Kraftwerks original sounds were so experimental that even today it’s hard to recreate them. But I’m glad to see this tribute to Kraftwerk. It made me smile

[@303machine]

You can recreate them, 99%, without sampling in mind of course, but you need to know how to recreate (choosing appropriate synthesiser) and program sound. And this takes time.

Also: Programming modular synths, like is, haven’t changed much at all? You still need lot of wires to plug and lot of screws to ehm ”screw”until you get any sound out of them. Though that one also has keyboard in it, that is - i suppose - no-no for analog purists?

El gran merito de Kraftwerk es que ellos lo hicieron mucho mucho antes que cualquiera, cuando la música no se concebía mas allá de los instrumentos clásicos, desde 1968 y en contra de toda corriente siguieron fuera del mainstream y ajeno al mercado comercial, dejando un gran legado! muy buen trabajo de cover!

Kraftwerk is one of those bands that comes along once in a lifetime and has shaped the path of the things we hear every day. It is said that Kraftwerk is one of, if not the most influential groups in music. From Rock & Pop to Country and Rap.

[@mariusloubeeka5810]

The joke about Kraftwerk was that they had to build the instruments themselves because what they wanted was not widely available at that time. I could use a computer now that would also work.

[@zachhaywood1564]

I don't quite follow, please forgive me, but what's the joke in that?

[@john-clayknight4885]

@@REXXSEVEN Thank you.

[@klausstock8020]

@@zachhaywood1564 Kraftwerk is a german group, and the "the joke about" is an almost literal translation of the german phrase "der Witz bei Kraftwerk ist". However, "Witz" has two meanings. One is "joke", the other is "cunning" (which is no longer commonly in use). In the context of Marius' comment, it means somethings like "The fun fact about Kraftwerk was [..]".

[@gerdpfeil]

Except that's a generalization and not true: What didn't exist and had to be built was an electronic drum kit that could be played live. The electronic magazines of the time were full of circuit diagrams for simple drum sound generators and they had to make something like that. For everything else their initial difficulty was more in obtaining the scarce and expensive instruments. Their works also document the evolution of their equipment from electronically processed natural instruments to increasingly complex synthesizers.

[@ronrobins3513]

Off the hook!!!! the red shirt black tie made it even better. The Matrixbrute is awesome also

[@TheEdwin73]

Finally some real music on this thing, instead of mere experimental noisy short sequences, a synth like this has Kraftwerk written all over it, like almost it was designed for this style of music. Multi tracking really lets it shine, to its bigger potential...i would like to hear more Kraftwerk covers on it, like 'computer-love' or 'home computer' and of course 'radio-activity' :)...

[@stevenbarnes6385]

not bad! but the musician is moving around too much, and displaying far too much emotion. the real kraftwerk guys would be apalled by this drama queen. get control of yourself and be stoic, like a real robot.

[@templarseries]

Haha!

[@rbrtck]

And as a precision-engineered German, I am appalled (in the most logical possible way) by the excessive emotion exhibited by the Kraftwerk guys. Their lack of discipline and self-control make that hysterical emo Mr. Spock look like a full-blooded Vulcan in comparison. Their synthesizer and Autobahn privileges are hereby revoked until they can demonstrate absolute stoicism in their programming. End of line.

1st Vinyl 12" I bought [from Woolies in UK] was TD's Rubycon - in about 1975! A year later punk exploded here but like you I had to keep my passion for the electronic to myself most of the time especially as I was in a punk band. I tried to introduce self made oscillators into some of the tracks and was totally slagged off! You can then imagine how utterly brilliant it was when Gary Numan hit the screens on TOTP with Are Friends Electric in 79 and I'm like 'told you so...'
