Big Ian Another triumph from Kraftman. This of course could been as a homage to Kraftwerk's Tour de France Soundtracks album, but it still works in its own right. (And whisper it - it might be a more enjoyable listen over all than that album!).
The lovely soundscapes also recall the analogue days of Radio Activity and Trans-Europe Express more than the digital Kraftwerk of Tour de France.
If you're a fan of mid-1970s Kraftwerk you'll love this. If you're a fan of classic synthpop you'll love it too. Favorite track: King Of The Mountains.
