Their first album is very powerfull and mind-blowing stuff. The whole thing is an electro-acoustic monster drived by Stockhausen's tape loops colliding with grinding, heavy-droney industrial machinery. For my money, Kraftwerk never equalled the level of frantic madness of tracks like "Ruckzuck", "Megaherz" and "Vom Himmel Hoch". I simply cannot understand why this masterpiece, and also "Tone Float" by Organisation, were not properlly reissued!!!
Damn, even the neverending story of Neu!'s reissues finally comes to a happy end!!!!
