwerk 2" LP is really pissawful. "Klingklang" and "Strom"- both relly nice tracks- and that's about it as far as the good stuff goes. "Atem" sounds like someone taking Aphex Twin's idea of lucid dreaming a bit far, and recording himself snoring. Now, while "Spule 4" appears to be an influence on PritStik's "Dum de dum We Don't the Words", and so is of course, brilliant, the following track "Wellange" sounds like Joy Division circa 1979 tuning up. For nearly ten minutes! (One could imagine some Wane Carr/Chris Moyles type playing this one for about 2 minutes, fade off saying something like "Yeah, well, we'll leave them to it for a bit", then as a running joke, keep coming back to it every so often. "Oh that reminds me, are those Kraftwerk folks still banging on back there...? [Fade on bit of track] ... Yep, thought so!") And the ending track "Harmonika" sounds like something PritStik would record if they were really boring and feeling really depressed. Strangely enough, "Kraftwerk 2" didn't sell as much as their previous album...
