pre Kraftwerk 1970 tone float

actually operating under the name 'Organisation', an interesting insight in the groups development: from psychedelik to eventually elektronic to traces what Kraftwerk would/could become down the road

@InSearchOfSound - u said '' break beats aka "funky drummer" have been around for centuries'' -- so - give me the source THAT U HEARD - that sounds like this track. SIMPLE. u then cont wid '' in fact there are ancient military cadences that sound very much like break beats'' OK NOW - POST HERE WOT U HEARD - MAKE SURE THE FOOTAGE IS prior to 1969.

You will never find anyone wid more drum ridim patterns than an African. The guy in this video is hitting drums of african origin not german

@mallcolmx hey you...can you not read? a beat is either straight or its got a break. these rhythmic patterns are found in nature and pre-date human history. when your heart skips a beat it is "breaking" its normal bump bump bump bump pattern.

as for the drum, what kind of drum? percussion instruments can be anything, from something as advanced as a drum machine to something as simple as a stick and a piece of wood.

@InSearchOfSound - So let me get this right - Funk music and those drum patterns used on Funky Drummer didn't start wid James Brown and clive stubberfield but wid '' ancient military cadences'' -- can u source me some footage or material please of those tracks u r referring too.

Just out of curiosity - can u tell me- which country- did the drum originate from ?

@mallcolmx  break beats aka "funky drummer" have been around for centuries. in fact there are ancient military cadences that sound very much like break beats. as good as he is, it didn't start with james brown.

[stomachlining]

almost sounding more like CAN

[xraycortina]

@ejektro Good point. But who did influence Kraftwerk?

[7OLGA7]

I love this kind of montage! And the track is great! I miss these years and moments!

Here's an interesting factor: If it had not been for German music like Kraftwerk, There would be no AfrikaBambaata doing(Planet Rock) , from Planet Patrol - the Soul Sonic Force, African American groups that made history with this song in the early 80's. But they almost got their asses sued for it because they didn't think Germam folk would ever listen to black music. Arthur Baker seemed to have been quite confident for this reason. What German listens to black music? They won't know..
