13. Mark LaneganRadio-Activity
I love all of Kraftwerk’s records but this one, for some reason, is the one I always go back to. There was a period of time when I would listen to it every night with the lights off and looking out of the window – usually of a hotel – at the lights of a city and that’s still the best way to hear it. It takes me to another place and I can’t really explain why I love that record.
It’s a record from a different world – that’s the way it sounds to me. My dad gave me a used copy of Autobahn – he was a schoolteacher and came across a box of used records that he found in the attic of his school – and that was my first exposure that kind of music. It’s really different.
