    Slight hijack – I have a kraftwerk shaped hole in my collection. Is there a decent compilation/compendium to get me going.

    And Jarres zoolook was revolutionary in the day, though I think the ambient track on waiting for cousteau is overlooked.

    Leftism, orbital and all the above fo sho but to add

    Resistance is Futile – Vera Volt and The Milliamperes.

    I always preferred UFOrb over Adventures in the Ultraworld

    Kraftwerk – Tour de France – ideal for putting on when doing post-ride stretches – nothing is more appropriate!

    @the purist The Mix is a good Kraftwerk compilation. Also recommend Transeurope Express, and Tour de France

    Great album, but is screamadelica ‘electronic’ in the sense it’s been asked?

    Reverence, Faithless.
    And Selected Ambient Works, of course.

    If I was to file Screamadelica in either rock, alternative/indie or electronic, it would be be the latter, just because the Weatherall tracks make the album.
