I don't know about 'most interesting' -- maybe 'most interesting to
people who like Can and Faust.' They are a lot more diffuse and
improvisatory than the later Kraftwerk stuff.
I personally am much more fascinated by the post-autobahn stuff.
They pulled off an art-prank more audacious than the KLF,
implementing an agenda that owes a lot to the Futurists, and
selling it to the world as Pop Music.
