Landcruising has a retro feel to it. I remember
reading some article saying this is how Kraftwerk
would of sounded if they came from Detroit. I don't
think they are sounds with "Factory presets", i think
he used alot of old analog gear and wanted to go for a
more retro sound.
I think the whole cds is great, especially the last
track Home Entertainment.
