Bullshit! Nobody is doing Kraftwerk songs better than Kraftwerk .
Although I have to admit that the version from Silence + Anne Clark is very good.

muito bom, só isso tenho a falar

Kraftwerk represented like a big just found diamond rock that later on other artists were able to lapidate on and improve it quality.. Even though some musics might sound too dull, it was genius and clearly affected music in a huge way..

@sex6cult9revolution Se non è vero, è bene trovato.

@777Kwyjibo I have a large collection of music (see my classical channel mentioned on my frontpage), I not only see innovation in music, but also, Drama(symphonies) intellect (fugues),beauty(adagio in piano sonatas) and so on...I just think most of Kraftwerk's music is dull, but some of it I like, I'll up load one today, guess what it is.....to me the work I'm gonna upload is beautiful - so Kraftwerk could make music if they wanted to, they were more interested in new electronic-sound ideas.

@ElectronicMusicUK Yeah, Bowie was gifted, have a lot of respect for him, but definitely a culture vulture. He did an R&B album right before the Berlin Trilogy because, guess what?, that was the current hotness. If you can only see "innovation" in the music of bands like Kraftwerk, Cluster, Neu!, and Can, and no musicality, hmm, don't know what to say, you're missing out.

@777Kwyjibo what d'ya mean "culture vulture"? U don't arf talk bollocks mate, he wasn't burn't out, nor was he fortunate to"hook up" with Eno, Bowie by 1974 was a big star, whereas Eno had just left Roxy music in 73 as a nothing group member. Krautrock vibes? What? There's no "vibes" there, Krautrock is boring, the only thing about it is they showed other artists u coiuld do much more by electronic means only - so what? That's innovation, not music. Bowie, musically, is more gifted.

@ElectronicMusicUK Who cares? You do since you bothered to reply. David Bowie was and is a culture vulture who attached himself to whatever popular style was emerging at the time. He was basically burned out by the mid-70's and was fortunate enough to hook up with Brian Eno and soak up the krautrock vibes coming from Germany. He did the same thing in the 90's with his electronica infused albums. I like Bowie, but his popular rock didn't have the kind of influence of Kraftwerk's music did.
-
@777Kwyjibo Who cares, what could Kraftwerk teach Bowie? David Bowie is a giant compared to them, I really don't rate Kraftwerk, good innovators, but the music is dull.
-
@ElectronicMusicUK David Bowie asked Kraftwerk to support him on his Station to Station tour back in the 70's and they were scheduled to record together, but it never happened. Don't know if that qualifies as "hanging out" or not, I suppose it could have been a quick chat. Information taken from the documentary Kraftwerk and the Electronic Revolution (2008). If you doubt the veracity or objectivity of this documentary that's up to you.

Anyone know the story behind this song? Someone told me once that it was inspired by a meltdown that Janis Joplin had, where fueled by drugs she couldn't stand her own image in the mirror and started trying to change her appearance. Supposedly it escalated to her cutting her own face. Anyone ever hear that story or know if it's true?

@sex6cult9revolution: Never heard that story & can't find anything that verifies it. Quoting to Wikipedia: "Hütter and Schneider have described the song as auto-biographical."
