In a 2013 article in The Telegraph By Neil McCormick about Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode's Martin Gore states: “For anyone of our generation involved in electronic music, Kraftwerk were the godfathers. Radio-Activity in 1975, Trans-Europe Express in 1977, The Man-Machine in 1978: they still sound modern today. The electronic scene blew up after those pivotal albums. There were a lot of punks who kind of moved into a futurist scene, looking for ways to take music beyond the confines of the rock genre.”
