S7E383 - Kraftwerk 'Radio-Activity' with Kevin Chanel
from That Record Got Me High Podcast · host Rob Elba
German electronic band Kraftwerk's 1975 release 'Radio-Activity' is a bit of a forgotten middle-child, having come just after 'Autobahn' and just before 'Trans-Europe Express'. Returning guest Kevin Chanel makes the case that this highly experimental, avant-garde concept album deserves a second look.
