look, i have nothing but love for kraftwerk. much of their oeuvre is quite good, and i've been a fan since, i dunno, 1985. but i just think their importance is overrated. like i said, nobody can deny their influence, but i really believe that american disco, funk and electro and dare i say synthpop as a conglomeration was more important to the detroit techno sound than the individual effect of kraftwerk. i don't think that's too hard to understand, or agree with. i mean, really, when it comes down to it, the biggest influence on the B3 is consistently listed as mojo, and kraftwerk was just one of many MANY things that he played, right???
