I've got a brand new Combine Harvester is a classic, maybe the Stranglers should play it to liven their set up a bit,do want to sing along with the Fookin Stranglers? Major Kudu.

I'm completely with you on this one. A fucking novelty act if there ever was one.

I don't know about that, I got into Kraftwerk albums like Trans Europe Express, Man Machine, and Computer World. There's some classic album tracks, long sections of instrumental sections just the ultimate in "electronic rock" music really.
Autobahn too is great although technology / sound is relatively primitive on that.

I'd say the compilation Minimum-Maximum covers the bulk of their work on 2 CDs. Again just my opinion but when I listen to their albums I find it difficult to glean anything from it that's not covered on that compilation.

When I listen to Kraftwerk it has to be in German. It just sounds more authentic to me.

The German version of "The Model" is horrible.
