Re: Kraftwerk
That is 'The Robots' (no 'we are'). The music is fantastic, and they
have at least three albums that I know of. The first album is called
'Autobahn', and was made when they (Kraftwerk) could barely speak English,
and it was done by phonemes. If you listen to this, and 'The Man Machine'
(their second album), with a really good pair of headphones, you would
understand how totally electronic music can replace conventional instruments
and instrumentation.
As a happy coincidence, Kraftwerk's music is both pleasurable to
listen to (they are my vote for music to code by) and easily danceable, so to
speak. That is why it is a mistake to make their music to disco, but I am
sure that Kraftwerk is quite willing to expand their American audience.
