Kometenmelodie 2 - Kraftwerk

Released in 1981, this single presents some older Kraftwerk tracks. 'Kometenmelodie 2' appeared on the album Autobahn in 1974, and the B-side 'Vom Himmel hoch' was originally released on the album Kraftwerk in 1970 - an album which the band doesn't even want to be associated with anymore, it seems.

The difference between the tracks is very obvious: the A-side is a melody that stands the test of time very well, whereas the B-side sounds odd and experimental. A single like this doesn't pop up very often and it may be one of the biggest catches of this London shopping spree.
