Being only familiar with the sardonic electro-pop of early 80s \u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/turntablelab.sbs\/search?q=kraftwerk\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKraftwerk\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, the drenched radio between stations sound of this record bored a perfectly paced and immaculately crafted hole in my skull. If the intensely dark, almost operatic key layers and transient blasts of yellow-eyed pitch shifting in \"Radioactivity\" don't force you into a rapt, static semi-seizure, then I'm sorry, but some shit is just beyond you. This is the absolute perfect realization of the \u003cstrong\u003eKraftwerk\u003c\/strong\u003e modus operandi. If you can't quite get with the full on \u003cstrong\u003eStockhausen\u003c\/strong\u003e brain diffusion but still would like to go into petrified critical introversion world with something, preferably something German, then I would have to recommend either \u003cstrong\u003eGoethe\u003c\/strong\u003e or this. There is just nothing touching it for a record that can simultaneously contort your stomach and make you smile with a kind of arcane and phantasmal beauty. It's the kind of album that will perpetually be ahead of its time and almost unapproachably daunting. Listening to this is like being cast into the ruins of the end of the world 30 years ago. If that sounds like something you'd be into, you probably already know this. If not, now is the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50th anniversary edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epicture disc vinyl pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoriginal release year: 1975\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Parlophone 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003ereviewed by Bob Bannister 11\/2005\u003c\/h6\u003e\n","brand":"Kraftwerk","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl 2LP","offer_id":43135023153242,"sku":"lp-18378","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/files\/kraftwerk-radioactivity-picdisc-1.jpg?v=1778089513","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/products\/kraftwerk-radio-activity-50th-anniversary-pic-disc-vinyl-2lp","provider":"turntablelab.sbs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
