What I'm listening to today: "Kraftwerk"
Kraftwerk is known for a Specific Sound, their genre-defining electronic work. Did you know before they acquired/learned the electronics they just made prog music? Really good prog music? Florian Schneider's main instrument was the flute? Their first¹ album from 1970 has all the attention to feeling and timbre of electronic music but it's all Instruments and tape. If it sounds like Can that's because they used the same producer.
What I'm listening to today: "Falling In Love", Surface
This 1983 track is a wonderful-feeling midpoint between the last days of disco and 80s pop. I want to gush about each little production choice, every sound feels crafted. That primal synth bass.
I guess this is technically the extended club mix but it's the version that was on Tidal, and the longer runtime matches the song's unhurried, laid-back feel so well.
