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.

Kraftwerk embrace the atomic age with mixed emotions. surfing on sine waves, scanning the stratosphere for stray radio signals, they plug themselves into a buzzing grid of energy and communication. from the stately eco-angst anthem Radioactivity to the synthetic gregorian chants of Radio Stars and the melancholy machine processional of Ohm Sweet Ohm, a sombre but engrossing monumentalism dominates. With heavily processed vocals in both German and English, Kraftwerk go global with depth and majesty. If factories and power stations are the new cathedrals, they write liturgies for a new industrial epoch.
