Kraftwerk is a German group that was formed in Düsseldorf in 1970. The original trio consisted of Ralf Hütter, Florian Schneider-Esleben, and Charly Weiss. They debuted live at the Tivoli Popfestival in Aachen on July 11, 1970. Over the years, there have been various line-up changes with members such as Klaus Dinger, Michael Rother, and Karl Bartos. Hütter has been a consistent member since September 1971.

The current members of Kraftwerk include Ralf Hütter on lead vocals, vocoder, synthesizers, keyboards, organ, drums and percussion, guitar, and bass guitar; Henning Schmitz on electronic percussion and sound engineering; Fritz Hilpert on electronic percussion and sound engineering; and Falk Grieffenhagen as the video technician.

Throughout their career, Kraftwerk has collaborated with individuals such as Maxime Schmitt and Emil Schult who have contributed to their releases both lyrically and graphically.

With its iconic emil schult sleeve, Kraftwerk release their international breakthrough album. The symphonic title track, an epic ode to the joys of motorway travel, wraps a mesmerising motorik rhythm around a sampled collage of car horns, engine noise, whirring tyres and radio crackle. In edited form, it becomes a revolutionary hit single around the world. Elsewhere, in wordless industrial folk music, the band reveal both their light and dark sides - Mitternacht is all creeping midnight shadows, while Morgenspaziergang is fresh with morning dew and birdsong. Two versions of Kometenmelodie, One a starkly gothic prowl, the other a sunny electro boogie, provide further instrumental sound paintings. Pure and strong and bold, Kraftwerk compose cinema for the ears. the pop world falls in love with them.
