◇ image via WikipediaKraftwerk
Kraftwerk is a Electronic and Synth-pop act. Their catalogue also touches Techno. Their sound grew out of MC5, The Stooges, Good Vibrations, William Orbit and Organisation. Those roots explain a lot about how Kraftwerk arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Art of Noise, Depeche Mode, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Pet Shop Boys and Ultravox, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Midnite Vultures, Erasure, Depeche Mode, Raison d'être and Achim Reichel, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 165 connections around Kraftwerk, reaching back through MC5 and forward to Midnite Vultures.
