Radio Activity

Kraftwerk embraces the atomic age with mixed emotions in their digital remastered heavyweight vinyl collection. Surfing on sine waves and scanning the stratosphere for stray radio signals, they plug themselves into a buzzing grid of energy and communication.

From the stately eco-angst anthem "Radioactivity" to the synthetic Gregorian chants of "Radio Stars" and the melancholy machine processional of "Ohm Sweet Ohm", a sombre but engrossing monumentalism dominates their work.

With heavily processed vocals in both German and English, Kraftwerk go global with depth and majesty, writing liturgies for a new industrial epoch where factories and power stations are the new cathedrals.
