Thoughts on Kraftwerk

Do you like 'em or loath them? Or ... indifferent?

This is such an interesting concert. Trippy stuff.

I really appreciate their work. My favourite is probably Radioactivity. Sounds pretty fresh by today standards.

Weird electronic noise. Makes my head hurt always when I try to listen to a Kraftwerk song for more than 2 minutes

Kraftwerk invented techno in 1970.

Amazing band.

My favourite is The Man Machine, followed by Computer World.

Radio Activity is great too though, of course.

I should listen to those ones. I'm not that familiar with their work, to be honest.

This live version of Radioactivity is amazing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EBTn_3DBYo

Any of you fans of the Japanese trio "Yellow Magic Orchestra"? They're kind of considered to be Japan's equivalent to Kraftwerk :)

Amazing band, saw them "live" a couple of years back. Especially a big fan of the Trans Europa Express album. The original German version of course! :-D

Totally dig Kraftwerk. There's some great performance videos of them on YT from '78-81 that make you realise they have a huge sense of humour which might be missing if you just know a few tunes. Once you 'get it', you get it.

I wish they'd released more albums.
