Notes

This UK front cover design differs from the German issue and is thought to have been designed by Barney Bubbles (aka Colin Fulcher) who subsequently designed covers for Stiff Records. It uses additional fluorescent and metallic inks, plus regular colours for the back cover photo, as well as blind embossing on the title lettering and circuit board pattern.

This is very different than their later work but still pretty interesting. Its also very different than even Autobahn which would be released a year later. Kristallo seems like the track that sounds the most like later Kraftwerk.

If you were familiar with Kraftwerk prior to their universal "props" during the techno age, you may be aware that most press coverage states that the only good Kraftwerk album was "Autobahn". I had read that for most of my life and twenty five years of press stated that. But I assure you, corporate-controlled media never knows what its talking about and it will say what it wants to to further their agenda no matter how diabolical or misdirected. What their agenda is exactly was always just beyond me! I have three Kraftwerk albums, have heard several others and do know this - the media is wrong! This album is actually better than Autobahn by a few degrees. That's entirely subjective but I feel this one has the overall advantage of more flavor. I love the writing on this album. Now don't get me wrong, I first heard Autobahn in 1975 when I was three years old, it will always hold a place in my heart, but this album is a class act. Do give it a listen. It is excellent!

Hey "jazzliscious" I just read your comment & I do respect your opinion, however as much as I agree with you that this album is good & I do consider it even better then their first 2 albums I disagree with you totally as far as you saying that this album is better then "Autobahn". "Autobahn" was a landmark album in itself for Kraftwerk - This album does not fall into the catagory of a landmark album.
