Kraftwerk

Kraftwerk is a band that has been described as a 'unit' by Florian Schneider, who said, 'We are not a band, we are a unit.' The band's music is a unique blend of electronic music with pop melodies and repetitive rhythms. The band's use of synthesizers, drum machines, and vocoders was relatively new at the time. Kraftwerk's music was influenced by the works of Karlheinz Stockhausen and John Cage. According to some sources, Kraftwerk's music has been sampled and covered by countless other artists. Aphex Twin reportedly said, 'Kraftwerk's music is like a DNA code for electronic music.'
