1001 Albums Summary

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk

Very spacey with a ton of synths. Heavy robotic and machine themes. Overall very linear, there isn’t much development through the album. It all feels like one long song, albeit a good song.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly

Generic rock overall uninteresting.
