Big Kraftwerk fan here since the mid-70s!
That black sedan is a lot like mine, only older.
Ever since you posted the link to the video for The Robots, I keep going back to youtube finding gems... I fell asleep a few nights back with Autobahn playing.... Thanks again.
This must be the abridged version. The original was a whole side of the album. I didn’t like Kraftwerk’s “dance” period, “Numbers” gets tiresome quickly.
I actually like it more now than I did then. They were synth pioneers. Seems pretty tame, now.
You...could say that ;)

Some incredible stuff being made now.
One of the Classic and first real good Rap songs “Planet Rock” sampled Trans Europe Express, and to this day is such a trendsetting electro sound that Rap in the 80s tried to keep up till the Crap rap started in the 90s. Kraftwerk are bad ass.

And the other..
They really were one of the groups that deserved the ‘grounbreaking’ term. Love it or hate it, it was something we had never seen before.
Oh I know. Long time buff here ;)
Yes and people rag on Rap, but the 80s was so different. 88-90 was when the Gangsta rap started and changed the whole Genre for the bad. Even though I love NWA.. LOL
My line stops at LL Cool J and RUN-DMC. NWA I just despise for what they represent. It ruined anything they did for me even it it was ‘interesting’. Their immitators just killed any hope they may have had with me as well.
Great stuff!
Ever listen to any works by YMO / Yellow Magic Orchestra?
The first electronic music album I bought. Could you add me to the ping list please?
I agree, and I still love them but I hate them for what they started(NWA) that is. LL and RUN DMC were some of the most innovative at the time. Especially RUN DMC.
Ping me, please. ;)
Man, this takes me back to the late 70’s
Ping to one of your faves.
