Kraftwerk: There are big names and then there are legends.
There are few bands that have been able to remain as truly progressive as Kraftwerk. They influenced most pop, hip-hop and electronic music artists coming after them and particularly the ones who tend to play at UMF. The computer-graphic imagery they developed at the start of their career basically prophesized the future of the entire technological revolution and its obsession with data bits. This is some of the most awesome dance music mixing ever and the matrix style of their visuals combined with its provocative content is as cutting-edge and relevant today as it was in the 1970s, when Kraftwerk first hypnotized the dance floor. Their performance at UMF Miami this year received star reviews, all of which concurred that Kraftwerk delivered the best show of the night. What can fans expect in Poland? Impossible to say for sure, but most probably the best of Kraftwerk with classics like "Autobahn", newer releases like the hard, fast, and ethereal "Tour de France" and the dark keys of "Computer Love." Kraftwerk: another reason to make the journey to UMF Poland in July.
