Landcruising has a retro feel to it. I remember reading some article saying this is how Kraftwerk would of sounded if they came from Detroit. I don't think they are sounds with "Factory presets", i think he used alot of old analog gear and wanted to go for a more retro sound. I think the whole cds is great, especially the last track Home Entertainment. --- xxxx_xxxxxx@xxxxx.xxxxxxx.xx wrote: > I picked up Landcruising from a bargain bin a few > years > ago.
