Atom™ - HD

Loving this Kraftwerkian and all.

I wonder if it was intentional that the title track can be heard as "pop acheter" as well as pop HD

what do u mean?

Sorry if jazz. Unofficial video by that dude who makes all the amazing mnml videos on YouTube

"My Generation" might be the only sour point.

Funnily enough that was the one I enjoyed the most. For some reason it reminded me of Kid 606's NWA remix:

 

it reminded me of this:

Glitch mixed with blues?! I've just had an eargasm ....

the recent descriptions of this have made me much more curious

listening now. its kewl

maybe i'm just being silly, but it's not wrong to think that the big OOOOOOOHHHHHMMMMMMMMM in Strom is the mangled sample from ohm sweet ohm? if not a sample well then obviously a nod. lol pop music obviously starts with kraftwerk for uwe

this is a great cd, something i've been looking for recently, amazed by the lack of interest in pop by talented producers

Well in a track about strom the usage of words like ohm, volt, ampere is kind of expectable.

the fact is that [*GOOD*] pop is a lot harder to make a lot of the time than straight up techno and whatever

both have their place but I agree... pop requires something beyond technical know-how

this album has both, as do most great works

haven't gotten to into this beyond "Strom" yet though but that track is great

I'm sure the guy has great stuff hiding in the cracks that I haven't heard yet though on other albums

*continues to wait for this shit to appear in mailbox wtf*

This. :)

What a fantastic album this is! Sometimes I think I'm expecting too much from new electronic music, but then I listen to something like this and am reminded of the difference between fresh sounding, smartly produced, imaginative, catchy, excellent materials like these and most other things. This'll sound pretentious, but never mind: the way Atom TM references the past (and things like Kraftwerk) seems much more romantic and 'pure' to me than the mostly self-aware, boring retrofesting that is going on in so much electronic music now.

Well said. I think W. Voigt has also spoken about this to a certain extent. And actually if I recall it was one of the things Kraftwerk themselves considered important.
