SnaggS,I didn't do the poster myself, it was published in Nova magazine. I have thought about adding some names, but it's pretty crowded already :)
Terry Riley and Steve Reich are in there, at about 10:00
Philip Glass should definitely be in there, in fact I thought it was.
If you go that route, there's a lot of artists missingRe: Joy Division => I think the Kraftwerk influence is more obvious on New Order, and after all, Joy Division as such published only one album and a few singles, so... that takes you to a whole different avenue.
Obviously many names are missing (Pere Ubu could have been near Cabaret Voltaire, 23 Skidoo, etc), and other German bands like DAF, die Krupps, Einstürzende Neubaten, etc. The "Angst Rock" connection (Chrome etc) is missing, and the entire US "new wave" (Gary Numan, Talking Heads, etc... is missing as well.
I think the chart tries to connect Kraftwerk to the current electronica and dance scene, more than the roots.
Dead Kennedys I like, but I don't really feel they are connected to the same movement (like Black Flag, etc).
*** PS. Id be very interested in what your listening to atm.*** In electronica, I am very mellow at the moment, just some soft stuff like Pole, Swayzak, or even pop (the new Air album) and very cool jazz, but more and more R&B (doing a mega sampler of my 40 or so James Brown albums, and next on my list is Barry White, lol :)
This summer I will do a New Order project, with their 12" maxi-singles.Thanks for the suggestions, I'll definitely check out some of the names you mention.
Cheers
Umm, Blue Monday.
These guys just never let german neu wave die! They are unappologetic for have many songs which sound just last kraftwerk.http://www.welle-e.de/
I don't know those guys, so I'll check them out."Komputer" is another Kraftwerk-inspired band, very well produced (the track "Bill Gates" is fun :)
Cheers
directly a tribute to Kraftwerk, is the band Kraftwelt, but I got one of their CDs and don't think much of it.
and he just happened to like Kraftwerk the most. I didn't realise they were supposed to have some link to Kraftwerk to be on the chart.I just double checked my suggestions, and theyre all no brainers, except the Dolphy, for which you want to be in a free jazz mood, or at least a jazz phase. Some of the albums are more accessible than others.
If you like Electronic, get Morton Subotnik, "Silver Apples for the Moon", it will blow your mind.
2 albums - unknown pleasures and closer. still, substance, etc were the collections, but both of those were the studio albums. and the kraftwerk influence is more noticeable on new order, but ian curtis once brought kraftwerk records into a joy division practice session and told the band "this is the future, this is what we should do." and the influence can be heard in the keyboards, especially 'isolation.'
I forgot the first album, sorry. I didn't know about the Kraftwerk influence on Joy Div, I'll have to check out Isolation on that angle. To me, the real influence started with the New Order single Everything's Gone Green, but I may be wrong.Best
