4. Kraftwerk: Trans-Europe Express

This feels very very much like a lifetime achievement award, and the passage of the PF500 book reads like that's what they're awarding (lots of "without kraftwerk there can be no hip hop" blah blah blah).

A bit spare for early techno. Very mechanical. No guitar at all on top of that synth (when did they start doing that. 1987?).

I want to say "a bit too German," but complaining that Kraftwerk is a bit too German is kind of like saying "this cigarette is really smokey!"

Rating: 57.

OK with it being in the top 500: not really
