Description
Journey back to a pivotal moment in electronic music history with this remarkable live radio broadcast from Kraftwerk at Fairfield Halls, Croydon, from September 21st, 1975. Broadcast originally on BBC radio and captured during a period when the band were reshaping modern sound, this performance documents Kraftwerk on the edge of global influence, transforming synthesizers, rhythm machines, and melody into something that would become a new musical language.
By 1975, Kraftwerk had already laid the foundations of electronic pop, but their live shows revealed something deeper: a precision-driven, hypnotic experience where man and machine merged onstage. Their performances became laboratories for their evolving sonic identity, blending minimalist structures with pulsing analogue textures, motorik rhythms, and futuristic atmospheres.
Unlike later, fully polished productions, this concert captures the experimental electricity of Kraftwerk's mid-70s era. You can hear the human touch behind the circuitry -- sequencers breathing, oscillators shimmering, and repetitive grooves locking into mechanical perfection. From hypnotic pulses to melodic machine-pop, Homespun invites you back to Kraftwerk in motion, before the future became standard.
