Bleep

What can we even say about this one? German masters and forefathers of electronic music as we know it today, Kraftwerk were at their most accessible with The Man Machine. Alternate-universe singalong favourites like 'The Robots' (which had a heavy influence on LCD Soundsystem's 'Get Innocuous') and UK Number 1 hit 'The Model' sit alongside the lengthy shimmer of 'Neon Lights' and the nervous tension of 'Metropolis', each track a model of perfection in its own right, yet even more magnificent in context. If this isn't already in your collection, it's about time you rectified that.
