Kraftwerk co-founder quits band!

Image...
German pioneers of techno and dance music, Kraftwerk may soon be about to consign themselves to history as co-founder Florian Schneider has left after a 40 years partnership with Ralf Hutter.

Kraftwerk first started making music back in 1970.

Sorry to see them go?

    No! Both Schneider and Ralf Hutter are legends.. Trans Europe Express will always be one of my favorites.

    You know that commercial with Afrikka Bambatta and Common?? The one where they talk about the song "Planet Rock" that Common recently sampled from Afrikka Bambatta??? It's really a Kraftwerk song called Trans Europe Express, 1977. Planet Rock was 1982. And Truble Funk a D.C. Go-Go band sampled it in 1984. Where's is Dougy Cowboy's Daily Fix from Current on this one???
