I think Kraftwerk spent four albums experimenting before they descovered themselves.

well ... imho , kw spent 3 albums ( NOT includin' the "tone float" album by their predecessor project organisation , of course !!! ;-) on "experimentation" with sounds in general & the next two albums ( "autobahn" & "radio-activity" ) to discover their concept status , as both - "autobahn" & "radio-activity" - still included lots of "noisy" trax that simply can't be described as conventional songs , because they jus' lack such a structure !!! however ... many greetinx , oh jay ;-) *~\^/~*
