Kraftwerk's song "Radio Activity" is a commentary on the dangers and impact of nuclear power and radiation. The lyrics list several places that have experienced nuclear disasters or incidents, including Tschernobyl, Harrisburgh, Sellafield, and Hiroshima. The repeated plea to "stop radioactivity" emphasizes the need for awareness and caution when it comes to nuclear power. The song also references Madame Curie, who discovered radioactivity in the late 19th century, highlighting the history and science behind nuclear power.
The lyrics suggest that radioactivity is "in the air for you and me," indicating that the dangers of nuclear power are not confined to the locations of the incidents listed in the song. The reference to "chain reaction and mutation, contaminated population" emphasizes the long-term impact of radiation exposure beyond just physical harm. The use of Morse code in the song is also symbolic, as it was used in the early days of radio communication and highlights the connection between technology and radioactivity.

Absolute belter of a track
@DavidK-xn8fq
Francois turned a timeless symphony of electronic music into an awesome dance track.
@lopezlouco6531
Yeah he often does that! đ
@TheKraftwerkDatabase
its also worth noting that Francois did a mix of Tour De France in 83 and they still use elements of his mix today. He also helped a lot with production of the "Techno Pop" album in 86
@jamesforbes2205
@@TheKraftwerkDatabase that mix is killer.
@jamesforbes2205
@@TheKraftwerkDatabase And Francois, like Shep Pettibone (Level 42 Lessons In Love or DM Behind the Wheel) and Trevor Horn (Grace Jones - Slave to the Rhythm mixes and his work on Yes 90125) has this extremely refined ability to "spread" the voicing of his mixes so they feel like they've got space between them and the rest, in a three dimensional fashion, on top of the clever use of stereo panning between voices and instruments... it's clean and crisp, deep and rich and big all at the same time. Analog synths help, so does a few decades of studio experience and live music mixing chops but it's just also talent that's not given to everyone.

Agreed!!!!!

Still have this version on vinyl.
