forget Aphex Twin and Autechre! without Kraftwerk, Richard D. James would probably be rolling through the deserts of Iraq in a tank, rather than through the streets of Cornwall, and Booth & Brown would be getting their PhDs in architecture by now. could it not be argued that without Kraftwerk, electronic music as we know it wouldn't have happened? (and for that matter, hip-hop as we know it wouldn't exist either, as Afrika Bambaata sampled Kraftwerk in the seminal rap track 'planet rock') here's an article on the return of the rightful kings of electronic music from the Guardian: |

i had a dream once in which i was invited to the Bush family residence in Texas and got to meet both Georges, Barbara and the whole lot, but throughout, even within the dream, i didn't quite know how to feel about all this, since ideology-wise, i'm as far away from conservative as you can possibly get, but on the other hand it did seem as though it was in some peculiar way an honour of sorts to be introduced to Mr. President and his family. so my question to all of you is: what would you do/how would you react if George Jr. invited you out to his ranch for some beef patties? |

Tell him to shove those beef patties up his ass. |

would kraftwerk have any role, or at least watch this happen? |

Considering New York DJs in the early 80s (most notably Afrika Bambataa's 'Planet Rock') were spinning and manipulating Kraftwerk tunes into their own tracks, plus most Detroit Techno pioneers would indicate Kraftwerk as an influence, I'd wager a big-ass YES! |

Well...nobody denied it for you to be so shrill about it...so yeah, they are Gods. Who said no here that you had to try to shove it down like that ? Anyways...glad you like Kraftwerk...I love them to bits too. :) |

hmmmm... maybe we should ask THEM who their influences are? maybe there is someone on another level even deeper then kraftwerk? (its a rhetorical question :P of course kraftwerk has influences :D) |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|
|
oh yea, just read the book on kraftwerk, they're up front about their influences. still, i'd say kraftwerk are tied with james brown for redefining and reshaping modern music. |

| |||||||||
|
|
what about enO??? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hugely influential but not as much as kraftwerl, james brown, and chuck berry |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lets not forget all those avant pioneers who were experimenting with electronic music while Kraftwerk were still in grade school... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
right but i mean influential on pop music as a whole.. kraftwerk is definitely the forerunner of using synths as more than just augmentation |
||||||||

kraftwerk defenetly loved the beach boys. some even consider "autobahn" beein a hommage to the beach boys .... |
