Kraftwerk - s/t


Kraftwerk's debut is proof that minimalistic and/or abstract art can be good, despite the negative connotations that its garnered in recent years thanks to pretentious hipster bullshit like "Interior Semiotics". All four of these tracks -- which mix psychedelic soundscapes with abstract noises and extended "krautrock" jams -- unfold slowly and patiently, neither patronizing you nor beating you over the head with harshness or pretention. Plus, "Ruckzuck" really demonstrates Florian Schneider's ability as a flutist.

Favorite track: "Stratovarius"
Least favorite track: "Ruckzuck"
