Kraftwerk (German for 'power station') were one of the pioneers of electronic music. The album uses a combination of synthesisers, drum machines and tape recorders to create a unique, if somewhat minimalist, sound. Radio-activity has 12 tracks, but is effectively one long composition interspersing more musical tracks with little more than sequences of sounds in some instances. Not one to dance to, but this is a classic for those into this kind of somewhat experimental and hypnotic music. The title track,'Radioactivity' is by far the best and catchiest song here and marked the way for other Kraftwerk classics such as 'Autobahn' and 'The Model'. Often compared to the likes of Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk have an unmistakeable sound which has helped them to retain their identity as leaders in high-tech computerised music.Read full review
originally released in 1975, remastered in 1995. Layered synths, understated sound effects, minimalist! Top quality, great addition to any Kraftwerk collection.
You either like Kraftwerk or you don't. If you do, you'll like this. If you don't, you'll hate it. If you don't know Kraftwerk this probably isn't the first of their albums that you should listen to. I would listen to The Man Machine to decide if you want to hear any more, it's a bit more accessible. Autobahn is one of the best albums for driving to, but it does have a hypnotic effect that could see you exceeding the speed limit if you're not careful. Be warned.
