Kraftwerk is a German electronic music band born in Düsseldorf in 1970. Its founding members, and still lead the group today, are Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider. They have been pioneers in many ways, but today we talk about an album released in 1975, entitled Radio-Activity (Radio-Aktivitäten German).

The album is a conceptual work on radioactivity, and the songs have titles unequivocal: Geiger Counter, Uranium, The Voice of Energy or insurmountable Radioactivity, a techno-pop song and naive about a science that would fit perfectly with the concept of the group: technology, energy and progress.
