THE NORTH RIDING PROJECT

There’s a mesmeric grace to Kraftwerk’s music, a sweetness and an all-encompassing sense of circular, major-chord resonance that completely defies the band’s robotic image.  Like their closest music relatives, the original Ramones, Kraftwerk were bubble-gum revolutionaries, ludicrously simple but absolutely radical and utterly inimitable.  There is virtually no more seductive pop music on the planet.
