Kraftwerk Blog

Kraftwerk was a german group in the 70's that changed the name of electronic music. The music was all industrial sounding, electronic driven music. All of the albums released by Kraftwerk are unique in the fact that they all follow some kind of a concept. This is important in that each of the albums are slightly different from eachother. Kraftwerk typically focused on mostly european issues and concepts in their albums. The music of kraftwerk leaves me slightly confused. To hear modern electronic music and the elements that make it up and then to listen to where these influences came from is kind of crazy. I do not like Kraftwerk's music at all. I think it is hardly audible and extrememely repetitive. It bothers me that music in the 70s was so simplistic and they were able to make money off these products. This kind of music in today's industry would not even sell 500 copies on itunes just because of it's extremely basic dynamic.
