Synopsis
King of Freaks, Stuart Maconie, presents two hours of not-normal music for your delight and discovery. This weekend BBC Radio 6 Music Celebrates Kraftwerk and Stuart picks their fifth studio record Radio Activity as the Freak Zone's featured album.
Following on from the chart success of Autobahn, Radio Activity seems to step back into the obscure. Making abstract use of oscillators, white noise and silence, this is where Kraftwerk honed their avant-garde techniques to create catchy minimalist songs with a human heart.
