32) "The Mid-Morning Recording"        Kraftwerk-'The Man-Machine'
I hadn't played a Kraftwerk album for an MMR in a while, and because I just started collecting their albums a few years ago, am not surprised that there are still so many albums by them that I haven't played. The last two times they came into Texas was 2016 and 2015, and on those occasions, I played our "Five-Hour Kraftwerk" broadcast. There really isn't too many artists that are as influential as The Beatles, Bob Dylan, or The Kinks, or Pink Floyd. Kraftwerk are certainly one of those bands. They were always before their time. This album sounds like an early 80's album, and being that it was released in 1978, the album didn't see much success in the U.S. until MTV came along in 1981, and their music was heard by another demographic. I think it took until the year 2000 before video and performance technology finally caught up with Kraftwerk. Laptops and high-definition video projectors made Kraftwerk better, and their art better as well. They have better 3-D tech, and better robots now too. Without them, there wouldn't be Electro, Techno, or Detroit House. They changed music forever, and this masterpiece of an album cemented them forever as electronic pioneers. "We're charging our battery, and now we're full of energy. We are the robots. We are the robots." - Michael - MFL
33) James-"Sayonara"  From the album 'Wah-Wah'.
