Oha - Kraftwerk is the most boring german electronic-band      
There are a few (and i mean: few) electronic musicians i like out there - but
the usual "new age" "ambient" and so on are not creative and real boring, this
music is very good, if you are sleepless    - 5 minutes of this kind of
"muzak", and you will sleep deep.  

Techno? Not interesting, only patterns after patterns, patchworked on a pc, with
loops grabbed from a Buy-now-and-became-a-star-CD.  

But the roots of techno and co are EBM - the dark ones of this kind of music were
truly independent (industrial, crashtrash, darkest wave), some of those pioneers
are very good: Current 93, Neon Judgement, Death in June and more) - late 80s
till 92 was the best time.  

LOL ! I have a collegue of mine that is a kraftwerk fan   ! He gave me an old vynil album abd I converted it in mp3 some years ago...

I´m no Kraftwerk fan at all, but I have to say, way back in the 70s, they were revolutionary and pioneers.
I respect them as I respect every artist.
More than 20ys ago I was lucky to see them perform live here in our city.
I said "to see", cos the most impressing to me was the stage, only lit by the blueish light on their faces in front of the old monochrome screens
But it is art, at least.
Techno is nothing at all (only loud)
