whats your favorite pre autobahn song (or songs)? my favorites are kristallo and heimklänge :)

This post got so long because I was just recording my thoughts as I relistened to the albums so made a short version LMAO

Ruckzuck. Absolute favorite no competition. flute beatboxing pops absolutely off + every time I hear it it's an instant "oh god I should practice with my flute again." florian. king. your mind. oh and fun fact, ruckzuck apparently transformed into Trans Europe Express (or at least parts of it) according to this old recording around the 19-20 minute mark. and TEE is famously my favorite KW album. so I stay winning forreal.

Megaherz with the calmer middle really gets to me. but also Von Himmel Hoch is so awesome, first of all it sounds cool (the way they mimicked sirens/planes/bombs falling/exploding + surprisingly funky??) and Second it was pretty taboo at the time to address the war through music like that, so contextually valuable.

Strom stands out to me as this cool blend of electric and orchestral instruments w/ effect experimentation, and I love its mood and how it becomes this countryish drawling thing.

Kristallo YOU ARE so correct, Kristallo is so good. insane how modern techno the first half(ish) sounds. maybe not the plinky keyboard bits (sorry ralf lol) but the beat... and heimklänge aauuuu ahhh sad howlingaaaauuuuuuuuu

Finally I have to mention the most uncomfortable TV performance I have ever seen in my life, Tanzmusik. the song itself is fine i just think its so funny ralf is straight dying. someone help him.

#ask #ALSO florian had some custom machine work done for the vocoder parts in ananas symphonie im fairly sure. because hes the coolest ever #man i remember the first time i heard these albums i was like wtff is this and now i am inseparable from them. changed my brain
