Quite scary stuff in a way I reckon. I have never been a huge fan, so I've never got burned out on them, I just enjoy listening to them from time to time.
I often think though - what must the world of thought back in 1975 or whatever when autobahn hit the charts, no doubt completely out of the blue for most people? I mean, most people had probably never heard ANYTHING like that, some had probably never heard a synthesizer before. Must have been pretty mindblowing to say the least. Maybe one day we will all get a shock like that!
