@edmmusicig: Kraftwerk performing “The Robots” on Soviet television in 1980 feels almost unreal today. At a time when electronic music was still seen as futuristic and experimental, they were already presenting it to a global audience with precision, confidence, and vision. Their influence runs through everything that came after, from techno and house to modern EDM. Minimal beats, synthetic melodies, and the idea of the artist as a machine all trace back to moments like this. This wasn’t just a performance. It was the blueprint. #edm #edmmusic #electronicdancemusic #kraftwerk

Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream were the fathers of electronic music. True visionaries.

Stephen Hawking was the lead singer.

I love the show they did in like 1977 to an audience that has genuinely no idea how to respond to the music. Had to be so wild to hear for the first time

We are the robots Kraftwerk Without Kraftwerk, there would be no electro, synthpop, hip hop, electropop, Detroit, or techno! The German pioneers of the electronic music movement

Germany was always ahead in electronic music. The USA was getting into disco when kraftwerk released their first album in 1970

ЕЛИС♨ :

это не советская передача, да и в целом их в москву тогда не приглашали. просто какой-то фрг-шный концерт на кабельной канале «ностальгии» показывали, а у них логотип такой
