"This collaboration between ex-Kraftwerk percussionist Wolfgang Flur and Dusseldorf techno outfit, Mouse on Mars, offers glimpses of what Kraftwerk could be if they had any motivation and courage to release an album of actual new material. But this highly enjoyable techno-pop album, full of odd electronic noises and international vocalizations, more closely resembles Towa Tei in style than Ralf and Florian. Wolfgang Flur even writes lyrics and sings on this album, something he was never allowed to do while in Kraftwerk. Let's hope he has the inspiration to continue with another album and not fall prey to inactivity like his Kraftwerk mates (even Karl Bartos succumbed after his Elektric Music venture)."

Overlooked electropop gem

"I stumbled across this a couple of years ago and was very pleasantly surprised. Quirky but elegant electropop, with a tinge of old-school acid and some oddball vocals about such things as pesky mosquitos. More reminiscent of early Mouse on Mars (who were involved in the project) than Krafwerk. I've listened to this one over and over, and am in fact listening to it now. A classic."

Kraftwerk lives on.....

"This CD by an ex-Kraftwerk member demonstrates what Kraftwerk might be sounding like if they ever recorded another album. The sound is kraftwerkish but definitely has its own style. A joy to the ear and to the feet. IF YOU'RE AN ELECTRONIC MUSIC ADDICT...THIS cd IS FOR YOU. Enjoy and wonder what if Kraftwerk did put out another CD...would this be the "sound" ????"
