Radioaktivität

The above song was released in 1975, and to this day remains one of my favourite songs of all time. It is, of course, by electro-rock legends Kraftwerk, and I have embedded the video here because I am somewhat dumbfounded that it has taken me almost all of my life to actually discover there is a video!

In my opinion, the above is about as close as a band could ever get to a perfect live performance. That’s from their live album/DVD, Minimum Maximum, otherwise known as the best live album ever made.

The performance of Radioactivity, 29 years after the first release, is just chilling. Doubly so when we consider how easy they could replace ?? (‘Hi-Ro-Shi-Ma’) with ?? (‘Fu-Ku-Shi-Ma’)…
