notes
A cool, mid-register saw-square lead states the title theme in unison octaves, locked to the Synthanorma's clock so every phrase falls on the beat like train wheels on rail joints. A shallow pitch vibrato keeps it from sounding purely mechanical. No official patch sheet exists for the Kling Klang rig from this era; this is a reconstruction anchored to Kraftwerk's known 1977 instrument list.
