Noise du Jour: “The Robots (Remix)” by Kraftwerk

This week’s Noise du Jour theme is: robots. Songs about robots, songs by robots.

There is no band more robotic than Kraftwerk, and no song by Kraftwerk can be more robotic than “The Robots.”

When I was a kid in the 1970s, Kraftwerk’s music literally sounded like The Future. I was certain that all music would sound like Kraftwerk (and/or Gary Numan) by the Year 2000. Well, the Year 2000 is history now, and technically, we’re now living in The Future. You can keep your disappointment over the lack of flying cars in the Year 2007, I’m disappointed that the radio isn’t full of angular German electronic music.
