@atlantichouse Remember? Kraftwerk was heavily influenced by the Beach Boys, Psychedelic Rock, Walter/Wendy Carlos ect. All modern dance music has deep deep African American roots that extends way deeper than Kraftwerk. There's nothing about early Kraftwerk that resembles anything of Detroit but i do see the rhythmic influence that comes out of the history of Black music in Detroit Techno, and when i say Detroit Techno i mean Soulful Detroit! not that Soulless Eurodance shit.

@atlantichouse All forms of modern music has strong American/African American roots. Remember Kraftwerk, Giorgio Moroder,Manuel Gottsching, YMO ect  was pioneering but they didn't create in a Vacuum or a Void and they most certainly was influenced by music of Black American origins. Even if on the surface the influences aren't apparent.

@MCVixenVee I totally agree and another thing I noticed being a Detroiter and being naturally drawn to this old techno is how groovy it is. I think this has to do with how huge an influence the Funk Brothers if Motown are as an influence on everyone in the city.

@peezhead nah, mate. You gotta expand your taste in music too. I may hate the state of Hip Hop but you can't just slate the music. If I hated Rock, I would've said "Rock sucks cock" but you don't see me complaining.
