Great:
Lie Back
Blow Job

Meh:

Death Machine

Transition Track:
Haackula

An experimental electronic masterpiece that paved the way for mainstream electronic music. It seamlessly mixes dinky playfulness with darkness in a way that makes it a compelling and unique experience unlike any other.

I could only imagine how mind-blowing this album was when it was released. Bruce Haack was a trailblazer.
