No. Only Tangerine Dream come close. If we include solo artists, then add Jean Michel Jarre and Vangelis.

I love you.

Kraftwerk has been around since 1970 and released their first album in that year. Devo didn't release their first album until 1978. I think Devo ripped off Kraftwerk.
>>63850331
That's right. It's funny how some people ignore the chronological order of facts. It's like those Youtube comments, "Kraftwerk ripped off Coldplay's Talk"...
>>63849870
oh
don't mention Pierre Henry then
Tangerine Dream
>>63850397
he wasn't even the best concrete artist
>>63850331
more like they ripped off the residents
>>63849998
this guy gets it

Kraftwerk didn't start being a robotic band until Autobahn which was released at the END of 1974
Mechanical Man was created in April 1974. Also, Devo formed in 1973, and the Residents released their first album in 1974. It is unlikely they heard of either bands at the time.
And I wasn't accusing Kraftwerk of purposely ripping them off.

>Kraftwerk didn't start being a robotic band until Autobahn
what does that even mean
>>63850710
I meant that they really didn't start becoming the band everybody recognizes them as until Autobahn. You know, clean cut, almost becoming like machines (in their movements) and being heavily into electronics.
>>63850836
they were always clean cut, and in the neu days it was all about being mechanical
i guess you could point to them using sequencers but devo were really just a rock band who made one track about a man who was a robot
>>63850984
>they were always clean cut
wrong
>and in the neu days it was all about being mechanical
wrong again

They were a band trying to be machines before Kraftwerk ever were. Kraftwerk becoming a thing put a stop to that plan. And I'm not just talking visually, I'm talking musically.

>Mozart
Deadmau5
>>63851193
Mozart is Grimes, the wildchild of electronic music
>>63848292

Tangerine Dream. Most of the early electronic music doesn't seem to be produced by bands though.

>>63850587
According to the movie "Theory of obscurity" about the Residents, DVO didn't know bout the Residents and vice-versa.
