for the uninitiated of kraftwerk: start with computerwelt (computer world) and move backwards in their discog. for most bands it would probably be recommended to start with the first album and then move forward, but kraftwerk were so ridiculously ahead of their time that it's best to start with their most 'commercial' album. |

I hate people who try to claim that Kraftwerk are "European" or even "German". Kraftwerk are a completely American band. They formed in New York in the mid 70's, where the original band members were born and raised in the New Jersey area. In interviews, the members of Kraftwerk have claimed that their trademark 'Electronic' sound originated from the sensation they felt when looking at the Statue of Liberty from the shore, which they described as "making them feel electric with patriotism." They took the name "Kraftwerk" from the popular brand of American processed cheese called 'Kraft American Cheese Slices'. Early on the band also decided to portray themselves as strange east europeans and sometimes pretended to not speak English in order to draw attention to themselves. |

dude their germans from dusseldorf, they didnt randomly make german music from the suburbs of new jersey/york |

They didnt 'randomly' start making 'german' music on the shores of New Jersey, it was all contrived. At that time the best way to market themselves in the east coast market was to pretend to be a group of east european outlanders. Even today they continue with this charade, going as far as conducting full interviews in German and even modifying their wikipedia page to claim they are German and born in Germany. My dad went to George Washington Highschool in New Jersey with two of the members: Tom Henderson aka Ralf Hutter and Ari Silverstein aka Fritz Hilpert. He says that back in highschool they mostly listened to metal and glamrock music and noted they mostly walked around school wearing KISS t-shirts. |

b6662966 would have been funnier (and more correct) if he were better informed of Kraftwerk. |

It would have been funnier if there was a shred of humor in it. |

i like when they recycle that trans europe express sample overtop some deep bass. kraftwerk's most important accomplishment was to provide that sample. |

they should have ended around computer world/electric cafe period, what (by them) after that surpassed what went before? top 10 bands in history imho |
||||||||
|

|
|
I've just been listening to the "green traffic cone" LP. I think it's their second release and it's musique concrete style rather than electronic. Really good stuff. |
