Kraftwerk is a German musical group from Düsseldorf that has made immense contributions to the development of improvisational rock and electronic music, most notably within the latter category's sub-genres which later became known as synthpop, electro, techno, house and IDM. Early musical templates formed within the industrial and hip hop music communities have also been credited to the group. Although they may not have achieved the same amount of record sales or recognition, which arguably could be part of their own design, many critics and fans have considered Kraftwerk to have the same, if not more, importance and significance to popular music as The Beatles. This has proven to be quite a heated debate. The Kraftwerk sound combines a driving rhythm section with catchy, synthesized melodies and harmony; mainly following a classical style of arrangement accompanied by simple lyrics which are sometimes sung through a vocoder or generated by computer speech software. The Moog synthesizer is heavily present in the majority of the group's works, adding to their signature sound creations. In the mid to late 1970s and the early 1980s, the Kraftwerk sound was revolutionary for its time, and it has had a lasting impact across nearly all genres of modern popular music. Members: * Ralf Hutter – Hammond organ, synthesizers, electronic instruments, lead-vocals * Florian Schneider – synthesizers, electronic instruments, flute, electro-violin, vocoder, background vocals * Fritz Hilpert – Sound engineer, electronic percussion (1987–) * Henning Schmitz – Sound engineer (1978-), electronic percussion & keyboards (late 1991-) |
