Rare Blue & Silver Label Gatefold Original. Side Two Has Two Superficial Marks That Are Inaudible And The Side One Label Has A Barely Visible Number Printed On It. Inner Gatefold Has A Name Written In Blue Pen. ?What Might Have Been Simply Seen As An Agreeable Enough Debut Album Has Since Become Something Of A Notorious Legend Because Kraftwerk, Or More Accurately The Core Hütter/Schneider Duo At The Heart Of The Band, Simply Refuses To Acknowledge Its Existence Any More. What's Clearly Missing From Kraftwerk Is The Predominance Of Clipped Keyboard Melodies That Later Versions Of The Band Would Make Their Own. Instead, Kraftwerk Is An Exploratory Art Rock Album With Psych Roots First And Foremost, With Conny Plank's Brilliant Co-Production And Engineering Skills As Important As The Band Performances. Still, Hütter And Schneider Play Organ And "Electric Percussion" -- Hütter's Work On The Former Can Especially Be Appreciated With The Extended Opening Drone Moan Of The All-Over-The-Place "Stratovarius," Combined With Schneider's Eerie Violin Work. But It's A Different Kind Of Combination And Exploration, With The Key Pop Sugar (And Vocal Work) Of Later Years Absent In Favor Of Sudden Jump Cuts Of Musique Concrète Noise And Circular Jamming As Prone To Sprawl As It Is To Tight Focus.?
