Following the acclaimed “Abfahrt” EP and the full-length album “Motorik”, this three-track EP is the culmination of a sonic journey through German electronic music, with a modern twist on the genre KRAFTWERK helped shape.

The EP features a finely tuned radio edit of the title track, and an epic, 22+-minute “umleitung mix”. This extended version takes listeners on a journey through ever-evolving melodies and rhythmic shifts, paying homage to KRAFTWERK while charting new territory with rich, unexpected twists.

Also included is the minimalist piano demo of “Glitzerstrahl”. This elegant “wohltemperierte klavier mix” offers a rare peek into ELEKTROKLÄNGE’s creative process, highlighting the origins of their signature sound.

“Auf der schönen grauen Autobahn” pays tribute to KRAFTWERK’s legacy while driving forward, blending past and future into a bold, adventurous soundscape.

ELEKTROKLÄNGE revives the vintage Kraftwerkian “Düsseldorf sound” with their top-notch synth-pop signature style. “Motorik” is a sonic journey inspired by KRAFTWERK’s groundbreaking “Autobahn” album, celebrating its 50th anniversary. Curiosity serves as the compass, and humour as the travel companion, as ELEKTROKLÄNGE explores and enhances the lyrical, musical, and conceptual themes presented in KRAFTWERK’s masterpiece.

Picture yourself in the driver’s seat of an imaginary car, guided by a robotic voice, embarking on a musical highway with tracks like “Abfahrt,” “Bordcomputer”, “Glitzerstrahl”, “Auf der schönen grauen Autobahn”, “Auto-Radio”, until reaching your destination in the closing track, “Ankunft”.

Let the repetitive yet evolving trademark ELEKTROKLÄNGE motifs and rhythms envelop you like passing landscapes, each beat a mile marker in this auditory adventure. Buckle up, crank up the volume, and let “Motorik” transport you beyond time and musical conventions. Get ready for a ride that electrifies the senses!

Authentic traffic sounds from German highways, vintage speech synthesis courtesy of the Texas Instruments Language Translator and the Chrysler Electronic Voice Alert system, flutes and vocoded vocals, all come together in the rather upbeat opening track “Abfahrt”. The following track “Bordcomputer” features modulated filter sweeps, sharp bass lines and a driving beat, all under the directions from the trip computer. Electronic choirs from vintage string synthesizers open up the song “Glitzerstrahl” and continues through the track accompanied by vocoded speech synthesis and vocals. The EP continues with synthesized nature sounds and flutes from the song “Herbstmorgen Früh Spaziergang”, which on this EP is presented in two parts, and finishes off with an elektro-müller mix of “Bordcomputer”.

A new conceptual chapter is activated. Left – right: watch out for more vintage Kraftwerkian “Düsseldorf sound” with the top notch synth pop signature style of ELEKTROKLÄNGE.

“Most songs are inspired by the “Musicomix” poster included in the third album by a couple of well-known “music workers” from Düsseldorf”, says ELEKTROKLÄNGE with a big smile.

Remaining faithful to the ELEKTROKLÄNGE characteristic trademark of minimalistic and melodic driven retro-future sound and his acknowledged vintage “Düsseldorf sound” roots, the Swedish artist offers an exquisite mix of different types of songs ranging from instrumental to more experimental, one or two in major keys and some featuring lyrics programmed into a replica of a Robovox as well as AI generated voices.

ELEKTROKLÄNGE brings its signature sound to the next level through meticulously programmed minimalist catchy synth melodies, repetitive machine bubbling rhythms and vocoder vocals.

This is AI generated robot pop music at its best!

ELEKTROKLÄNGE also made an exclusive digital artbook companion filled with original AI generated art and lyrics, that will be included on the Bandcamp version of the album.

Remaining faithful to the vintage “Düsseldorf sound”, ELEKTROKLÄNGE brings its signature sound to the next level through meticulously programmed minimalist catchy synth melodies, repetitive machine bubbling rhythms and vocoder vocals.

After the opening track “Startsequenz” the EP takes off with “Musik Kosmik” featuring Robovox-like vocals coupled with sparse melodies against a machine-driven beat. The song “Kometenklänge” is a rather upbeat song with several different melodies and vocoded lyrics. The Robovox returns on the song “Mondfahrt” which is based on a strong leitmotif locked to a beat in different time signatures. The EP finishes with an alternate mix of “Musik Kosmik” featuring extended rhythms, effected vocals and synthetic sound effects.

A lush 5-track EP confirming that this Swedish synth pop act definitely deserves being described as a “more emotionally-charged version of KRAFTWERK”…
