Hey, let's not denigrate Ralf & Florian, who set the ground work for all
the music you like when Kirk Degiorgio could only reach the white keys of
his Rhodes. I'd refer you to any of the boots of the latest Kraftwerk tours
- The Return Of The Man-Machine is an excellent one - to re-experience the
subtle new tunes (and the extension of "Airwaves"), which in the Kraftwerk
style mix accessible and avant garde elements (the computer-y sequence in
the 2nd one, which is as poly-rhythmic as any underground tech-house
stuff). The vocoder melody in the breakdown of 1st new one in the set (the
Latin-y one between "Radioactivity" and "Trans Europe") has a particular
strange beauty, like the best of the European avant garde (old school that
is).
