👍😊 It’s the perfect driving music.
The rhythm and the monotony. Very focused and precise!
Florian Schneider from KRAFTWERK has died - RIP
One of my big musical idols has passed. Florian was a founding member of KRAFTWERK and passed about a week ago of cancer, 73 years old. News was released only today. Personally, I am quite saddened by this news. Their music and artwork has has been a pass...
Brian Eno and David Bowie
Yes, they were discovering the Krautrock at the German experimental music scene. Brian like minimal music, so he took it too all the musicians which he produced albums with, for example Cold play and U2. Brian is the best producer. Other greats are Quincy...
Radio Activity
It is an awesome album. Radio Activity is the glue of technology. It is all what makes curious. It is German, and science. 🎼 It’s in the air for u and me 📡
Innovators. Game changers.
Inventing their instruments, changing the notion of what is music and art... I salute you and your fellow Kraftwerkers. Daniel
Ground breaking artist....
I was fortunate enough to see Kraftwerk play live. Absolutely incredible sonic performance. A great loss.
Thanks Christian...
I’ve been playing the vinyl versions of the albums this evening as my tribute.
With the 3D glasses?
I almost go. Otherwise, Ralph Hütter do tour with three other mitarbeiter. Or is Ralph on retirement?
Always in my playlist!
Being another kid of the 70s, grew up listening to them on radio a lot, radioactivity and the model come to mind but I was never able to see them live!
They tour in Japan
Great concert registration of the Japan tour online. Ralph sings in Japanese language. Like Denktatu, Taschenrechner. Fukushima, Stop Radio Activity.
Still have some of their vinyl somewhere...they were great...
...'Even the greatest stars...'
Fahren Fahren auf der Autobahn
I wasn’t a huge fan or so but did like the music back then. May hè rest in piece
It’s both difficult to access and easy, as they had such a talent for writing a pop refrain...
But their style, of course was so special. I admit one has to be in the mood. I had a long drive this morning and listened to “trans Europe a Express”. It is still a master piece 😊

Techno's birth
Sad news to hear that one creator of a new music style has died. "Roboter", such a timeless piece of music.
Florian Schneider, a god in music
No way. I can not belief it. What a lost. My father who brings me into music, and teach me sounds. Florian Schneider is a god. My favorite instrument is a Moog. All credits too Kraftwerk. My other hero, Elvis Presley, was the first who did, bring me into ...
Great Post, Weems. I see we share taste in music very much.
I felt the same when Bowie died as you did. I think it took me a year to believe it. Same with Lou. Unbelievable! Now FS - unbelievable and way too early. A modest and shy man but a musical genius.
Surrealistic
It can not be happen. Immortal. Florian was not a normal human. Immortal. I saw a picture just a few minutes ago. He wear a Cartier Santos, so he was a watch enthusiast too! I want every watch he wear. Coincidence, i like the Santos, so i must have it.
Their music was at the roots of many genres including Rap.
Play list is never far from me. ...
Exactly, Bill.
Bowie and Iggy PoP as well. I have been listening all morning in my car, since I had a meeting far away. It never gets old.
Iggy Pop and David Bowie
David Bowie i listen often in my car, but i like Kraftwerk while driving. It’s no game part 1 from Scary Monsters. When the lady shout words in Japanese, it is a great song. And from Low, i crash always in the same car.
He and the rest of the band were well ahead of their time..
Great talent and part of my growing up phase listening to their genius !
They certainly contributed with a lot of new ideas.
It must have been so outlandish when they first appeared 😉 Thanks for sharing my friend. How all is well with you. HAGWE 😊
