If music is just organized sound this LP will never qualify as music, Ruckzuck is the only composition with any sort of structure I understand use to be an early concert favorite, if the photo used for the inner sleeve isn't enough proof of Kraftwerks fascination with technology then Vom Himmel Hoch should and will put an end to any remaining doubt. This is the first on record the group begins to experiment with artificiality recreating mechanical sounds this like Klingklang (from the second LP) which focuses and explores on the possibilities of program electric percussion, will eventually become Autobahn however the results here are nothing but primitive and crude examples of Kraftwerks early developmental period, it's a fascinating listening experience, however It should be noted Computerwelt fans should use extreme caution if you don't enjoy other German experimental prog_rock groups like Can or Nue! this won't be for you.

KW 2 like its predecessor is compleatly instrumental, this (like the first one) probably won't appeal to Kraftwerks' core audience, you have to know Ralf & Florian were just a pair of German hippies having fun only it's sometimes hard to distinguish the difference between art or just noise. Like minimal? Atem (Breath) consist of nothing more than Schneiders' breathing into a mic with echo unit, If this ever were attempted again I would prefer the breathing sounds of Darth Vader Kling Klang (Ringing Sound) is undoubtedly the LPs centerpiece, this composition like strom and spule 4 sounds like its made from separatet pieces. For this and most of KWs early output co-producer Conny Plank deserves just as much credit and recognition as Ralf & Florian themselves.
