Rating: Kraftwerk ergo “How To Build Your Own Automaton”.
Chapter X: From Man to Automaton (and Back).
Closing the circle.
From industry, to its products.
From the perishability of the human to the eternity of its product.
From man to automaton.
How can an automaton rediscover itself as human (discover it was only pretending)?
By listening to its own breath.
By making panting, heartbeat, sweat on the forehead, a repetition.
Playing the same game of eternalization, but eternalizing the human body.
Making synthetic and abstract the analog and concrete: human effort.
Rediscovering effort, in other words, the industry of man.
Nice way to close the circle.

By Little
Ralph, Florian, Fritz, and Henning have produced the album that, for pure electronic music lovers, is simply A MASTERPIECE.
Certain sounds in the album come from samples of bicycle noises... they are so well embedded in the musical context that they go unnoticed.
