Some Great Reward

Recorded at Hansa Studios in Berlin, the album is saturated with the mechanical, cold tension typical of the middle of the decade. It represents a vital pivot in electronic music history, where raw, found-sound textures entered the mainstream.

You hear the progression from lighter synth-pop arrangements to the grittier, experimental sound the band would later master. This record stands as the exact moment they moved away from their early sound to embrace a more complex and foreboding aesthetic.
