80’S TUESDAY: Tour de France by Kraftwerk - Today’s post is appropriate on a few levels. First, I get to continue on this music from Germany theme that I kicked off yesterday with Scorpions. Second, it gives me a chance to throw some electronic music out there, a genre that defined much of the 80’s sound. Third, the Tour de France is once again in the news. Thanks a lot Lance for leading the way in the destruction of the great sport of cycling.
I have to admit that I am not the biggest fan on electronic music, but Kraftwerk were innovators and a huge influence across all genres of music. Tour de France can be heard in the 1984 breakdancing movie Breakin’, demonstrating the reach of their music. Plus, how can you not like a band that releases an album called Computer World?
