    I love Kraftwerk, but contributing to anti-nuclear sentiment in Germany hasn't been a major success. If only more European countries had followed the French example and developed substantial nuclear fleets.

    If the suggested political impact of this music is to be believed, the music might be one of the biggest environmental disasters of all time.

    Germany has been pretty widely criticized for decommissioning it's nuclear power program, only to replace it with Russian oil.

        Either way, Germany has perfected the efficient foot bullet, at least.

        I could imagine Kraftwerk devising a stonkin’ “Fußkugel” track, actually ..

    Ruckzuck is way more interesting and ahead of its time (1970).

    P.S

    Also check out Ashra - Deep Distance (1976).

    Only related in awesomeness but whenever I see VLC’s icon I think of Kraftwerk.

    Kraftwerk sounds novel even today, I can’t imagine how it must have sounded 50 years ago.

    IMHO Autobahn is still their best.
