Who are the most influential group in Pop Music history, some say it’s the Beatles but you might be surprised if I told you many music critics think it’s this lot.
Kraftwerk(English meaning ‘power station’) were formed in Dusseldorf, Germany in 1970 by Ralf Hutter and Florian Schneider, they started out as an experimental Rock outfit which was very popular in West Germany at the time and dubbed by the press as ‘Krautrock.’ Gradually they began to embrace electronic instrumentation that included synthesizers, drum machines and vocoders. Their experimentation would lead to a body of work which was unique for it’s day, baffling many listeners and influencing many more.
It is not overstating the facts to say that Kraftwerk laid the foundations for the the electronic music that came out of the early 1980’s from bands such as Depeche Mode and New Order,they are also a major influence on Electronic Dance Music and Hip-Hop.
‘Autobahn’ is a celebration of driving, the English translation of the lyrics are.’We drive, drive, drive on the Autobahn.This was the bands breakthrough single and their first to use lyrics. In the UK their biggest success remains ‘The Model’ which was a UK Number 1 single in 1981.
‘Wir fahren fahren fahren auf der Autobahn.’
