Virtually all techno and disco was influenced by Kraftwerk and/or Jean Michel Jarre. They brought synthesizers into the mainstream.

Huh. I thought the Beatles, the Who, ELP and Yes had a hand in that.
“Virtually all techno and disco”
And what doe’s virtually all “techno and disco” have in common?
Digital sampling, no real musicians to speak of just
ADAT, computers, turntables and what keyboards they have
are just triggers for sampled wave patterns. It’s like how
alternative music got it’s name, from alternate tuning.
They tune their guitars to open E and play with one finger.
“only two albums of new material since 1981s Computer World

I hate them already.
