The Model


Kraftwerk, The Man Machine (Kling Klang, 1978)

Very excited to find Die Mensch Machine digging for records in Hamburg a few years ago. Strands of Constructivism, Futurism, Bauhaus...the best of the avant-gardes.


Señor Coconut, "We Are The Robots," 2008

For those of you who still need to know...Señor Coconut's El Baile Alemán (Emperor Norton, 2000) was among the more creative homages to the aforementioned groundbreaking Kraftwerk album - the classics reworked with Latin instrumentation and rhythms.
