Kraftwerk - Kraftwerk
Florian Schneider was one of the architects of 21st Century music. He died today. 50 years after this was made.
Thank You
WHAT'S THE POINT?
The intention is to promote people who make beautiful music.
The intention is to introduce you to the people who have been carving their own path...with no care for what anybody thinks.
We try not to post things that are still for sale but sometimes post things that are not easily available. If you like what you hear, then find these people and tell them how great they are.
Better still, tell them and then seek out their new releases and buy them. We add links, when they are reliable and active, so that you can keep track if you so wish.
Always go straight to the artist or the label where possible. That way, the money goes straight to the people responsible for this art. These people rely on our support to keep going and make more quality releases!
Please feel free to leave comments as you go along...at least then we know you appreciate this stuff (or otherwise) and you're not just a bunch of freeloading file collectors.
If you made this music and we have pissed you off by posting any of this, please leave a comment in the post and the offending articles will be removed.

All Hail Florian
Hard to think of a man who's had more influence on modern popular music. R.I.P.
A sad day indeed. I was only listening to V-2 Schneider on Monday and I thought about how sad the world is without Mr Jones and now... even more so without Florian.

I am sad
73's not that great an age by modern stds. Shame he went off-grid after jumping ship from the 80s-night self-tribute act that Kraftwerk became - would have been nice to hear him on his own. RIP
TEE was the most complete and perfect expression of the schtick that made the group a crutch for every 'pop culture' writer but this very different debut is my fave of their catalogue.

G'day Fanny ... all true!
Agree this is my favorite of their catalogue. Very sad to see such a legend pass. For anyone who hasn't seen it, there's a great video of early Kraftwerk at around the time of this album (they play Ruckzuck!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNoFHdlMrtI
