This is quality. Almost everything this guy touches is gold
Kling Klang studio at its best.
Amazing album. I have the original German language version. Quite different to the English version.
Class.
Agreed on the album. A landmark in music.
From station to station
Back to DĂźsseldorf City
Meet Iggy Pop and David Bowie
I have listened to that over the last couple of days.
Just a classic by a band at the top of their game at that time.
Chris Martin, lead singer of UK group Coldplay, anecdotally recalled, in a late 2007 article in Q about Kraftwerk, the process of requesting permission to use the melody from the track âComputer Loveâ in its 2005 release âTalkâ from its album X&Y. He recalled writing them a letter and sending it through the lawyers of the respective parties and several weeks later receiving an envelope containing a handwritten reply that simply said âyesâ.
Another one for the rugby chaps - ââŚToo many people take second-best, but I wonât take anything lessâŚâ
Curiously those lyrics or any translation of them that I can catch do not feature on the German language version.
Killing Joke released a new album last week. Itâs a fuckinâ belter - musically and lyrically. I hope I have that much fire in my belly when Iâm in my 50s.

Billy Joel & Tony Bennett - New York State of Mind
Thats an outstanding series of gigs, some brilliant moments in it, this was my favourite
Lovely bit of Rockabilly here
Hank Mizell Jungle Rock
And hereâs Hank performing it live in 1976.
Hank recorded the tune in 1958 and it disappeared into obscurity. It turned up on a rockabilly compilation in Holland in 1976 and made its way onto John Peels show. It made number 3 in the charts in the UK. But Hank had disappeared and couldnât be found for months and so never appeared on TOTP.
