oh and i don't like kraftwerk, granted i haven't heard much from them and i agnowledge that they were ahead of their time, but still, technologic sucks ass....

Slovenian band singing in German...interesting...but why, is it a second language?

Not keen on Kraftwerk either adidasss... I'm sure I heard somewhere they were planning on having musical suits made, so they could play their own clothes live on stage!!!

no, it's not a second language, i have no idea why they're singing in german, maybe they wanted to appeal to the german audience?
and that's pretty out there ( kraftwerk)

I think I could listen to just the title song from Trans-Europe Express all day long. It's that good. I could also listen to the whole album all day long as well. I'm having trouble expressing my thoughts today.

Or... in my case, Wir laden unsere Batterie... even should be humming I'm the Operator with my Pocket Calculator as it's the song I'm listening to at the moment.

And that, friends and neighbors, is my first post!

Although it was a different type of Electronica, I have always much preferred TANGERINE DREAM. Kraftwerk's influence should'nt be forgotten though. Afrika Bambataa has stated it as a massive influence, and his influence on U.S electro largely goes un-noticed too.

I listened to Kraftwerk quite a lot as a child... amazing group. Sometimes I forget just how ahead of their time they were because their music sounds so dated now.
