The band was founded by Florian Schneider and Ralf Hütter in 1970, but became widely known as a quartet consisting of Wolfgang Flür and Karl Bartos alongside the founding members.
Another notable example of eccentric behaviour was reported by Johnny Marr of The Smiths, who, in trying to contact the band for collaboration, was told that their studio telephone did not have a ringtone, as during recording the band did not like to hear any kind of dissonant noise.
Ralf had wanted to play more shows over the years, but the undertaking of shipping all their huge, analog equipment hindered world tours and travel outside of Europe.

In the future, it might be possible to fashion entire, flawlessly operational artificial limbs and organs for babies with birth defects or victims of disease or major accidents.
These people might indeed be halb Wesen und halb Ding, and the quality of their lives would be attributable exclusively to technology.
Flensburg und das BKA [Bundeskanzleramt] haben unsere Daten da" sings Hütter in a low-key, contemplative tone, later changing "Flensburg" to "Finanzamt" (0:00-0:36).

 Jungle World 48/1999 :Wolfgang Flür über Kraftwerk
Hätte ich dies gewollt und alles ausgepackt, wären noch mindestens 900 Seiten dazugekommen, und die hätten dann wirklich am Mythos gekratzt." Leider hat der Autor mit dem ersten Teil seiner Aussage nur allzu Recht.
Hier und dort wird ein bisschen schmutzige Wäsche im Schongang gewaschen oder werden sensationell langweilige Interna ausgeplaudert, die jeder, der interessiert war, größtenteils schon in Pascal Bussys "Kraftwerk"-Geschichte von 1993 nachlesen konnte.
Müssen sich Ralf und Florian erst in ihrer gewohnt elitären Art noch einige Male mehr abfällig über den kleinen Wolfgang äußern, bevor der die richtig fiesen Storys auspackt, oder soll man bezweifeln, dass es solche überhaupt gibt?

The LP is totally instrumental and Ralf is credited with rhythmusmashine (rhythm machine) as well as a host of other instruments.

Kraftwerk's first couple of albums as a duo (Kraftwerk, Kraftwerk 2, and Ralf und Florian) are nowadays all but disavowed by the band's founders and still-leaders, Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider.
These releases show a very different side than the later releases that have since become the sacred cow currency of alternative popular music criticism.

Kraftwerk head to Paris for their first foreign gigs alongside Tangerine Dream and others at a festival organized by Actuel magazine, who cheerfully describe the group as "night creatures, vampires maybe." They perform in near total darkness backed by creepy projections.
Their third album, Ralf und Florian, named after themselves, mixes sequencers, rhythms and electronic noises to back up their free-form piano, harpsichord and flute instrumentals.

Ignore the cliched sampling effects and focus on the songs, which are pretty interesting and well-put together.
The first is "interesting", the second is extremely minimal (a typical track consists of an electric guitar being strummed and run through and echo device).
The rest of the tracks from that album are instrumental sketches, somewhat more accomplished than the ones on Ralf und Florian.
