Terrific stuff!

I AM a Kraftwerk fan and quite a lot of modern music - dance music in particular - owes them a huge debt.

And forget the idea that they were some faceless robotic type sour krauts. Read I Was A Robot by the band's "drummer" Wolfgang Flur and you'll soon realise that they liked a laugh or three.

The lads encounter with Ian Dury and the Blockheads; the Average White Band and some Slovenian hotel toilet seats is surely proof of that alone.....

Where would dance music music be now if Kraftwerk were not around ?

They were innovative using very early synthesisers, and using pre-recorded looped tapes of bleeps and plings.

I am also a BIG fan. ;D

They still have a cult following today, the charts show that as Rubiks states.

Geniuses - Kraftwerk are sometimes described as the Godfathers of Techno. One of my all-time favourites.

Saw them live in Brixton Academy last month...they were fantastic  :)

I quite liked pocket calculator - they probably used a Casio to make the noises ;D

BTW Cleo - that's a reference to another thread ;)

you seem to be a bit slow on the uptake tonight - you sure you're not older than me?

LOL

I think they'd be a big draw.  However it's far from certain. The line-up isn't announced until just before the event.

For those who wish to gnash their teeth at the brilliant bands who have confirmed they are playing - this site has a list - http://www.gorge.org/glastonbury/
