Electronics are limited to effects, phasing through ‘Megaherz’ and dropping Spectrum bombs on ‘Vom Himmel Hoch’. Perhaps that's a good thing. Computer Love6. The eerie synth riff driving the title track – and rearing up here and there on ‘Europe Endless’ and ‘Abzug’ – stamped its mark on hip-hop and electro, notably on Afrika Bambaataa and Soulsonic Force’s ‘Planet Rock’, and the spidery fingers of ‘The Hall Of Mirrors’ had similar reach. Electronic pop, a fusion of elements from disco and minimalism that Kraftwerk invented more or less single-handedly (but not quite - Italian producer Giorgio Moroder was also significant). Of these, seven have appeared in the ‘UK Top 40’ music charts with 2 of them reaching the ‘Top 10’ but no albums have reached the No.1 position in the UK. Autobahn is essential for its title-track alone - the remainder of that album jumps back and forth uncertainly between the band's newly-fashioned pop sound and the more abstract experimental music of its earlier releases, as does the non-essential follow-up album Radioactivity (1975).
