Even at their late ’70s outset, these guys were more than just Tokyo Kraftwerk, and Technodelic is the album to point towards if you really want to make that case. Early custom-built sampling technology makes it a pioneering record and (more importantly) a delightfully strange one, beating Art of Noise to the punch by turning factory-floor noise into funk and manipulating vocal tracks into ghosts haunting their own machinery.
