    Probably one of the greatest 22 minutes songs ever.

    It’s not often that a band changes music. Kraftwerk did, and were true pioneers.

    RIP fella

    Can listen to them on loop when feeling that way out and often when preparing a case. Find they bring a certain Germanic order to my thought processes and powers of concentration.

    RIP Florian mein herr.

    I've spent a lot of time over the years listening to Kraftwerk records. An awe-inspiring contribution to music and a big loss.

    Never saw them live, never bought any of their albums but there is no question they had a huge influence on music in the 70's and 80's and beyond - Autobahn was one of the most original and significant tracks of the 70's. Sad news

    Computer World was the blueprint for modern techno, alongside early Juan Atkins releases across the pond in Detroit, released about the same time under the name Cybotron. It still gets regular plays at my flat.
