Great song! The brothers Mael, those alterna-electrica originals (Kraftwerk
with a sense of humour -- although Kraftwerk had quite a sense of humour in
their own way too I think, much more so than much of what has followed on
from them, but with Sparks you always knew from the first bar that they were
taking the piss) have released a new album btw which is quite fine:

It must be the season, what with the Go-Betweens triumphant comeback as well
not so long back.

    "By 1945, the factory system - which, more than
     any piece of machinery, was the real and major
     result of the Industrial Revolution - had been
     extended to include the Manhattan Project, the
     German long-range rocket program and the death
     camps, such as Auschwitz.It has taken no major
     gift of prophecy to see how these three curves
      of development might plausibly converge, and
                before too long. ... "
