♪♫ Kraftwerk - Rückstoss-Gondoliere (Beat Club 1971)

An early and very rare TV performance of Kraftwerk - the legendary and influential electronic music band from Düsseldorf, Germany. From mid 70s to early 80s, the minimalistic and pure electronic combination of repetitive rhythms, catchy melodies and vocoder voices were revolutionary for its time. They strongly influenced Chicago's House Music and Detroit Techno and many artists from Depeche Mode to even Rammstein. The more Krautrock-orientated song "Rückstoss-Gondoliere", performed at the Beat Club TV show, features the early and short lived line-up of Florian Schneider-Esleben - later only Schneider as surname-, Michael Rother (guitar, keyboards) and Klaus Dinger (drums).
