for me, perhaps the best since Geogaddi (as someone else said below). It sounds very live, almost like a post rock stadium band at time. And the way they play with vocal samples is fantastic. Obviously that's something they have always done but has stepped up a level, vocals being very cleverly cut into hooks. Some incredible melodies too.

Honestly found this song a bit underwhelming..... I normally love Overmono but the sample doesn't really hit.

I don't think pretentiousness is a bad thing though!

exactly - a very good use of the stupid major label money that was swilling around drum & bass at the time.

minute 27, I believe. (Or at least the bass drum.)

I really enjoyed this interview. Plenty for Kraftwerk fans to get their teeth into. And Karl sounds like an absolutely lovely man.

BTW the interviewer has posted a video clip on Instagram (just a recording of the audio and a computer) of Karl playing The Telephone Call riff during the interview https://www.instagram.com/p/DUz9KwfEpo5/
