Kraftwerk is a Düsseldorf group whose advancements in electronic music have resonated in virtually every development of contemporary pop since the late 20th century.
Early Kraftwerk line-ups from 1970 to 1974 fluctuated, as the band members worked with around a half-dozen other musicians during the preparations for and the recording of three albums and sporadic live appearances. The band released two free-form experimental rock albums, Kraftwerk (1970) and Kraftwerk 2. The albums were mostly exploratory musical improvisations played on a variety of traditional instruments including guitar, bass, drums, organ, flute, and violin. Having released their most influential albums, the group disappeared from view, the first of many extended absences to follow. They did not return to action before 1981's Computer World, a meditation on the new global dominance of technology. The group celebrated the 2003 centennial anniversary of Tour de France with a new version of their 1983 single and followed it with a full album, Tour de France Soundtracks. Minimum-Maximum, a live recording, arrived in 2005.
