Kraftwerk's radical 1976 track

"It kind of started when I met Phil Oakey [who would later become The Human League's frontman] at school; he had a much bigger record collection than me, which was an awakening. We got into Kraftwerk together, before they were even an electronic band. The thing that really changed it for me was Radio-Activity. It's conceptual art, it didn't sound like anyone else. I loved the bravery of Radio-Activity, and there's a certain gentleness, as well. It's ethereal, like there was a profound intelligence behind it all."
