Kraftwerk are true pioneers. But everytime a new synthesis method came out depeche mode mastered it. whereas kraftwerk,human league etc did not. Depeche Mode are the most prolific synth band if not the most pioneering.
kraftwerk were one of the first to use the new technology that was released creatively and produce albums but they werent and are not the kings of techno.. or the pioneers, as far as im concerned..
dont get me wrong - i like kraftwerks music just as much as anything else.. but human beings have rhythm given the notes and the keyboards, kraftwerk did not invent MELODY, and RHYTHM. These things have been around forever.. the only thing new back then was the toys.. and the technology.
well you're just badly informed chrisnova because kraftwerk were calling it techno before anyone else and they were the first to make full synthetic techno tracks like kometenmelodie 2 and kristalo in 1973. no one else did that earlier. it's cear you have a lot of jealousy about europeans because your gorilla chimps couldn't originate what the euros did.
funk? not quite. kraftwerk were doing "kemetenmelodie 2, and "kristallo" in 73. those are purely synthetic electronic beats. their music had absolutely nothing to do with "funk" bullshit. kraftwerk were heavilly influenced by outerspace themed music of the 50s and 60s. they even liked the beach boys. it was pure synthetic techno. they even coined the term on their technopop record.
Nearly every electronic act was borrowing from kraftwerk, NOT funk. Take a look at the human league bios. They were in love with kraftwerk. Yes, all 70's electronic acts of course, who is saying different?
The kids that were too young and innocent for the punk rock shows embraced DM. Hard to believe they've continued to sell arenas and ampitheaters out and be considered "classic".

Would be nice if the audio were from the gig, rather than straight off the record.
