I'm sure this has been said here already but the Daft Punk Alive tour definitely was inspired by this intro for their "robot rock" song. It's very similar. I'm surprised this kind of sound was around in the late 70's. Pretty cool stuff
I love this group, I bought their first album with this song on it back in the late 60's or early 70's..and yes they were the first for tech music that I ever hear of beside Pink Floyd..Great Stuff!!!!!! I'm surprise to see over 2 million view this so far!!!
Que gusto me da saber que tanta gente ve y comenta estos videos de los fundadores de la música electrónica. Tengo la suerte de tener el primer disco de ellos de venta en Perú, y está impecable ese disco de vinilo. Kraftwerk ... la maravilla de músicos!
im 45 years old now, when i was a young boy, the radio station in prince george,bc used to play a part of this song in a winter ski add ..this song has been around for a long time. I still like it and always will i guess.
This is so much more than a musical masterpiece. It celebrates how the Autobahn or Motorway opened up the country (eg @2.58) to many ordinary folk and could enjoy the open road, without risk of people walking around etc. (before roads got clogged up of course! :-)) A brilliant track.
For all the persons who don't know how light works.
They appeared because they where lit with the same kind of blue light. When those lights turned off the blue of screen behind Kraftwerk gave them personal shadows making them unknown. Of who they are in specific.
Although we know German's have no style, charisma or rythem - this is good to listen to when driving across EuropeVille in the early hour's - sometimes !!!
The seed of techno >from the eighties< and yes, it was German. It's weird, but it sounds as compelling today (live!) as it did when it made cool Canadian youth look twice back then.
This is the seed of all tekno? :) sounds like some really trippy kid's music. We're driving driving driving on the Autobahn! We're driving driving driving on the Autobahn!
Actually yes. This technology is called 'subjektbezogene Entvisualisierungsmaßnahme' and was invented for disguise quite early in the 1940s I think. But due to a weak economy aso it wasn't perfectioned before 1945, so we lost the war....
@writingstoner It's a simple edit. Before they appear on the stage, look at the heads of the audience and you'll notice that they're not moving. As soon as Kraftwerk "appears" the audience suddenly starts moving.
Where so much electronic / synth / hip hop / modern pop started. But hey, the youth of today think they invented music, sex, drug taking etc.. What they don't realise is without the likes of these guys, music wouldn't have progressed. And without their mum being dirtier then the day is long, their dad being a sex pest, and both of them f**ked on drugs, THEY wouldn't be here!
Von Frankreich nach Deutschland : Ich bin Bassist in einer kleinen Gruppe von Musik in Frankreich und die Musik , den Stil von Kraftwerk : Das inspiriert mich, meine Songs zu komponieren ! Diese Gruppe hat eine Art zu tun und zu sehen, was der Zement meiner Produktionen ist erfunden!
PS: Es tut mir leid , wenn der Text ist unverständlich , ich gebe zu ich einen Übersetzer !
To Likers: Yes, Kraftwerk is a good band, but Kraftwek didn't influence everything.
To Haters: This music is "gay"? One of you has a video named "SKEPTA - TRANSVESTITE MANDEM IN DISGUISE". You don't really have room to talk.
By the way, I like Kraftwerk. Not every song, but whatever. I still like them better than what they play on the radios these days. (Yes, I actually listen to mainstream music, so I feel confident saying this.)
Simply brilliant engineering. Vorsprung durch technik! I remember a record shop dude introducing me to the LP and hearing this for the first time. Tho amathing!
mediales kunstwerk. unuebertroffen bis dato. nicht zu uebertreffen eingedenk der studiotechnik seinerzeit. monumental. zeitgeschichte. einzig mögliche steigerung: leichte wahrnehmbarkeit des hintergrundrauschens des becker-mexico-cassetenspielers beim geniessen des säuselnden V8 des 350 SEL 6 komma 3, eleganz, geruch, fahrkomfort und der faehigkeit, jedem 911er fahrer schreckenszuege ins gesicht zu blasen durch die verwirbelungen beim überholen autobahn.
