Rob Evans mentioned "Um...Kraftwerk make albums about things that are part of our everyday life, rather than obscure things that not too many people understand." Not always the case. Computer World (LP) for example, hit us in 1981... computers were NOT a part of daily life. On the obscure end of the scale what about "Hall of Mirrors" is that immediately understandable? But.... I'll concede that Kraftwerk pick topics which they like, want to comment on or just want to have fun with! Rob also said "How on earth is the internet "old", how on earth are the cellphones that we use today old and how on earth is modern language studies (phonetics) old???" OK.. cellphones "we use today" are obviously as up to date as you can get.. but the "idea" of a mobile communicating device is a little older... I believe the study of Phonetics IS 'old'.... maybe the electronic reproduction of sounds is a little newer.. BUT... I know of references to a professor Kratzenstein (from Holland??) who produced sounds of the vowels with tubes connected to the pipes of a church organ. All this was done in the 1770's.
