Kraftwerk were the innovation of music. The music that they were producing was called Electronic and it all begins with them. Kraftwerk were a band of 4 artists but there were two main producers Florian and Ralf. Their music was produced but synthesizers and different instruments build up by themselves. This music was the new fashion but it wasn't a dance.
Kraftwerk released various albums during their entire career. It all started with "Auto-Bahn" that was their first album that lifts their career; they delete from their files the other two albums before this one. "Auto-Bahn" was a big success and made them famous. After this album they produced a few more records until they produced "Trans-Euro Express" that brought Kraftwerk back to the radio but it was a flop because it wasn't a Dance album. They started listening to what people like to hear on the clubs and produced "Das Model", this album made Kraftwerk back to the radio and to the dance floor.
Two big influences that Kraftwerk did to the Electronic music were: the instruments that they used, that were built by themselves, and how they produced their albums. They took a lot of influence from other producers to complete their albums and that help them to win the emotion of the crowd. Another good thing about Kraftwerk is that the lyrics that they did were changed into all the languages that they wanted to and it still sounded great, that gave them more versatility.
I'm a big fan of Electronic music and now I'm more into the new stuff. But I really was interested in how it all started and when I saw the documentary and how they produced the music it made me think how great it was, comparing that now is all plug-ings.
