Whenever I explain that I dislike the overhanded use of autotune in music I qualify it with except for Daft Punk because a friend introduced me to Kraftwerk in the 80s.

What an awesome cover
Itās cool looking at how music changed over time, itās why I organize mixes I make for the car based on genre then single release date It can be jarring going from the early to the later stuff, watching the change helps to understand in the same way looking for perspective helps to understand why some works of art are so great.
In keeping with the techno and historical theme, this is the 1st song from 1977 on my techno/trance mix CD (98 songs):
This is the last from 2013.
I remember clubbing around 2002 and this was played during a set and finding out later it wasnāt some type of remix. So awesome.
