Kraftwerk - Tour De France

Since I mentioned Kraftwerk earlier, I better give them their props here. This song was my introduction to Kraftwerk, though they had been making music for a few years before I had ever heard of them. This song was so revolutionary in the sounds used as well as the sampling of the breathing. Kraftwerk made people realize you could make some really interesting percussive sounds with the analog synth. This song was both mesmerizing and beautiful, like Cybotron's
"Clear"
was mesmerizing and haunting. After hearing this song I realized how much I enjoyed synth instrumentals and later would grow to love synth instrumentals such as those from Vangelis or even Paul Hardcastle's "Rainforest".
