Florian Schneider Quits Kraftwerk, Robots Still Emotionless


"Florian Schneider leaves Kraftwerk after a 40 years [sic] partnership with Ralf Hutter," the message reads.

The post continues: "This partnership has generated an incredible music [sic] and huge advances in music technology."

Founded in 1970, Kraftwerk are best known for their number one hit The Model and 22-minute track Autobahn.

Notoriously reclusive, the iconic band operate out of a Dusseldorf studio that is said to have no telephone, fax or reception.

Schneider's departure will not affect Kraftwerk's plans to support Radiohead in South America in March.


Robots don't cry. They will most likely just plug in another person who looks bland and unrecognizable, and no one will notice. I mean did anyone know about this anyways?
