Kraftwerk - The Man Machine
In favor of the listeners of the group "The Last Waltz," the final track of an epochal, seminal, fundamental album, not just for "electronic" music (quotes are fine, @[macaco]?), but for music period. A cold and minimalist track, as befits the four Germans, used for years as a benchmark to test high-end hi-fi systems, it moves on the basis of an insistent and synthetic ticking, as repetitive and at times chilling are the instrumental interventions of our artists, stripped down to the bone in an apocalyptic crescendo, describing a coming dystopian reality. The voice here is strictly processed through a vocoder. If, since the days of "Autobahn," the "extreme" solutions adopted by Kraftwerk amazed with their novelty, freshness, and ability to surpass what was achieved with the previous album, this closing track from the eponymous album encompasses and exceeds all, always framing them in increasingly chilling four-four time, yes, very much danceable.
Turn up the volume, here comes the Man-Machine.
Man-machine, pseudo human being, super human being....
