Kraftwerk
(via Wikipedia)
Kraftwerk (German: power plant or power station, German pronunciation: [ˈkʁaftvɛɐk]) is an influential electronic band from Düsseldorf, Germany. The signature Kraftwerk sound combines driving, repetitive rhythms with catchy melodies, mainly following a Western classical style of harmony, with a minimalistic and strictly electronic instrumentation.
The group's simplified lyrics are at times sung through a vocoder or generated by computer-speech software. Their songs are chiefly in a mix of German and English, with some French and other languages. Several of their albums are available as separate English and German language editions, whereas others intentionally present a mix of languages.
In the early to late 1970s and the early 1980s, Kraftwerk's distinctive sound was revolutionary for its time, and it has had a lasting impact across many genres of modern popular music.
