Music Monday 11/22/10

Hey!  and good morning to all.  In case you don't know by now I love music.  It started way back when I was a little kid.  I truly believe that music is a gift and revelation from God.  While man, in our sinful ways, have distorted it and used it for every type of depravity you can imagine it still doesn't change the origin or purpose of music.  It is the universal language.  I am speaking of the music aspect of music..... not the lyrical aspect of music, as that in and of itself, is what man has used to distort it.  My musical tastes have been shaped by many different types of music.  I would imagine that there are several of you, if not many, that have had exposure to many types of music as well.  Music Monday is an attempt to delve into some of the music that has shaped my listening ear, and to explore some music that is different and unique, or  that you and I may have never heard before.  This installment is going to have a bit of a different influence, that is not out there by todays standards of music, but was a bit off the beaten path back in the very early eighties when I first started listening to this group.

These following videos will be of a group that helped set the stage for electronic music starting in the seventies.  There are a bunch of people that are aware of this group so if you have heard of them before then take a moment to listen and bring back some memories.  If you have never heard of them before than, listen to the beginings of what would move through the years as techno, house.... etc. as electronic music has continued to evolve over the years.

Kraftwerk:  The Robots

Kraftwerk: Radio Active



Kraftwerk: Tour De France



Well there ya go.  If you have never heard of them, well they are part of the pioneers that started this whole genre of music.  There are many more tunes from this group and it has been taken even further by many other people, but you have to admit that for starting this stuff in the seventies this is pretty interesting stuff, at least it was for me back in early teens.

So what do you think?  More to come later..... it may get a bit more obscure you never know.
