The "TECHNO" And JAZZ Corner...

I did mention 'Kraftwerk' Didn't I? I first heard these guys when the album "AUTOBAHN" Came out in 1974 when I was a lad of 13=14 years old...and I thank these guys for sparking my interest in 'Electronica'...synthesizers...MIDI...

I highly regard these chaps From Germany as the Grandfathers of today's Techno, sampling, and everything that sprang from it...

Oddly enough? This song got alot of airplay back then...go figure? ;)

Continued... For the time period this came out? This was unheard of what these guys were doing with Dr. Moog's Invention...

Astounding for the day...Imaginative...And there WAS a short Version that was truncated for AIRPLAY in the U.S. On radio...
