A bold new look, sound and concept for Kraftwerk. Over supple processed rhythms which predate the rise of European techno and trance, they address automation and alienation, space travel and engineering, The seductive allure of urban landscapes and the vacant glamour of celebrity. Clipped and funky, The Robots adds another dimension to Kraftwerk's ultra-dry sense of humour. Behind its intoxicating melodic pulse, The Model is a highly prophetic satire on the beauty industry, so ahead of its time that it only becomes a UK chart-topper by accident three years later. And Neon Lights is Kraftwerk's most achingly romantic song to date, a sci-fi lullaby for cities at twilight. Pure magic.

  • Great Reissue

    Superb reissue of a stunning album. Great sleeve and LP sized booklet of photographs. Now to the main event; it’s a classic LP and this reissue sounds amazing, great quality 180g vinyl. This is a candidate for a test record for HiFi equipment. A masterpiece, buy it!
