"In the beginning, there was Kraftwerk"
1974's "Autoban" broke the top-10 charts in Germany, England, and the US, and introduced electro to the world. Since then, their minimalist pop has continued to have a profound impact on more artists and genres than we could possibly name.

In 1979, Gary Numan turned away from guitars and embraced the cold new sound of synthesizers (combined with guitar effect pedals). In the span of just 6 months, he released "Replicas" (as Tubeway Army) and "The Pleasure Principle", and created a whole new genre: synth. Since then he has continuously re-invented himself, and in 1994, Gary embraced industrial and darkwave.
