Few musical groups can truly claim to have reshaped the parameters and landscape of pop music quite like Kraftwerk. Forging a trailblazing path from their seminal 1974 release, "Autobahn," to the visionary "Computer World" in 1981, the German electro innovators predicted the future with their pioneering use of synthesizers and self-built electronic instrumentation. As David Bowie put it: “The preponderance of electronic instruments convinced me that this was an area that I had to investigate a little further.”
