G Mac Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I just found out that Florian Schneider has passed from cancer at age 73. He left on April 21st and it was announced on May 6th. Kraftwerk has been a big influence on me since I first heard Autobahn. After that, I bought Computer World and Man Machine. I always thought they were a groundbreaking band.

Sgt. Pepper Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 (edited) Damn it's getting crazy everybody's going. I was just talking the other day about - I'm the operator of my pocket calculator with my buddy. Now I'm going to have to listen to some KW. Edited May 15, 2020 by Sgt.

brad1 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 They were the pioneers of electronic music. I have Autobahn. I don't listen to it often. But every few years I throw it on and enjoy it. It's very relaxing for sure. And so different from most of the stuff I usually listen to. I will have to listen to it tonight. Been a while. Thanks for the music Florian.

It's simultaneously the worst and the best lyric ever written. I read his autobiography. Not really a fan, but it was a good read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
