  radioactivity - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about radioactivity
Alpha particles are positively-charged, high-energy particles emitted from the nucleus of a radioactive atom.
Radioactive substances decay exponentially with time, and the value of the half-life for a substance can vary from a fraction of a second to billions of years.
Radioactivity has a number of uses in modern science, but its use should always be carefully controlled and monitored to minimize the risk of harm to living things.

 BBC - Classic Pop/Rock Review - Kraftwerk, Tour De France Soundtracks
The album itself is good in some places, patchy in others but it's still a hell of a lot better than a lot of garbage around today.
The album when listened to in full is nothing short of brilliant the tracks roll into one another and the sounds of bike chains, hearts beating and panting throughout bring it all together.
This is classic kraftwerk album from the sounds of it, a concept lp that perfectly captures musically and atmospherically some aspect of the man and the machine.

The album was released in 1970 as Kraftwerk, and had the first echoes of what was to become the sound of the group much later.
This awareness was reflected in their next album, "Radioactivity." This album did not attain the commercial success of their previous album "Autobahn," but marked a step forward in terms of artistic and musical conception.
The album's highlights were the new tracks, such as "Vitamin," "Aero Dynamik," and "Elektro Kardiogramm." For that last song, Ralf Hütter recorded the sounds of his heartbeat and used them as a base for developing the rhythm of the song.

Their next album, Autobahn, made a commitment to expanding the importance of the synthesizer beyond what bands like Hawkwind, Tangerine Dream, and ELP were already doing at the time.
In 1977, Kraftwerk released the album Trans Europe Express, an album which many considered to be the most important electronic album of the decade.
This became their inspiration for the song "Tour de France." "Tour de France" was intended to be the theme of a new concept album, but the idea was never brought to fruition.

Musically, the album represents a quantum leap of pop sensibility; though still distinctly a "prog" soundscape, its brilliant melodic hooks (best represented by the title track and "Airwaves") are organized in more traditional--read shorter--form.
Perhaps the song the is technologically the greatest of this album, remember this was 1975.
Overall, an often critisized album and it is far from their best, but it is a concept album and all of those songs were needed to fit the concept of broadcasting and communications.

Like all of their work, it was a concept album, this one based on the radio.
It was released at the height of the punk rock movement (1978) and the uniformity of their look reminds me of Devo several years later, all wearing identical clothes, with similar hair cuts.
I like this whole album from the beginning of the first cut to the last note of The Man Machine, however, The Robots is my favorite cut on the album.

OMD's third album, the ethereal 'Architecture and Morality' proved to be one of their finest moments.

And while few would have expected to ever hear a new Kraftwerk album before it was announced, it is of little surprise that such an event would be its catalyst.

 Planet Mellotron Album Reviews: K3
In fact, the whole album is probably worthy of the dreaded 'concept' tag, as most of the tracks seem to deal with the subjects of the past being allowed to slip away and what it meant to be English in the late '60s.
Their sole album, Koobas, is a late-period psych effort, quite possibly released after the band's dissolution; while not essential, it's worth hearing for aficionados of the era, with plenty of echo effects, spooky spoken passages etc. Oh, and some decent songs.
Kraftwerk's sixth album (under that name, anyway), continued the work of its two predecessors in its retro-futurism, combining state-of-the-art electronics with 1930s haircuts and suits, not to mention their ironic 'Brave New World' lyrics (sample from previous album: "Radioactivity, it's in the air for you and me").

The result is an introspective, claustrophobic album of melancholy song-like forms; from the gritty, distant percussive opening to the majestic tape-squeal finale, 'Des Parasites…' is a concise and intensely personal statement from a unique and underdocumented artist.
This album is the complete recording of a concert they gave during that tour, at Aku Aku in Tsukuba.
This album reflects his in-depth study of alternative tunings and of traditional Japanese music as well as an interest in the breath as a primary rhythmic and structural basis for composition.

 [No title]
There's been some confusion about this album, because of the word play on "radio activity," as in traffic heard on the bands, versus "radioactivity," as in nuclear radiation.
Some versions of the album had nuclear radiation stickers enclosed, and a special long mix of the title track was done later for an anti-nuke protest.
Later the Radioactivity song was remixed yet one more time, as the technogeek "William Orbit Hardcore" version.

Reissue of the third album by one of the world's most influ ential electronic acts of all-time.
Whereas the later albums are definitive "finished products," this album comes across as a work-in-progress, a fluid process that almost seems to form into a different shape each separate time you listen to it.
Buyers should be aware that CD editions of this album and other pre-"Autobahn" Kraftwerk albums ("Organisation - Tone Float", "Kraftwerk", "Kraftwerk 2") are pirated copy versions, using recordings made from original vinyl albums and low-budget printing of the jewel case covers.

 Julian Cope Presents Head Heritage | Unsung | Reviews | Kraftwerk - Radioactivity
It's also the most musically stark and austere album they'd made since Kraftwerk 2, with extremely minimal melodies, but, paradoxically, no other Kraftwerk album is as rich in small sonic details and sheer brooding atmosphere.
To my ears, Radioactivity honestly sounds like it was recorded five years after Autobahn rather than just one, such is the change in the sound.
Antenna is always the highlight of this album for me. The tune, the buzzing and squelching effects, the ethereal, ultra-reverberating vocal harmonies on the German verses...utter arranging genius.

Kraftwerk used sounds from the Speak ‘N’ Spell on their album “Computer World”, and hearing those sounds brings back a flood of nostalgia to anyone that ever owned one.
The bland, archaic blue and white Autobahn logos are on the screens (the same ones that are sported on shirts in the lobby) which then give way to the actual cover of the album.
The assorted images of atoms, radioactive signs and what appear to be campy 50's instructional films in the background make the song more eerie than ever.

Then he might scroll through the writings of media theoretician and critic Neil Postman or cut in a sentence from the works of Bret Easton Ellis, so that the speech synthesis has something to say.
”Communication”, the first solo Karl Bartos album since the Electric Music project (”Esperanto”, ”Electric Music”), works on something like the same principle of a camera obscura: the light of the outside world beams into a dark room through a tiny hole, projecting an image onto the wall.
