are there any artists similar to radioactivität electronic-era Kraftwerk?
On this topic, I have an interdasting question for /mu/:So, considering that 'electronic' isn't a genre... what is early-era Kraftwerk stuff referred to? A lot of their work is synthpop, but it's simply not fair to write off Autobahn, Radioactivität, Trans-Europa Express or Computerwelt as synthpop. I don't think it's techno, and it's certainly not house. It's not IDM. Some people might call them industrial, but not in the traditional sense.Since I've had it hammered into me by /mu/ that "electronic isn't a genre" - how do you classify this stuff?
>>43388654how in the fuck is electronic not a genre? have you ever heard some of the other bullshit made-up genres?
>>43388654i wasn't aware synthpop was a write-off
>>43388654electronic is a genre, just vaguesynthpop is a pretty good descripter, but not for all of those albums
>>43388654They're sometimes considered Krautrock even though they sound nothing like the majority of it. Try Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Brian Eno, Neu! Klaus Shultz.
>>43388654synthpop is fine for trans europe express, man machine, and computerwelt i think. progressive electronic or krautrock are also used often.

>>43388696You're missing the point a bit. I'm not personally saying electronic isn't a genre. I'm calling out /mu/ autists who consistently spout this statement and asking them to categorise this by whatever unnecessary electronic subgenre they can pull out of their ass. Otherwise I'm genuinely interested to see if there's a specific subgenre for the Kraftwerk sound.I'd be happy to call it all 'electronic' myself though.
>>43388776>krautrock0/10
>>43388696It is, but it's too broad to be useful>>43388654Computer World is ElctroTEE is a bit industrial, a bit synth-pop and a bit TechnoRadio-Activity is a bit synth-pop, experimental and Musique concrèteAutobahn is a bit Krautroc, a bit Synth-pop, a bit berlin school
>>43388853just stop
>>43388853Describe the difference between electro and electeonic
>>43388878what?
>>43388834Not saying it is, just saying it gets labeled that because it's german electronic music from the 70's while the Krautrock scene was going on.
>>43388904trying to use genres because you're very bad at it
>>43388878This
>>43388725There's plenty of good and respectable synthpop out there, (other than Kraftwerk Depeche Mode and New Order also come to mind) try telling that to the /mu/ hivemind though
>>43388776>Brian Eno
>>43388892Electro is a type of Electronic musicCharacterized by funky bass lines, drum machines, clicks and zaps, funky drum patterns, staccato/stabbing synths and usually quite bouncyExamples...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDrUv6PLEPAhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YPiCeLwh5ohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imKh_TKqHt4
>>43388892I don't think anyone can. Just as anyone put on the spot will struggle to describe the difference between house and techno is a succinct and to-the-point way.People make up their own definitions in their own mind.
>>43388929>>43388934what? ur not making sense m8
>>43388991>>43388945>>43388915>>43388853>>43388776who carescan't I ask for recommendations without this arguing
>>43389009Genres are just dumb
>>43388945just call it what it is
>>43388776Have you listened to their fist three albums?
>>43388654>>43388776Have you guys ever listened to early Kraftwerk? Their first 3 albums (if you count the Ralf & Florian album too) are straight up krautrock, and Autabahn also has some strong influences.
>>43388776Early Kraftwerk is pure krautrock, plain and simple.Listen to Tone Float (from when they were Organisation)
>>43389009see >>43388991>Just as anyone put on the spot will struggle to describe the difference between house and technothere are a tonne of very clear differencesHouse is typically slower than TechnoHouse utilizes more samples than TechnoHouse is usually more grounded and Techno is more spaceyHouse is warmer Techno is cold and sterileTechno is typically more experimental and cerebral and House is typically more club-friendly
>>43389096>from when they were another bandWe're talking about kraftwerk your dumb nigger
>>43389107who caresshut up
>>43388260It's kind of hard to find that same sound that Kraftwerk has. Most of the stuff you see from that time period doesn't have the same style of melody.I can suggest The Strange World of Bernard Fevre though. It's not exactly as robotic as The Man Machine nor as spacious as Autobahn. Think more along the lines of 1975 mixed with moog and science fiction.Dalihttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQYe7MgHbrMFantasmhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgH3cw5cdHQThe record itself is very hard to find, and I've only found bits and pieces on Youtube. Bernard Fevre remixed/remastered the tracks in 2009 and released them as The Strange New World of Bernard Fevre under his Black Devil Disco Club project.These are from the 2009 remix/remaster.Dangerous Mixturehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbPbdN3jA4cMolecule Dancehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhKdWZjjQKQThe music video for Molecule Dance is especially good.This playlist also has more of his older stuff, most of it is extremely hard to find due to a lot of it being library music.http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXpfnTfNnzUqkHgZAckKi7iESnsVPqVmD
>>43389137what?
>>43389107You sound like someone that argues with his friend for hours over which genre a band be part of
>>43388260God those are some ugly motherfuckers
>>43389189I'm a private... Arrrrr
>>43389215>implying Ralf Hütter wasn't qt as fuck back then
>>43389215raft hütter was cute>>43389158thanks these are real cool !
>>43389189No. I just know the differences.You sound like someone that is lazy and ignorant about genres so complains and attacks anyone that shows an ounce of knowledge
>>43389281except that literally no one cares shut up and get out if you're not going to post on-topic
>>43389328except I was answering someone that made lazy assumptions about genres, which pertains to OP's postGet some knowledge kid
bamp>mfw Musique Non Stop's video took years to make and sat in an archive for three years before the album/video came out
>>43389129OK listen to the first two Kraftwerk albums. Still pure krautrock.
