Kraftwerk: Sounds
built 640 days ago
The influence of Kraftwerk’s distinctive use of synthesizers, drum machine rhythms, and heavily effected vocals can ... be heard on early Detroit techno records. Detroit techno artists Derrick May and Juan Atkins tried to replicate Kraftwerk’s sound on early techno records such as Cybotron’s "Clear" (1983), Model 500’s "No UFOs" (1985), and Derrick May’s "Nude Photo” (1986).

[J]ust as their sound was beginning to take hold, Kraftwerk retreated from public life, sealing themselves away in Kling Klang, a brick warehouse that's unlisted and unfindable, its location something of a holy grail among Kraftwerk devotees. It has no phone, no fax, no receptionist and no street entrance; any mail that finds its way there is returned unopened.

As for WON's remaining rooms, Kraftwerk was able to take advantage of Meyer Sound's broad product line to tailor each room's system to the particular needs of its setting, while maintaining consistently high quality throughout. All told, these rooms employ an additional thirty-six MM-4 units, ten UPJ-1P cabinets, and six UPM-1P cabinets, as well as nine UMS-1P ultra-compact subwoofers, two USW-1P compact subwoofers, one 650-P, and one M1D-Sub ultra-compact subwoofer. All of these models, except the MM-4, are self-powered, greatly simplifying the hookup burden as the company's crew rushed to finish installation by opening day.
