"Atomkraft? Nein, Danke!" is the third full-length album by the American electronic band Earthstar. It was their second release for the Hamburg, Germany-based Sky Records on February 1, 1981. "Atomkraft? Nein, Danke!" was recorded during 1979 and 1980 at Deponté la Rue Studio in Paris, France, and IC Studios and Emch Studio in West Germany. Additional tracks were recorded at Aura Sound Studio in New York State. All tracks were written by Craig Wuest except "Golden Rendezvous," which was written by Wuest and Daniel Zongrone, and "Forest Floor, Part II: Aras," a tape-loop improvisation with guitarist Dennis Rea.

The title, "Atomkraft? Nein, Danke!" was the slogan of the German anti-nuclear movement and literally means "Nuclear power? No, thank you!" Craig Wuest's intention in recording this album was to create an environmental tone poem, and some tracks, particularly "Sonntagsspaziergang," have an almost symphonic sound. The Planet Mellotron Web site describes the album as "more laid back" than its predecessor "French Skyline" and "...an ideal opportunity to hear the rarest tape-replay instrument," the Birotron.cite web
