Initially I must say I'm not at all impressed, however. A really boring track! :/
I agree: it is definitely Kraftwerkian, but it's nothing special. It doesn't sound like a reworking of TDF - the lyrics have the same metric, but it's almost all they've got in common. It's got a good drive, no noticeable melody (umph!), same sound textures as Expo2000. A very cold track, without *that* hint of warmth (as the "panting" in the original TDF) that defines KW music in opposition to almost all other electronica. In other words, too much machine and not enough man. I admit that I was much more thrilled, at first listening, by Boing Boom Tschak :-/ Ciao, Luca
