Florian Schneider, 0ne of the founders of the pioneering and highly influential German electronic music group Kraftwerk, has died. He was 73 years old.

His death was confirmed by his former bandmate, Ralf Hütter, in a statement issued Wednesday. Hütter said that Schneider died "from a short cancer disease just a few days after his seventy-third birthday." No other details were provided.

Their music influenced many many genres beyond electronic

Florian is one of my musical heroes and the reason I own multiple synthesizers.

Snakefinger does a great cover of The Model btw, and I didn't know until today that David Bowie did a tribute song, named V-2 Schneider.

My friend has a ticket to an upcoming show. That's going to be an interesting outcome.

RIP Florian. Musik would not be the same without you.

Have you heard 'El Baile Aleman' by Senor Coconut (Uwe Schmidt)? An amazing album of Kraftwerk songs done in cumbia, Latin style that works so well!
