- Hey kids, I have put this video together because I was tired of explaining why Kraftwerk are often called the godfathers of electronic music
Now I leave the talking to Phil Oakey, Human League, hip hop legends Afrika Bambaataa of the Zulu Nation and Grandmaster Flash,TV interviews with Stockhausen, Bjork, Jean-Luc de Meyer, Front 242, Andy Mc Cluskey, OMD, Komputer, Karl Hyde, Underworld, Johnny Marr, The Smiths, Detroit Techno DJs Derrick May, Blake Baxter, Carl Craig, Kenny Larkin. Nice snippets of Andy Fletcher, Depeche Mode, George Clinton, Wolfgang Fluer, Egypt Lover

Everyone always forgets radio-activity... It was always one of my favourites
Yeah! I noticed that no-one mentioned it. It might not be an album full of classics, but the title Radioactivity, Radioland, The Voice of Energy and Uranium are just fantastic.
Used it in my science fair in the 70s, , freaked everyone out... haha... props to Kraftwerk.
What a great song... i definitely never forgot it... in fact, I consider it possibly top 5 Kraftwerk... gotta say though, the fella mentions it but few do: Man Machine... that hook... very encouraging so many people still appreciate these guys!
Ohm Sweet Ohm is one of the best songs I've ever heard.
@@jan_Travis Anthene is better.
Like hip-hop... but better...
Like music!.. but better... like all the music from Kraftwerk!
This sounds so true today RIP Florian
they are and will always be the godfathers of Electronic Music
Incorrect that would be lee"scratch"perry
@@100jenaboo Here we go with trying to put blk ahead of everything. gtfoh with that BS.
If anyone says that the Beatles is the most influential band of all time, s/he is WRONG, period. RIP, Florian! Peace.
It depends on genre
Idk if kw is *more* influential than the beatles, they're definitely as influential though
@@mobius273 they are DEFINITELY more influential, there's synth melodies like kraftwerks in so many songs of so many genres, not to mention their influence on electro which influenced hip hop, the biggest genre of today.
"Funky White Boys" = Kraftwerk
@FIGHTFANNERD9 certainly not reggae
Black boys perspective
I love how they showed Wolfgang Fleur as one of the people who sampled Kraftwerk
When he was a member of Kraftwerk, and helped make Autobahn, Radio-Activity, Trans-Europe Express, The Man-Machine, Computer World, and Electric Cafe
@PurelyAfrican You remember them too, OMG!
the freakiest shot is seeing wolfgang flür and GOERGE CLINTON sitting there together...that freaked me out!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Damn Straight!!! Kraftwerk is the Godfather of techno everything. What you hear today, Daftpunk,Black eyed Peas, all hip hop bands owe their careers to Kraftwerk.
+Ricovali Quite. And even most non-electro-bands now use studio technology KW spearheaded. They were that influential. :)
Ricovali blackeyed...daftpunk...WHAT!?! if Detroit says they are the first...and they are...maybe not the first...underground ,kraft rock, and them...
"Funky white boys from Germany" always makes me laugh
Yeah. .Bambaataa
Why you say that? Where would techno/edm be without Kraftwerk?
Ja mein Bruder
Without Kraftwerk there’d be no techno... this hip hop shit has nothing musical about
Funky they were.
From synthpop to hiphop to EBM to techno... everything it`s Kraftwerk 🤖💙🤖💛👾
It's EDM not EBM.
@@lydellflood8818 Kraftwerk is in EBM, IDM and EDM. Maybe you don't know who Jean-Luc De Meyer and Front 242 are... one of the pioneers of EBM!
ua-cam.com/video/n4z5VmOIYu8/v-deo.html
@@lydellflood8818 EBM : front 242, Nitzer Ebb, Front Line Assembly
etc........
@@lydellflood8818 Electric Body Music is a genre thats existed for several decades. It was the precursor to industrial and heavier darker electronic music. EDM as a catch all that morphed into a term mostly meaning mainstream electronic music and less about house techno industrial etc
It's really something to see Karlheinz Stockhausen, another pioneer in electronic music, giving Kraftwerk their props.
retrofan42 de hecho fue el y Varese uno de los primeros.
Luego llegaron Jean Jacques Perrey, Gerry Kingsley, Wendy Carlos y despues Kraftwerk
Bjork nails it with Kraftwerk doing electronic that is also "very warm", the 1st todo so, a few have done since..
Kraftwerk - Godfathers of Electronic
justice or daft punk would never exist without them!
love this band, god fathers electronic music
modern hip hop is based on their work end of story
Finally someone said it
The most influential German band of all time and the most influential banfd of 70's and 80's.
wow takes me back. i recall buying computer world in hmv oxford street on import and then the amazement when playing it at home.
Africa bambaattaa in the Egyptian lover kept it coming
I love the short clip with Philip Oakey
number's was the bomb it woke me up at 300 am on the radio one winter night I believe it was 1983 or 1982 I can't remember now DJ mighty master cee
I learned how to pop lock to Numbers! I was 12yrs old. To this day Kraftwerk's beats are still sampled. Farfignugin! LOLOLO!
THE BEATLES OF THE SYNTHESIZERS...
Huge contribution to hip hop
Kraftwerk = Timeless ❤️
Electric Legends.
Astonishing their influence - many thanks
Kraftwerk are the fathers of Techno, that's how I've refered to them for 25+ years = Brilliant
Techno is not the right word
@@abelmontalvo4052 techno in the context of music is electronic dance music - father means that which gives birth to - so when I say fathers of techno I mean that those who produce techno music would not be doing so without Kraftwerk - that said it’s just my opinion - if you have another one that’s cool but techno is the correct word
One of my favorite groups. My all time favorite songs The Model, Neon Lights and Vitamin.
Well put. In the 70s/80s so many things started moving at the same time - it was a fascinating era for modern music, even more so when you now look back to it from today.
Wolfgang's Biography "I was a Robot" talks about this time a lot and it becomes clear that, indeed, the inspirations weren't just moving on a one-way-track, but all over the place.
We lived in interesting times for sure. :D
Great video. Respect!
Love Kraftwerk - amazing stuff!
i got autobahn vinyl out my dads record collection and used to scratch with the crazy synths oops! glad i bought proper battle records or that album would b proper mashed up now,, got tour de france to wat a track !!
Legends
They did not invent "electronic music" in a very strict sense of making musical sounds out of eletronic equipment, but they've defined it as an aesthetic genre in itself.
Karls Stockhausen and other experimenters may have been even more of pioneers in the usage of electronic apparel but was Kraftwerk the igniters of a revolution.
Their influence on hiphop and house, anything that came out in the 80's was heavily influenced by kraftwerk. They don't get the credit they deserve
7.45 The great T-shirt with "Tour Der France"!
Very interesting , thank you for posting this.
Long live to the new flesh !
EXCELLENT thanx
Cuando los fanaticos de Krafwerk dicen que son los padres de la Electronica aparece Tom Dissevelt con Vibration 1958, cuado dicen Krafwerk son los pioneros en hacer techno en 1970 aparece Gershon Kigsleys un año antes con su Popcorn y años atrás Delia Derbyshire con Dr Whoo, cuando por fin en el 75 dicen son lo maximo en electronica aparece Giorgio Moroder con su sonido HI-NRG
Ya lo dijo una vez Karl Bartos, que ellos no inventaron un género; no puedes inventar algo de la nada no sin antes tomar una referencia de base. Lo que ellos realmente hicieron fue tomar, mejorar y pulir un sonido que ya existía desde hace mucho tiempo. Un ejemplo de ello fue "Computer World", un sonido que ya sonaba 25 años atrás, lo pulieron para que se oyera muy futurista en una década donde apenas el futuro se empezaba a visualizar.
@@marcoantoniomoreno8385 Krafwerk seguía la línea de la escuela de electrónica de Dusseldorf y el Krautrock (Can, Neu! Etc), desarrollando música electrónica desde el 70 con unas bases sólidas y concretas muy presentes de su estilo en aquellos primeros años, a la par otros desarrolladores venían siguiendo una línea de musica electrónica más rápida y flexible (Gershon Kingsley, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Moroder, Klaus Schulze por citar unos), la transición que da la música electrónica sólida al EDM se da con Moroder 1977 y su sonido (NRG) el cual seguía sus trabajos de electrónica del 75 y la linea de los artistas mencionados, paralelo al sonido Moroder, Krafwerk termina de formar las bases de su sonido característico (Synhtpop) muy influyente en bandas Punk que tomaron la electrónica a finales de los 80s, del NRG de Moroder, Krafwerk y la electrónica de Tangerine Dream, Vangelis y otros grandes desarrolladores fueron la influencia de muchos productores y grupos ya que estás ramas primarias del EDM (NRG, Synthpop y la electrónica más sofisticada) iniciaron las bases para el desarrollo de casi todos los estilos del EDM en los 80s House, Techno, Synthpop, NRG, Break Dance, Free Style, Italo Disco, New Beat, Ácid, Eurobeat etc...
Indeed, but Kraftwerk is Kraftwerk. Unique new what they did.

Prilly (J.J. Perrey), Raymond Scott, T. Blake, Claude D. Jean, Derbyshire, Dissevelt, T. Lasry etc.
• Kraftwerk 1975-1977 y a través de toda su carrera influenciado en mas modelos electrónicos fluidos: Moroder (Einzelganger 75/Electro Munich), Moroder (EDM Synthpop & NRG 77), Peter Bauman & Edgar Froese (Tangerine Dreams/Electro Berlin), Jean M Jarre (Electro Francesa), Schulze, Vangelis, Dan Lacskman (Telex), Ryuichi Sakamoto (YMO) entre otros grandes productores y genios de la época...estas son las bases más fundamentales para el desarrollo de la segunda generación del EDM de los 80s y sus nuevas ramas: House, Techno, Synthpop, NRG, Freestyle, Italo, New Beat, Trance, Ácid House, Eurobeat etc...
Kraftwerk 👎 50 años de su Electro Experimental, Dusseldorf & Krautrock.

AT THE LATEST WITH "AUTOBAHN" 1974 - KRAFTWERK BROUGHT ELECTRONIC MUSIC INTO THE MAINSTREAM AND INTO POP:
It was also important to have a singer or a singing voice, which is typical for this kind of music. Most of the sounds and instruments here were electronically based. Their 1975 album "Radio-Activity" was a record made only with electronic instruments.

SAMPLES FROM OTHER ARTISTS USING KRAFTWERK STUFF:
Their works were sampled and were also part of "hip hop" so they influenced that style in that way too. The black community also called them their heroes, as Pharrell Williams and pioneers of "techno" and "electro-funk" often said. Many different genres have used samples and made covers. You can find the music of Kraftwerk in jazz, reggae, and other Caribbean music, classical, Latino, Miami bass, polka, surf music, tango, and metal ...
INFLUENCE ON ART AND ON ARTISTS (THEY PUT ON A THRONE, BBC):
ua-cam.com/video/YaQQCW0wH0k/v-deo.html
KW - EVERYTHING IS MAN-MACHINE OR "THE CONNECTION"
Fritz Lang and "Metropolis" showed the working world as a symbiosis of man and machine, but Kraftwerk put it into music and went even further: they also pointed out with their lyrics that this will be a part of social and private life, and also in connection with shopping, doing business, playing, watching, making love, and so on. This is our today. You knew it will be a part of every area in our daily lives. Do you know what it means? If a man wants to achieve his goals, he needs a machine in every area of life.
1. If you want to drive a car and get from A to B, you need a man to start it, drive it, and motor the car to achieve that goal.
2. If you want to find out something in Google, you need the man to type words for it, and the computer searches for the entries.
3. If you want to talk to someone on the phone, you need yourself and the machine to connect and make contact.
4. If you want to boil water, you need both ...
5. If you mow the lawn ...
6. If you use an electronic toy in any way ...
7. If you use the "electro-cardiogram" ...
8. If you control "power plants" ... No matter what field, this is the concept of our world.
about time !!!!pure genius
8:48 Wolfgang 😂😍
Edgar Varese is who I consider the one who birthed electronic music, but kraftwerk is responsible for shaping it and really doing something with the limited base Varese built in the 30s
Aw McCluskey
Yes, it´s sad, and I have the same problem, but it doesn´t matter, we´ll find them.
:(
@@btoum__roumada & Arturo Celio ROjas
I'm not exactly a teenager anymore but good luck to y'all ! I still haven't found other Kraftwerk fans...
Great!
I remember Kraftwerk so heavy in hip hop back in the day....the breaks were so easy to use in just about any mix
The Maneheim Steam made computer type Christmas music.
version of the man machine at 8:20 is not the one off the album, where is it from? ta.
bij 4:02 is nederlandse ondertiteling, het is ook op nerderland 3.
Een nederlandse zender.
5:47 Dude, I agree with you 100%!
@vanelektrik: Do you know the source material of the video excerpts?
What were the sources for the video? I wanted to watch the Afrika Babaataa one, is it on youtube?
To this day many people havn't put two-and-two together to realized that the track Planet Rock is simply Numbers with a street edge.
Kraftwerk is the best. What do you guys/gals think of Tangerine Dream? They made some great film scores: Sorcerer, Thief, Risky Business, Legend, Three O'Clock High...
Kamikaze 1989 and Flashpoint
Fassbinder rules!!!
theme music for the show 'Streethawk"
Tangerine Dream is presented by GTA 5.
this is spot on ...
Legends...Kraftwerk for life!
Its More Fun To Compute, even more so in this Day and Age.....
what is the name of the song min:8:41?
5***** from Germany.
Well done!
the dr who theme was the start, even before kraftwerk where hippies playing krautrock on their way to becoming the band we know
The One and only ,KRAFTWERK 💯💯💯💯
That hits the nail on the head. Electronic music wasn't exactly "new" - KW made it accessible to the masses, by writing tunes with a melody and lyrics you could sing along to. Something that barely happened before them, when EM was mostly experimental.
What the hell is that clip of fletch from
@vanelektrik And that comes from an old Grandmaster Flash song. Peace.
muitooo topp
electro funk none stop
Jean-Jacques Perrey Musique électronique du cosmos 1962
goated
yes they are all hands down
R.i.p Florian Schneider.
kraftwerk did alot to change music into something new
i mean..they actually build electro drum machines and some of them got patents for it
Does it need explaining? They invented techno. Period.
So cool to see other Black people who fw Kraftwerk
7:45... WHERE DID DUDE GET THAT TOUR DE FRANCE BICYCLE SHIRT???? I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WANT!!!!
You can buy one at the official Kraftwerk store
@MrSYSTEM20 Yes, they are... just ask Chris Carter whose work owes everything to the music of Kraftwerk .... THX for the history lesson gramps.
the model is good also
Kraft, Kraft , not other....
so many legends on 1 video,
also, when Derrick May speaks, you shut up and listen.
Die meister der elektronischen Musik
Gershon Kingsley ( popcorn) 1969,
Raymond scott ( electronium) 1959
Hip hop origins = funk,soul,jazz,
House origins = disco,soul,boogie,
electronic funk is a feeling Sheldon H chambliss
Planet Rock
Yo the gods
Kraftwerk ? LOL :) Do you wAnt to drop some more
sorry look into Raymond Scott 1959
RADIOACTIVITY is my choice
@MrSYSTEM20 Kraftwerk inspired TG... as a matter of fact, Kraftwerk has always been more avant garde than TG, just give a good listen to their debut album and Kraftwerk II... BTW TG are widely credited (widely mentioned) with creating industrial music, a huge mistake industrial music as such begins only and just only with the Great Conrad Schnitzler (who rarely gets mentioned)
Funky futurist Piefke white boys!
Kraftwerk and YMO are my God
Nope. The Grateful Dead produced Electronic Techno in 1966. Listen the Acid Test reels. Kraftwerk built on those electric sounds. Listen to Iron Butterfly, Inna Gada Da Vida, if you want to hear the first four on the floor house beats. The Iron Butterfly drum solo is the real birth of House music on wax in 1968.
Tour de France
❤️❤️❤️❤️‼️‼️‼️‼️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👾👾👾🇨🇦👍🏻
Everyone forgets, or has no idea Wendy Carlos and Robert Moog should be credited too 😭
@MrSYSTEM20 Kraftwerk was dabbling with experimental electronics way before TG was even planned to be a band... documented on CD's and live performances, not old-man pseudo intellectual dabblings... However, if you say you're right I'm nobody to take you down your Ivory Tower, good luck :)
Kraftwerk is good . But I think DEVO is better. That's my opinion.
Numbers. Nothing else remotely close.
Kraftwerk were totally original.........I HATE IT ........when people STEAL other peoples music....... sampling?? WHATEVER! Create your own shit man! Or.....give artists CREDIT! Kraftwerk started hip hop ..at least the music part. and they also were some of the first artists to do RAP in the early 70s!!!!! They actually helped the new black sound of hip hop with their own brand of electronic beats!
Bambaataa just copied Kraftwerk. Unlike today, where Hiphop is extremely creative, then it wasn't musically. But the lyrics brought Hiphop where it is today. Techno was always without lyrics.
MUSIKARBEITER
Although Kraftwork are great they are not the first or true grand fathers of EM that goes to Tangerine Dream (The Tangs) But electronic music goes back further than that,,,,
Trans Europe Express was HEAVILYinfluenced by James Brown's "The Big Payback". It needs to be mentioned and acknowledged.
Van you explain or teach me how?
