Kraftwerk - Rückstoss-Gondoliere
Kraftwerk - Rückstoss-Gondoliere
Ein früher Liveauftritt von Kraftwerk, den Düsseldorfer Pionieren auf dem Gebiet der elektronischen Musik. Im Beat Club spielten sie am 22.05.1971 einen Song namens "Rückstoss-Gondoliere", auch bekannt unter dem Titel "Ruckzuck".
An early and very rare TV performance of Kraftwerk - the legendary and influential electronic music band from Düsseldorf, Germany. From mid 70s to early 80s, the minimalistic and pure electronic combination of repetitive rhythms, catchy melodies and vocoder voices were revolutionary for its time. They strongly influenced Chicago's House Music and Detroit Techno and many artists from Depeche Mode to even Rammstein. The more Krautrock-orientated song "Rückstoss-Gondoliere", performed at the Beat Club TV show, features the early and short lived line-up of Florian Schneider-Esleben - later only Schneider as surname -, Michael Rother (guitar, keyboards) and Klaus Dinger (drums).

Du milieu des années 70 au début des années 80, Kraftwerk a su allié la combinaison du minimaliste, de l'électronique et des mélodies accrocheuses, ce qui fut véritablement révolutionnaire à l'époque. Ils ont fortement influencé la house de Chicago et la techno de Detroit ainsi que beaucoup d'artistes, de Depeche Mode à Ramstein, tous ont une certaine connexion à ce groupe

A Certain Ratio - Dirty Boy featuring Barry Adamson (Chris Massey Remix)
A CERTAIN RATIO – SHARE NEW VIDEO FOR ‘DIRTY BOY’ REMIX | NEW REMIX EP OUT 6TH SEPTEMBER + NOVEMBER LIVE DATES
A CERTAIN RATIO
WATCH THE VIDEO FOR ‘DIRTY BOY’, REMIXED BY CHRIS MASSEY
NEW REMIX EP OUT 6 SEP
LTD VINYL & DIGITALLY
ACR:BOX – OUT NOW ON MUTE
FORTHCOMING DATES INC GREEN MAN FESTIVAL
A CERTAIN RATIO continue their 40th anniversary celebrations with a brand new remix of ‘Dirty Boy’ from fellow Mancunian Chris Massey. The track, described by Mixmag as “for those who like their disco with a bit of a bite” is available today with a brilliant new video, edited by Chris Massey. The track is taken from a new EP to be released on 6 September which features classic and long unavailable remixes of ‘Shack Up’ by Electronic (Bernard Sumner and Johnny Marr) as well as another new remix of ‘Dirty Boy’ by Paul Dering.
Watch the video for ‘Dirty Boy’ featuring Barry Adamson and the voice of the late Tony Wilson, remixed by Chris Massey-
ACR:BOX, featuring over 20 unreleased tracks, is out now as a 7 x coloured vinyl set, 4 x CD set and digitally, and next month the band embark on the next leg of their anniversary shows, starting with three festival appearances at We Out Here, Hardwick and Green Man Festival.
Following on from 2018’s compilation, acr:set, the box showcases the diversity of the singles, B-sides and alternative versions of tracks that A Certain Ratio have released, but without repeating tracks recently made available. ACR:BOX collates everything that fans had been missing from the recent reissue campaign, and compliments that with a selection found after a deep delve into the archive to find all the hidden gems that had been talked about over the years, but never heard – even a few releases the band had forgotten about!
The box set, which marks the 40th anniversary of A Certain Ratio’s debut release, the Martin Hannett produced ‘All Night Party’ (Factory Records’ first single release), which was described recently by Record Collector as “a statement of future intentions: to set funk off against nervous angst.” They went on to be hailed universally as pioneers of what became known as “punk funk” thanks to the success of their second single, ‘Shack Up’, represented here via a radio edit from Electronic, featuring Bernard Sumner and Johnny Marr.
A Certain Ratio embraced the ethic and culture of the late seventies post-punk explosion, but sounded like nothing else around them and refused to fit in. Highlighted recently by FACT, who said: “Their dub-infused punk-funk recordings have proved massively influential over the past thirty years, and Andy Weatherall has called them his favourite ever band (a prestigious accolade in our estimation)”, the band haveinfluenced generations of musicians – from LCD Soundsystem, Happy Mondays, Franz Ferdinand, ESG, Factory Floor and Sink Ya Teeth.
Their sound is not easily pigeon holed and their influence can never be understated. The band introduced the avant-garde elements of funk, jazz, electronics, tape loops and technology to the pop song, wrapping it in a post punk aesthetic, adding great clothes and the coolest haircuts.
