    Kraftwerk, the most influential musicband in History of rock, pop, hiphop and electronic musik.

    • @MrDrageno
      @MrDrageno 4 роки тому +9

      Beatles are up there too, but I agree that Kraftwerk and Beatles are probably the two singlehandedly most influential bands in modern music. They basically created new ways to present and make music and make it more accessible at the same time (beatles Drummer+Bass+Guirtarist(s)+Singer was revolutionary simple set up just like Kraftwerks sole reliance on ultimately fairly handy and easy to use synthezisers essentially allowing everyone to make music). These two bands have shaped modern culture more than people might know and music would definitively look very different today without them.

    Radioactivity was released in 1975. Kraftwerk are called The Godfathers of Techno and built their synthesizers themselves, simply bc there wasn't much available yet, except for the Moog, the Odyssey. The OB-X didn't come out until 1979.
    Fun fact: as the first synthesizers were mostly popular with rock musicians like Brian Eno, Pink Floyd, the first albums from Kraftwerk were actually experimental rock!!!

    Kraftwerk is not the only but definitely the heaviest influencer of EDM. They started out in the 60's as a rock band experimenting with weird music machines that came to replace all their conventional instruments and they were completely unique until the 80's when electronic instruments became more common and their fans started bringing their sound into their own stuff. They became an international phenomena in the early 70's when David Bowie discovered them.
    These guys built ther own instruments before there were anything like it on the market and influenced both what synths sounded like and what electronic music sounded like.
    What makes Kraftwerk unique among the handful of other godfathers of modern electronic music is that unlike the others they created a new music format for their machines rather than making electronic versions of existing genres like classical or disco music. It makes them the daddy of electronica; the guys that made electronic music its own thing.

    Kraftwerk was a very unique group and one of the first forerunners of the newly created electronic sounds that became possible since Moog built the first synthesizer. Another German group of the day was Tangerine Dream who had a complete different approach, in the 70's they had great albums like "Ricochet", "Stratosfear", "Live in America" with the hit "Coldwater Canyon", among others.
    Klaus Schultze was another guy who in those days experimented with electronic sounds. But one of the most popular was the French musician Jean Michel Jarre whose most iconic work was "Oxygen". You can savely say that the electronic sound was invented and further developed first in Europe, not in America.

  • @commanderkruge

    You need to check out the original version from 1975. They added the "radioactivity is bad"-angle later, originally it was more a play on words: Radioactivity - radio activity (the whole album featured songs about airwaves, radiowaves, nuclear power and so forth, it definitely was a concept album) and treated nuclear power more neutral.

    I guess you could call it EDM of 1970s to the extent, they themselves called it electropop and were obviously extremely influencial to all electronic music genres and subgenres, pop music, industrial (anti)music, hip-hop, but also post-punk genres and so on and on; some critics consider them as the most influencial group in pop music history. They pushed the electronic music from academic (try listening to Karlheinz Stockhausen) to popular circles. Originally hailing from the genre called krautrock Kraftwerk members before starting the group in 1970 recorded an album in this style titled "Tone Float" as Organization. The first 3 K albums are almost purely experimental with 4th one being what is considered a classic Kraftwerk style: "Autobahn" from 1974. "Radioactivity" (or "Radio-Aktivität" - their albums have german and english language versions, I prefer german versions, although "Radioactivity" sounds better in english imo; the newer "Catalogue" version with japanese lyrics and references to Fukushima is still even better imo) from 1975 is considered to be their last experimental record, originally using a wordplay (and soundplay) on the themes of radio and radiowaves throughout the whole album (I recommend listening to it just for yourselves, both german and english versions preferably). This and "Trans Europa Express" (1977) are my favorite albums by them btw. And further btw: the part after the first singing part (beeping sounds) are the lyrics "sung" in morse code, really cool idea imo.
    And even further btw - this particular live that you've reacted to was recorded in Warsaw, Poland in 2004 and it was my 1st Kraftwerk show I've been to, the 2nd one was in 2008 and remains my 2nd favorite live I've ever been to.

    • @MrDrageno
      @MrDrageno 4 роки тому +1

      ^ pretty much this. Beatles are really the only ones you could bring into the discussion over who is the most influential music band of modern history. Really cant be overstated that Kraftwerk basically made electronic music a thing for the wider audience and were hugely influential for early techno (especially house) and early hip hop aswell. When I remember correctly the first hip-hop chart success was based on a "Trans-Europe-Express" sample which essentially laid the foundation of how hip-hop would be made in it's beginning. Also has to be mentioned that Kraftwerk were the first ones to not "sing" at least not in a classical sense as you may noticed their singing is usually devoid of all emotion, more of a spoken word kind of style which arguably laid the groundwork for non-singing genres of music like hip-hop to get accepted.

    Kraftwerk is a german band.
    Kraftwerk means power plant.
    Then let's talk about german power plants.
    After the Fukushima accident, Germany closed its nuclear power plants under political pressure from the ecologists who were part of the ruling coalition. But many coal-fired power plants had to be reopened. Since France is downwind from Germany, it has had to suffer serious health consequences.
    Pollution from coal-fired power plants is seriously affecting the health of children and the elderly in France. The fine particles emitted by these plants, particularly PM 2.5, are particularly dangerous. They penetrate deep into the respiratory system, increasing the risk of respiratory and cardiovascular disease. Children, with their developing respiratory systems, and the elderly, already vulnerable, are most at risk.
    Pollution from German coal-fired power plants has a significant impact on health in France. In 2013, it caused around 490 premature deaths in France. The fine particles emitted by these plants cross borders and are responsible for respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. In France, of the 1,380 premature deaths linked to pollution from European coal-fired power plants, the majority are attributed to German and Polish plants.
    This health risk did not previously exist with German nuclear power plants.
    German political alliances to retain power by pandering to ideologues are killing people beyond the country's borders. But the environmentalists got what they wanted, so it doesn't matter.
    Meanwhile, they sing.
