Lyrics:
Die Stadt ist die Maschine
Ingenieure
In der riesigen Maschine
Formen den neuen Mensch
Endverstärker
Ausschlag links
Ausschlag rechts
Signalingenieure
Lassen frei den neuen Mensch
Es wird gebaut
Die Überstadt
Über, überstadt
Die Überstadt

[English]
The city is the machine
Engineers
In the huge machine
Form the new Man
Power amplifier
Response left
Response right
Signal engineers
Set free the new Man
It is being built
The über-city
Über, über-city
The über-city

As an old school machinist/toolmaker, and an avid fan of Kraftwerk and 70s electronica, this is heavenly perfection!!!!

[PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

Public Service Broadcasting + Blixa Bargeld = Masterpiece 🔥

[tomaspfleger]

Richtig schön kraftvoll!
Könnte mir gut vorstellen, dass das in den goldenen 20er auch ein Hit wäre!

[mattilett]

That scratches a Kraftwerkian itch I didn't realise I had....so looking forward to Oct 26 in Bristol. And exciting Friday is coming ever closer now! Thanks chaps! Pip pip!

[juyhfrty]

This is the PSB we know and love, this track should be ten to fifteen mins long so you can immerse into it

[AMAZINGPIXIELADY]

Brad Fiedel described his Terminator theme as 'a mechanical man and his heartbeat.' I'm getting that same vibe with this. Love it.

[dutchbeef]

As a collector of train sound recordings on vinyl this really appeals to me

[bxmachine]

PSB meets Kraftwerk via Ramstein. Superb!

[protonprotonfix]

Ganz großes Kino! I love it that in spite of the fucking Brexit artist are still connecting between UK and Europe/Germany. Don’t let them stop you!

[davidmiller]

The Kraftwerk comments were expected but I immediately thought of Station to Station and Hitchcock with the initial images and intro.
Look forward to the live gigs

Blixa Bargel. The best musician of the last 50 years, for his versatility, improvisation, surprising, anticipating, experimenting....

[jasonphilbrook]

This is awesome.. Your creativity and skill deserve a million followers.

[Nemova]

In addition to all of the aforementioned greatness that this track carries I also love the nod to Every Valley’s “Progress”. Sept. 24th can’t come soon enough.

[GPTD]

Splendid! After VANGELIS in the Lichtspiel III, KRAFTWERK in Der Rhytmus! 🛠

[deckieb]

How have i not heard these before. Amazing. Roll on Birmingham.

[Lerequindemort]

The triple train tracks at start…T.E.E.

Nice nod. I like.

[mindscraftsman]

Das Lied alleine ist schon ist ne Klasse für sich.
Das Video rundet die Sache bestens ab .

[gigteevee]

Great to hear Blixa on this, more!!!!

[SIDARI]

excellent shots of a vertical borer in action, spent many an hour on one of those

[philipmulville]

Fabulous music. Incredibly atmospheric.
