Truly living legends, Kraftwerk started out in the 1970’s and their experimentation in electronic music helped influence dance music, hip-hop, and other genres. Tracks like “Trans Europe Express”, “Tour de France”, “Computer Love” and just their whole aesthetic has been iconic, and over their eight albums and numerous worldwide tours, this group has touched the world with electronic music.
In a recent interview with The Guardian, Kraftwerk’s leader Ralf Hütter confirmed what had been talked about for over a year, a ninth Kraftwerk album, with a simple “Oh yes,” saying that “It’s music non stop!”
We imagine they don’t feel any pressure to put out new music right now. These guys are pioneers, though and to have them still in the game, is a magnificent thing!
