@@j.dmetalhead7517 This is not about what you like or not. Its about what sounds futuristic. Kraftwerk is awesome, and was futuristic until 1990s. Today it is not futuristic anymore. Time got to it. Nothing is eternal. Once more, the point is not about what you like or not, its about what sounds futuristic to the majority of the ppl. If you ask 100 ppl from 25-50 years, they will tell you this is electronic music from the early era, not something futuristic.
Kids today can't imagine the thrill of learning about early robotics in the '70s and '80s. Kraftwerk nailed the era perfectly. Every time I listen to or see a Kraftwerk performance, I'm reminded of the Museum of Science and Industry when I was a kid. Just fascinating.
I was lucky enough to buy my first Kraftwerk album in 1979. I was 12. I thought the cover looked cool. It shaped my entire musical exploration, and later writing style. All my friends made fun of me (I grew up in Maine, haha) and thought my taste in Kraftwerk was at the very least, eccentric and bizarre. I just thought they were cool and interesting, and above all, I loved the sound of the machines, and the fact that they pioneered in building and modifying them because they were not available. Just synchronizing beats pre-midi or dyn-24 sync! It didn't exist without knowledge. Glad there are generations now who finally get it! YES!
My mother and her bf had this when I was 10 and I was in OOB, ME small world influential band. The cans in my house probably cost more than a good used car and Kraftwerk blew my mind.
Mine was Computer World after I’d heard The Model on the radio around age 12. Then I got TEE, and then every Kraftwerk record I could get my hands on. Bit of an obsession. My brother laughed at me mercilessly and I didn’t know anyone else in my small town who was into them. Wasn’t till the early 90’s when everyone else caught up 😆 They had a unique ability to distill a certain purity in their sounds. On top of that was an appreciation of space between the notes. That’s the only way I can describe it. It’s some kind of alchemy in getting to the essence of electronic sound very few if any other musicians have mastered in the same way. And then there was this funk in the rhythms and bass that these 4 straight looking white guys tapped into too. Totally unique ❤️👍🏼
Timeless! Kraftwerk will go down in history as the most influential band of our time, for they are not just music they are art, and was SO ahead of their time.
+Andrew B i agree for 100%... no, at least for 800% or more on that. Not many bands have influenced so many music streams as Kraftwerk did. Technik durch vorsprung !!
They were definitely influential, for many reasons, and far ahead of their time, but the Beatles have been a much grander influence, even on these guys. Lennon and Harrison were the first to use the moog, in its infant stages, on Abby Road, which 2 years later helped give birth to Kraftwerk.
I was a Kraftwerk fan way back then. They were sooooo far ahead of their time. When you heard them you knew who it was them. I still have them on vinyl. They seemed to be a love or hate group. Me I loved them.
@@simonbean8855 Another dumb comment... that's like saying food is poisonous, because some mushrooms in the woods might kill you. Why can't you recognize that both old and modern music both have shit in them, but that's not to say that either are all shit...
@@simonbean8855 Dude is needlessly being aggressive, but he does have a fair point. Have you heard all “modern” music? How can you even make such a claim? What even is “modern” music? You’re basically lumping together everything from Igor Stravinsky to Nikki Minaj when you say that, and it sounds pretty dumb. There’s so much stuff that’s amazing and it doesn’t get played on the radio, isn’t promoted on Spotify, etc. The current music industry is somewhat trash, but the music has quite a few gems when you know where and what to look for. Lot of interesting things are happening: new genres forming, genres blending and evolving, etc. We, as humans, didn’t hit our peak musically with the likes of Kraftwerk. Kraftwerk is great, but c’mon dude, there’s more to life and music than German electronic from the 1970’s. Open your mind.
They’re something special. This was kind of the height of the Cold War art bands. Very new, cutting edge and original style. This is what Germans look like when they just chill out and relax. They created such art
You see today's DJ's acting like they are genius, playing with their consoles full of pre-recorded sampled music, But not knowing that this guys, way ahead of time, are The Music!! The Creators of modern sounds played today, they builded this future and paved the way music is done today. Thumbs Up all century and ahead
These guys deserve all the credits, if you like the music or not . No LCDs, no tempotracks or grids, no MIDI, no computer or a mouse, just pure analog synths
@@shanedpain7734 OK, I thought it was descibing something other than a liquid crystal display, what I don't understand is how are LCD''s utilized in the production of electronic music?
I remember cruising around back in the 70s when I was in high school, cranking Kraftwerk on an 8 track player in my car. People didn't know what to think.
Such an original group. They influenced many other important artists such as Afrika Bambaataa and Depeche Mode to mention only a few. My favorites songs: Tour de France, Numbers. Merci Alain.
The influence is way more widespread than just a few notable artists. The whole paradigm of 80s music was defined by them. Think endlessly permutable, simple riffs and clean, minimalist arrangements.
Kraftwerk are one of the most influential groups of all time, and have probably influenced more people than David Bowie. That's saying something considering how many people he's influenced.
I can still remember being an 11 year old kid and hearing this song for the first time when a neighbor who owned this album dropped the needle on it. "You're probably not going to like this" he said. Oh how wrong he was! Thanks neighbor for turning me into a lifelong fan on that fateful day in 1996!
Помню, это наша молодость,Наша эпоха, СССР, наши предпочтения, правда это видео не было тогда представлено трудящимся нашей страны Но сам трэк имел очень большую популярность в среде рабочей молодёжи и студентов, школьников, Спасибо замечательным исполнителям этой песни от всего русского народа, название вот непомню но робот для нашего народа значимая страница в истории русской нации той эпохи, в одном ряду с Пугачевой, Машиной времени , Аркадием Северным, Михаилом Гулько,ВоскресеньемСпейс Бони м Абба и многими дорогими рускому сердцу именами и названиями музыкальных коллективов той замечательной доброй эпохи мира добра и справедливости.
We saw Kraftwerk about 4 years ago, I think, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Took my grand daughter who was 12 at the time, she had never heard of them before. The next day when I got home from work she was watching them on CZcams.
@@digidrum2003 Actually no, Saw this in my recommendation and then remembered my dentist told me to check them out, always felt bad about not doing it, and now I feel much better! Of course, I was always kinda mad at him for not setting my crown right, so I didn't feel too bad about it.
Apr 23, 2020- “Kraftwerk co-founder and electro pioneer Ralf Hütter has sent us the very sad news that his friend and companion over many decades Florian Schneider has passed away from a short cancer disease just a few days after his 73rd birthday,” the band said in a statement. :(
This group was so far ahead of their time, it's ridiculous. Think about it. They were putting out techno at the same time The Captain and Tennille were popular.
i was 10 yrs old when my sister brought home THE MAN MACHINE, and i was in awe of the cover and then the entire album ... !! The are the best band in the world. THE END !! lol
A jazz group like Weather Report made techno/house-style music already in the early 1970s. Their sound was widely copied by pop producers (and sampled by hiphop artists).
At first they were. Once Ralf starts singing, they changed to the humans. If you look closely you can tell the difference between their mannequins and the actual members.
In some videos they actually used robots with their likeness during the performance in ‘The Robots. If you look closely enough, their hair looks like plastic and there seem to be little lights on their neck ties
We had an experimental music class (it only lasted for a few weeks for reasons that will become apparent) which was taught by of all people, our pottery teacher. He was young and hip. He wore narrow leather ties and drove a Volvo P1800. The lessons consisted of listening to Kraftwerk albums and messing around with his EDP Wasp synthesizer. I was hooked instantly. Seeing my interest, he brought in more kit... Space Echo, TR-808 etc. Kraftwerk and a love of synths have been with me ever since. Alas, I can't remember his name.
What you hear is not what you see. The chords that are played on the instrument which Ralf plays are not coming from that instrument. The sound used is a choir probably coming from a Mellotron (or from an instrument which on a number of German records of this period is referred to as "Choir Organ"). The instrument we see is (probably) a MicroMoog, a monophonic synth ....
@@TheHadesAdorned It definitely looks like a Micromoog, and it's entirely possibly he was using it to control a different Moog synth (he's still only holding one note on it at a time). The real question is, what is Florian playing?
i remember listening to kraftwerk when i was a kid. my uncle had the Electric Cafe album. i was OBSESSED. i'm so blessed. this have influenced my musical taste FOREVER.
This evening at 9pm Kraftwerk will perform at Bucharest. Glad to be there again (first time 9 years ago). I'm very happy that Kraftwerk still exists! Love you!
I saw them live recently when they came to Cleveland (first time since about 1981 or so) - it was AWESOME. Effects were in 3-D and it was cool as hell.
Thank you for sharing man. I'm from PORTUGAL and born in 1971 and the first Lp I bought with my own money was computer world( if my mind is not playing tricks) I was 13 or 14 years old! Thank you so much for sharing this!
KRAFTWERK, UNA DE LAS BANDAS MAS GENIALES, CEREBRALES E INFLUYENTES NO SOLO PARA LA ESCENA ELECTRÓNICA SINO TAMBIÉN PARA TODOS AQUELLOS QUE APRECIAMOS LA MÚSICA DE DIFERENTES ANGULOS, ELLOS EN UNA PRESENTACIÓN EN VIVO PARA UNA TV EN 1978 SIMULAN DE MANERA CASI PERFECTA SER AUTÓMATAS DEMOSTRANDO QUE UNA NUEVA ERA ESTA POR COMENZAR Y ,SI, ASI ES, TODO LO MENCIONADO EN SU OBRA ES REALIDAD.
+gaotro racso no me termino de sorprender lo adelantados para su epoca que estaban, estamos hablando del 78, anterior a todo lo conocido actualmente, realmente unos vanguardistas..
Grew up listening to this and I've been inspired ever since to try and be as unique. Absolutely awesome music that needs to be continuously listened to !!!!
I took a moment and realized how bad ass this is, I was 7 when they did this, 7 years later I discovered them and 7 years after that I had rare vinyls that were stolen. It's a good thing I never found the perpatator I would still be in jail.
For perspective this was during the disco era, before punk, before rap, this was the unseen wave in the heart of the musical ocean in its pure form. When the Tsunami got closer to land they called it New Wave music.
As always, the brilliant, minimalist, and understated irony of one of the most influential bands in pop music since they started recording -- from electronic music to dance music to the avant-garde. They sound as good now and fresh as when I first heard them at age 16 in 1976 (that also points to the relative lack of innovation in pop music since then, apart from Eno and those he produced).
@@johnkayoss5422 Not with Karl Bartos and Wolfgang Flur. Was Florian Schneider (may he Rest In Peace) still with Kraftwerk when when you saw them? He left Kraftwerk in November of 2008. The best lineup of Kraftwerk was with Ralf Hutter (founding member), Florian Schneider (co-founder), Karl Bartos and Wolfgang Flur. And yes, 1986. That was the year they released their last studio album 'Electric Cafe'. The music critics gave that album poor reviews. Wolfgang Flur was not on the album. He left before or after the release of 'Electric Cafe'.
Kraftwerk! A perfect example of what Germans look like when they kick their shoes off, relax, and let everyone see their emotional side!

I saw this tour back in 78 or 79 in San Diego at the Fox Theater. good times.
Weltklasse und zeitlos…..Musik aus einer andern Welt….🙏🇩🇪👍
Очень нравится эта композиция.
Brilliant stuff! Kraftwerk influenced new wave pop and modern rap.

they didn't just influence electronic, they basically invented it
Thank you for sharing man. I'm from PORTUGAL and born in 1971 and the first Lp I bought with my own money was computer world( if my mind is not playing tricks) I was 13 or 14 years old!
Thank you so much for sharing this!
Merci' BEAUCOUP Monsieur ALAIN. 😁😁😁😁😁👍👍👍👏👏👏👋👋👋👋
Это гениальные парни
KRAFTWERK, UNA DE LAS BANDAS MAS GENIALES, CEREBRALES E INFLUYENTES NO SOLO PARA LA ESCENA ELECTRÓNICA SINO TAMBIÉN PARA TODOS AQUELLOS QUE APRECIAMOS LA MÚSICA DE DIFERENTES ANGULOS, ELLOS EN UNA PRESENTACIÓN EN VIVO PARA UNA TV EN 1978 SIMULAN DE MANERA CASI PERFECTA SER AUTÓMATAS DEMOSTRANDO QUE UNA NUEVA ERA ESTA POR COMENZAR Y ,SI, ASI ES, TODO LO MENCIONADO EN SU OBRA ES REALIDAD.
+gaotro racso yo pipe the fuck down
+gaotro racso no me termino de sorprender lo adelantados para su epoca que estaban, estamos hablando del 78, anterior a todo lo conocido actualmente, realmente unos vanguardistas..
I don't know Spanish(?) but I understand you.
Grew up listening to this and I've been inspired ever since to try and be as unique. Absolutely awesome music that needs to be continuously listened to !!!!
I took a moment and realized how bad ass this is, I was 7 when they did this, 7 years later I discovered them and 7 years after that I had rare vinyls that were stolen. It's a good thing I never found the perpatator I would still be in jail.
You kill people, mark???
For perspective this was during the disco era, before punk, before rap, this was the unseen wave in the heart of the musical ocean in its pure form. When the Tsunami got closer to land they called it New Wave music.
It was a shock for the Soviet boy. I told my dad - listen, it's the robots singing! )))
Hypnotic - and fabulous!
I was so close minded for years never thought electronica is this old..
Electronica is older than this... Check out silver apples
Delia Derbyshire was doing stuff before this
And years before Derbyshire there was Tom Dissevelt and Kid Baltan.
This music doesn't age
@Peter Rabbit very deep, Sheldon
Крафты - вы всегда охуенны! Ваше творчество параллельно шагало с моей незатейливой жизнью, спасибо вам за это...
As always, the brilliant, minimalist, and understated irony of one of the most influential bands in pop music since they started recording -- from electronic music to dance music to the avant-garde. They sound as good now and fresh as when I first heard them at age 16 in 1976 (that also points to the relative lack of innovation in pop music since then, apart from Eno and those he produced).
The grandfather of electronics have to be the precursor of synthwave! It gives me a cyberpunk vibe!
Now is the time on Schprokets when we dance.

LOL you stole my thunder...that was exactly what I was thinking. "I am excited like a little girl...."
Classic!! The original Innovators of the Techno Sound. 1977 - 1986
86? I saw then in 2008
@@johnkayoss5422 after 1998 concerts became worse worse
@@johnkayoss5422 Not with Karl Bartos and Wolfgang Flur. Was Florian Schneider (may he Rest In Peace) still with Kraftwerk when when you saw them? He left Kraftwerk in November of 2008. The best lineup of Kraftwerk was with Ralf Hutter (founding member), Florian Schneider (co-founder), Karl Bartos and Wolfgang Flur. And yes, 1986. That was the year they released their last studio album 'Electric Cafe'. The music critics gave that album poor reviews. Wolfgang Flur was not on the album. He left before or after the release of 'Electric Cafe'.
