The opening synth swells and bleeps that sounded so transfixing and alien to a 1980s child, now feel like well-craft soundscapes to plot the course. The kick dropping in under the analogue sequencer arppegio, the catchy topline melody, the vocal hook, the pop-style arrangement of verses and choruses... all elements we take for granted in modern pop music, were nothing if not pioneering in the 1970s. : https://www.voltagecontrol.blog/kraftwerk-we-are-the-robots/\n--\nDid you know that this song has been sampled nearly 75 times? Dr. Octagon sampled the hook for \"Blue Flowers.\"", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
