No, this is not what I am saying. Kraftwerk's music, taken as a
whole, has a sort of childlike wonder about the new developing
technologies. But expecting them or any artist to be completly messianic
about technology in order to be considered transhumanist imposes
unreasonable constraints upon the exploration of these topics. I
would resist that sort of criteria in my own work.
