I have to give them this: "Taschenrechner" is funny in an intelligent
way, whereas some of Tangerine Dream's overly cosmical stuff is
unvoluntarily comical. Geist weaving thru the cosmos and whatnot.
Or "we can lead you far beyond this door". (Oh well.)

Just wanted to say that while I _honour_ Kraftwerk for what they've
done, just as I honour W. Carlos' Switched on Bach, none of these
had an effect on me like Schulze's "Heinrich von Kleist". Just my
personal taste, ob better: for what I am susceptible.
