Kraftwerk - Neon Lights / 1978

Kraftwerk - Neon Lights
Genre: Electronic
Style: Synth-pop
Year: 1978

Neon Lights, shimmering neon lights, and at the fall of night, the city is made of light
Only Kraftwerk could produce such a simple but genuine vocal like this to a background of startling robotic music. Proof that there is humanity buried deep inside these electronic machines. This song is one of the six perfect moments that make up the Man Machine album.

Info.:

Is a highly influential electronic music band from Düsseldorf, Germany.

Kraftwerk were formed in 1970 by Florian Schneider (flutes, synthesisers, electro-violin) and Ralf Hütter (electronic organ, synthesisers). The two had met as students at the Düsseldorf Conservatory in the late 1960s, participating in the German experimental music scene of the time, which the British music press dubbed "Krautrock".

The duo had originally performed together in a quintet known as Organisation.This ensemble released one album, titled Tone Float (issued on RCA Records in the UK)but the group split shortly thereafter. Early Kraftwerk line-ups from 1970 1974 fluctuated, as Hütter and Schneider worked with around a half-dozen other musicians over the course of recording three albums and sporadic live appearances; most notably guitarist Michael Rother and drummer Klaus Dinger, who left to form Neu!.

The input, expertise, and influence of producer/engineer Konrad "Conny" Plank was highly significant in the early years of Kraftwerk and Plank also worked with many of the other leading German electronic acts of the period, including members of Can, Neu!, Cluster and Harmonia. As a result of his work with Kraftwerk, Plank's studio near Cologne became one of the most sought-after studios in the late 1970s.
