Kraftwerk - Kraftwerk 2 - Harmonika

Описание: Kraftwerk 2 is the second studio album by German electronic band Kraftwerk, released in January 1972. Kraftwerk 2 was entirely written and performed by founding Kraftwerk members Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider in late 1971, with the sessions produced by the influential Konrad "Conny" Plank. Perhaps the least characteristic album of their output, it features no synthesizers, the instrumentation being largely electric guitar, bass guitar, flute and violin. The electronics on display generally belong to the realm of 1960s tape-based music more usually produced in academia, with heavy use of tape echo (for example the massed looping flute layers of "Strom"), and reverse and altered speed tape effects. All tracks are written by Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider-Esleben.
Prog Archives: "It is odd how a Metalhead like me listens to Krautrock, well with Kraftwerk, Neu!, Can, GuruGuru, Ashra Tempel who can complain! I love this record well not as interesting as the first album and the pre-Kraftwerk Tone Float but still a cracker of a listen! (...) Again only for the Krautrock people and electronioc pop fans will be sshocked of the difference in this album. My final verdict is 85% not as good as the previos but much better than the later albums they produce. " (Wiki, Discogs, Prog Archives)
