historically, this is considered to be the first ever Detroit techno record, released in 1981 a few weks before cybotrons alleys of the mind. Musically, it is a strange but cool mash-up between kraftwerk, italo and robotic new-wave, with a quite minimal and raw production. The guys show a great sense of humour in the voices and lyrics. Slick, excellent record but uber-hard-to-find. Complete story about this song in Dan Sickos landmark book Techno Rebels, the best (only?) book about the history of Detroit techno.
