"My other favorite Kraftwerk album and in my opinion, their most underrated. Radio-Activity, much like Autobahn before it, is a concept album dealing with human technological and engineering feats, whereas Autobahn was about a journey on the groundbreaking German road system of the same name recreated in electronic sound. Radioactivity deals with radio technology and the culture surrounding historically, while also making puny references to radioactivity (the kind that can kill you) in that classic Kraftwerk fashion of deadpan pun based humor. Radioactivity is an album of retrofuturism, one using 1920's and 30's era radio technology to create a legitimately futuristic sound sound using early electronics. Radio-Activity is a groundbreaking electronic album that like along with everything else Kraftwerk did during this time, helped to invent synthpop and shape much future electronic music." allmusic.com
