Hey kids, I have put this video together because I was tired of explaining why Kraftwerk are often called the godfathers of electronic music
Now I leave the talking to Phil Oakey, Human League, hip hop legends Afrika Bambaataa of the Zulu Nation and Grandmaster Flash,TV interviews with Stockhausen, Bjork, Jean-Luc de Meyer, Front 242, Andy Mc Cluskey, OMD, Komputer, Karl Hyde, Underworld, Johnny Marr, The Smiths, Detroit Techno DJs Derrick May, Blake Baxter, Carl Craig, Kenny Larkin. Nice snippets of Andy Fletcher, Depeche Mode, George Clinton, Wolfgang Fluer, Egypt Lover
nooo nooo nooo kraftwerk was not the first to do electronic beats and minimal music go and listern to the band who found kraftwerk and put them on a platform,,tanerine dream aka kraut rock allso,a band called can ,or harmonka before that was tonto"s exspanding headband,1969 ,,the united states of america and white niose 1967,
Kraftwerk were totally original………I HATE IT ……..when people STEAL other peoples music……. sampling?? WHATEVER! Create your own shit man! Or…..give artists CREDIT! Kraftwerk started hip hop ..at least the music part. and they also were some of the first artists to do RAP in the early 70s!!!!! They actually helped the new black sound of hip hop with their own brand of electronic beats!
Bambaataa just copied Kraftwerk. Unlike today, where Hiphop is extremely creative, then it wasn't musically. But the lyrics brought Hiphop where it is today. Techno was always without lyrics.
Nope. The Grateful Dead produced Electronic Techno in 1966. Listen the Acid Test reels. Kraftwerk built on those electric sounds. Listen to Iron Butterfly, Inna Gada Da Vida, if you want to hear the first four on the floor house beats. The Iron Butterfly drum solo is the real birth of House music on wax in 1968.
Cuando los fanaticos de Krafwerk dicen que son los padres de la Electronica aparece Tom Dissevelt con Vibration 1958, cuado dicen Krafwerk son los pioneros en hacer techno en 1970 aparece Gershon Kigsleys un año antes con su Popcorn y años atrás Delia Derbyshire con Dr Whoo, cuando por fin en el 75 dicen son lo maximo en electronica aparece Giorgio Moroder con su sonido HI-NRG
Kraftwerk are the godfathers of techno. Egyptian composer Halim El-Dabh is the godfather of electronic music. KH Stockhausen is the father of electronic music.
Oh you silly ignorant reactionary people … Peter Zinovieff and Delia Derbyshire were the first Pioneers of Electric music … do some research and get the facts!!!
Edgar Varese is who I consider the one who birthed electronic music, but kraftwerk is responsible for shaping it and really doing something with the limited base Varese built in the 30s
Amerrycains talking of their apparent root of EDM, speaking – as ever – in the most demeaning, and piss-taking forms. The Europeans invented it – although the Telharmonium was completely American in 1896… How did it take so long..?
Gershon Kingsley ( popcorn) 1969,
Raymond scott ( electronium) 1959
Hip hop origins = funk,soul,jazz,
House origins = disco,soul,boogie,

I remember Kraftwerk so heavy in hip hop back in the day….the breaks were so easy to use in just about any mix
so many legends on 1 video,
also, when Derrick May speaks, you shut up and listen.
So cool to see other Black people who fw Kraftwerk

Afrika Bambaataa is a thief.
BLAX stole from them.
Kraftwerk ? LOL 🙂 Do you wAnt to drop some more
kraftwerk did alot to change music into something new
i mean..they actually build electro drum machines and some of them got patents for it
Kraftwerk is good . But I think DEVO is better. That's my opinion.
Numbers. Nothing else remotely close.
The Maneheim Steam made computer type Christmas music.
One of my favorite groups. My all time favorite songs The Model, Neon Lights and Vitamin.
Legends
Legends…Kraftwerk for life!
The most influential German band of all time and the most influential banfd of 70's and 80's.
Electric Legends.

If anyone says that the Beatles is the most influential band of all time, s/he is WRONG, period. RIP, Florian! Peace.
modern hip hop is based on their work end of story

Trans Europe Express was HEAVILYinfluenced by James Brown's "The Big Payback". It needs to be mentioned and acknowledged.
THE BEATLES OF THE SYNTHESIZERS…
