		Kraftwerk are a German musical group that were influential in the evolution of modern electronic music.
		Kraftwerk opened wide a wonderous world of musical pleasure for me. Unfortunately they don't release new material often enough to satisfy my cravings, and so I must take refuge in locating other music that is similar.
		Kraftwerk is one of the most-sampled groups, and I make a point of noting songs that directly use Kraftwerk samples.

		After all, Kraftwerk are one of the few bands in history who genuinely bear comparison to the Beatles.
		Kraftwerk were so far ahead of their time that the rest of the world has spent 25 years inventing new musical genres in anattempt to catch up.
		Less troublingly, someone once solemnly swore to me that the Düsseldorf accent in which Kraftwerk sing was a Teutonic equivalent of the Brummie drawl, which would certainly add a whole new layer of humour to their deadpan lyrics: "Oi prowgramme me howme compewter, bring meself into the fewcher" etc.

	Kraftwerk
		Kraftwerk's 1970 debut album Kraftwerk 1 really scratched the surface, but it was the 1974 single "Autobahn" from the album of the same name that got heads looking their way (by this time, important members Wolfgang Flur and Klaus Roeder joined the duo).
		During Kraftwerk's beginning stages, their music was known as "techno" (which the band used for a while) or "robot pop".
		The secret to Kraftwerk's sound lies in their inspirations from classical composer Karlheinz Stockhausen, rock outfits Tangerine Dream and The Beach Boys, and the influence of Art Deco (a major style/decorative art movement in Europe from the 1920s that particularly affected architechture).

	Thaemlitz: Die Roboter Rubato
		Kraftwerk's German titles and lyrics are referenced in this text, with literal English translations of lyrics replacing the lyrics found in their English releases, under the self-critical and admittedly cynical pretense of identifying origin.
		Kraftwerk shows that even within a world of global communication technologies, an understanding of non-universality and contextualization is required for dialogue to occur.
		Kraftwerk's stance is overly symptomatic of traditional Western Patriarchal and Hetero-normative concepts of technology: machines function as heroic extensions of Masculinity which allow patriarchal societies to dominate Mother Nature.

	The History of Rock Music. Kraftwerk: biography, discography, reviews, links
		Kraftwerk influenced two separate (and often conflicting) groups of musicians: the hyper-abstract noise-makers and the hyper-hedonistic dance-pop crowd.
		Each suite on Kraftwerk (1970) and Kraftwerk 2 (1971), which introduced the drum-machine (replacing Klaus Dinger) and probably remains their futuristic masterpiece (Kling Klang), was a dramatic, powerful and harrowing fresco, worthy of abstract painting, of Morton Subotnick's electronic dadaism, of surrealist poetry, but with the emphasis on the "man machine".
		I Kraftwerk hanno influenzato due diversi (e spesso conflittuali) gruppi di musicisti: i rumoristi iper-astratti e i più edonistici compositori di dance-pop.

	KRAFTWERK - Minimum Maximum
		Anyone who has been fortunate enough to witness a Kraftwerk show over the past two years cannot fail to have been impressed by the seamless mix of sound and visuals that has accompanied their starkly futuristic, peerless collection of songs.
		Kraftwerk has always had a much overlooked tongue-in-cheek element to their music, but this is unashamed psychosis – and totally inspired; nobody but nobody makes electronic music as cool as this.
		With Minimum-Maximum, Kraftwerk give the most entertaining history lesson around; not only are Kraftwerk the imperial, trendsetting Gods of all electronic music, but in 2005 - you'll be pleased to know - they still rule.

		Kraftwerk were among the first in the genre, and "The Mix" is a nice, updated take on some of their most beloved classics, including "Home Computer" and "The Robots".
		It was a delight to see Kraftwerk make a rare West Coast appearance at the Paramount Theater in Seattle in 2004, during which they showcased several of these classics in their "Mixed" form.

	KRAFTWERK Trans-Europe Express (Trans-Europa Express) reviews and MP3
		Anyway, this track’s most notable features are the clever use of hypnotic synth sequences and the recurring footstep-sounding percussives: the former portray the circular prison of narcissism, while the latter add a “thriller” element to the fold, showing how dreadful the main character’s impending fate is. Effective sinister stuff wrapped in an electronic minimalistic cover.
		Kraftwerk albums take you on a journey, and going back on the journey is never a chore.
		The Kraftwerk are German and in Germany the trains are one of the cultural means of transportation more mattering.
