Biografía

Kraftwerk (In English, "power station") is an electronic band founded in 1970 in D??sseldorf, Germany. They pioneered electronic music in the 1970's and are considered one of the most important and influential bands of their genre -often described as 'the godfathers of electronic music". Ralf H??tter (b. 1946, Krefeld, Germany; organ) and woodwind student Florian Schneider-Esleben (b. 1947, D??sseldorf, Germany; woodwind) met while they were studying improvised music in D??sseldorf, Germany. The first album is called "Tone Float", with Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider as members of the group Organisation. On "Tone Float", the line up consisted of Ralf on organ, Florian on violin and flute, Basil Hammoudi on vocals, Fred Monics on drums and Butch Hauf on bass. The LP features repetitive percussion and bass drum patterns embellished with guitar, flute, violin and organ. Sections of the music are clearly '60s influenced and have an almost eastern feeling with scratchy violin and bongos. "Tone Float" was the last time that Ralf and Florian would rely on unrestrained expression and improvisation. With Organisation being a democratic five piece band, it was difficult to develop a disciplined approach. Any comparison between "Tone Float" and the later Kraftwerk sound is hard to draw.
