“Motorik” is the second album by Swedish electronic artist Elektroklänge. This album serves as a tribute to Kraftwerk’s legendary “Autobahn”, released 50 years ago. The music style is a nostalgic journey, featuring robotic, computerized voices reminiscent of the original “Autobahn”. Rather than covering the tracks, Elektroklänge has reimagined the essence of “Autobahn”, creating a sound that is both sweetly modern and masterfully produced. While the album embodies many familiar Electro clichés, it does so with a high level of craftsmanship. The standout track is the well-known and more intense “Bordcomputer,” which I consider the album’s absolute hit. The rest of the tracks, though enjoyable, tend to be a bit too sweet for my taste. Overall, “Motorik” is a polished and commendable work. (Rating: 7½)

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
