Radio-Activity (German title: Radio-Aktivität) is the fifth studio album by German electronic music band Kraftwerk, released in November 1975. The band's first entirely electronic album is also a concept album organized around the themes of radioactive decay and radio communication. Although the sleeves vary in language, sometimes with English song titles, and sometimes German, the music is always the same, with some lyrics in English and some in German. This is in contrast to the band's later albums, where the lyrics would be rerecorded in each language. The album was accompanied by single release of the title track, which was successful in France and Belgium.
==Background== Following the success of its 1974 predecessor Autobahn, an album based on Germany's eponymous motorway network, Kraftwerk embarked on a tour of the United States with the "classic" lineup of the band formed by Ralf Hütter, Florian Schneider, Karl Bartos—who joined in February 1975—and Wolfgang Flür in April and May 1975.
