wasn't going to do it.... it was just too obvious. I listened to it and
thoroughly enjoyed it - got the odd tingle down my spine and smiled at
the occasional musical joke.... but it was just too obvious for me to
go on the radio and bang on about the new album from the band that I
have been claiming [for more than a quarter of a century] as one of the
most influential bands in my lifetime. They were the inspiration to
electro music, electronic music and hip hop to name three genres. And
everyone would expect me to do the new album on air in a big way, but I
thought that would be tacky.... then two weeks ago, I asked the
listeners what they wanted more or less of.... how could I do my job
better? And I inundated with a simple statement... play and talk about
the new album from KRAFTWERK. [T;%]
