kraftwerk 2 is such a cool album like aside from just being dope i think its so cool u have the songs with bass and guitar not just cause its bass and guitar but like u can hear that ralf and florian still gravitate toward similar playing styles on instruments that they dont seem to be as familiar with compared to their normal instruments. like ralf still pursues rhythmic stuff like he did on the electric organ/electric piano and florian still does like echo-y things and just more expansive spacial sounds like he would on flute but they dont seem as like able to conjure relaxing moods liek they were able to with the keyboard flute combo and instead all the guitar bass stuff sounds more moody. like its intereesting cause  i think theyre really great at the keyboards and flute respectively like florian was able to rly do great terry riley type stuff and ralf was able to improvise in a way that still contributed to the rhythm and deep end of the music while also sprinkling in the lil melodies that kraftwerk would eventually become defined by. but like with them on bass and guitar ralf would still do rhythm stuff but instead on bass and idk if florian was using like an echo still or was just letting the guitar naturally reverb or smthn but like its rly cool that theres still that formula but simply changing the instruments changed the music entirely. idk tho kraftwerk 2 may also be seen as an underwhelming album to some ppl so like its an album that invites being read and analyzed compared to like the psychedelic instrumentals of their first album or the more consistently mood pieces of ralf und florian. tho i do think kraftwerk 2 is a rly great album like i dont actually think its underwhelming at all its just one of those great albums that gets better with each listen and like def feels like compared to their firsst album they were actually trying to set out to make something rly just disciplined unlike the more dicking around type stuff of their first album. i like a lot of their first album too tho i think all their albums are great lol tho their first is probably the most like idk stuff that kinda feels aimless. ppl always say experimental stockhausen stuff in rock/krautrock stuff is aimless and i hate that cause i once saw some1 say taht augmn from tago mago was filler and on the same level as sondarangebot from neu’s debut and that made me want to ring their neck lol like smthn like augmn is def one of cans greatest achievements ANYWAYS ya like in the case of kraftwerks first album a good amount of the spacey stuff kinda feels more like idk just aimless and more just them playing with gadgets in the typical rock fashion than anything with a real weight but also at the same time i like the mix of stockhausen sounds with liek free improvisation sounds like its a cool mix. I REALLY FUCKING LOVE machine gun by peter brotzmann and brotzmann’s work in general cause i lovethat mix of john cage or stockhausen grupen type stuff with free jazz like its rly great conceptually and musically mixing the two with such straightforward success. i mean european free improvisation as a whole is like that and that makes it rly great imo. ANYWAYS i do feel like kraftwerk 1 as a whole is definitely uneven even tho its a great fun listen. like theres things ‘wrong’ with it that isnt in their other work stuff that dates it more but also its still a great fun album for sure. ruckzuck will always be a essential kraftwerk track for sure kinda sucks they disowned their earlier albums cause a song like that rly is an essential part of their history. like its ruckzuck -> kling klang -> tanzmusik -> autobahn -> radio activity -> trans europe express -> the model -> the entirety of computer world -> tour de france etc if you wanna chart their growth and changes as a band solely on a song to song basis. like those ARE the defining songs of their career. I FORGOT WHAT THIS POST WAS ABOUT AND LET MY MIND WANDER AIMLESSLY
