Claudia Robot - Alarmsignal (Austria, 1982)

Claudia Robot released her "Alarmsignal" LP in 1982 while still based in Vienna. The title song is one masterpiece on an LP containing several. "Alarmsignal" also turned up as a B-side of the "Scherbenlilli" single.

Since 1945, enough songs have linked erotic love with atomic reaction that it constitutes a sub-genre of nuclear-influenced music. But Claudia Robot is unique in her usage of an alarm signal (which could translate to what we call an "air raid siren" here in the USA) as a metaphor for sensual pleasure. Combined with this meaning, the "Alarmsignal" is a further mechanized expression of the "Ich bin Roboter" (I am a robot) idea central to her music and live shows during this period. At some early shows, Claudia Robot even donned a robot costume.

"Komm
Komm zu mir
In meinem Zimmer steht ein Bett
In das du kriechen kannst
[...]

Du bist mein Alarmsignal
Deine Hände - überall
Du bist mein Alarmsignal
Deine Hände- überall"

"Come
Come to me
There is a bed in my room
That you can crawl into
[...]

You are my alarm signal
Your hands - everywhere
You are my alarm signal
Your hands - everywhere"

Claudia Robot (aka Klaudia Kroboth) calls the US home these days . She still writes and performs songs in both English and German. I'll drop a link to another one of my favorite tracks in the comments.
