Kraftwerk German for "power station") is a German musical group that has made significant contributions to the development of experimental and pop-oriented electronic music.
The classic Kraftwerk sound combines driving electronic percussion and bass lines with catchy synthesized melodies and harmony, accompanied by simple lyrics sung through a vocoder. The sound was revolutionary for its time, and it has had a lasting impact across nearly all genres of modern popular music.[1] [Apr 2007]
