With this album Kraftwerk reacted to criticism from the British specialized press that accused them of threatening conventional instruments for music developed from machines.
However and following a line in accordance with his previous works, the concept of the album revolves around a declaration of love for the machine and its positive interaction with man.
From a musical point of view, the German band have never been so inspired as in this work, which has the most beautiful and memorable melodies of their entire career.
Also in this work they moved away from the references of imitations to other conventional instruments like the violins or the choirs used in albums like "Trans Europe Express" or "Radioactivity", using exclusively electronic instruments.
The album would go on to be Kraftwerk's biggest hit as it sailed between effective commerciality and unanimous acclaim from the world press.
Russian constructivism, Italian futurism, French avant-garde, and German expressionism, were a cocktail of influences that the band knew how to transmit achieving this superb album.
