''Techno Pop'' (also known as ''Electric Café'') is the ninth album released by Music/{{Kraftwerk}}. The album was released in 1986 through Creator/WarnerBrosMusic in North America and Creator/{{EMI}} internationally. Sampling is '''chronic''' in this one -- that's pretty much down to the band switching for digital equipment when they were working on it.

Upon its release in 1986, though not massively hated or given any serious backlash, many fans and reviewers alike didn't give it as much praise compared to its predecessors. This would also turn out to be the band's last album for [[SequelGap 17 years]], not counting 1991's The Mix, 2000's Expo 2000 EP, or indeed the many remixes and performances of songs from this very album among others throughout TheNineties.

* HeavyMeta: The album conceptually can be thought of as entirely about the production of electronic sound/music.

* AlbumTitleDrop: Strangely, there's one for either version ("Techno Pop" or "Electric Café"). Being Kraftwerk songs, both songs naturally drop their names several times.
* {{Main/Sampling}}: Makes up the structure of pretty much every song on this album. "Boing Boom Tschak" and "House Phone" do this to hell and back.
* SyntheticVoiceActor: Every - yes, ''every'' track on this album has synthetic voices, or "synthetic electronic sounds" as is mentioned on "Techno Pop".
* TelephoneSong: "The Telephone Call" and "House Phone". One has lyrics, the other consists entirely of mixed up samples.
