BEST ALBUMS 2021 selected by AMPTEK

Si fa sempre più complessa una categorizzazione per generi di una popular music sempre più trasversale e contaminata. C’è ormai una sovrapposizione di strumenti e di stili, si fanno sempre più sbiadite le categorie del 900. Suoni digitali e strumenti tradizionali non stabiliscono più confini precisi fra generi o gruppi etnico sociali, siamo nello style fluid dell’elettronica dove si definiscono nuovi territori underground.

Kraftwerk, il suono di un passato futuro.

 da www.princefaster.com https://www.princefaster.it/kraftwerk-il-suono-di-un-passato-futuro/ Nel 1997, il  New York Times  ha definito i  Kraftwerk  i  “Beatles della musica dance elettronica”  e il parallelo è stato a più riprese riproposto da pregiate riviste musicali e di cultura generale come Rolling Stone, The Guardian o LA Weekly che ne hanno anche esteso la portata con titoli come “Kraftwerk Are More Influential Than The Beatles”. Non si tratta solo di titoli ad effetto né di un paragone propriamente musicale, ma di prendere in esame gli impatti che determinate scelte, incluse certe volte in specifici dischi “epocali” o disseminate attraverso vari lavori, abbiano avuto sui gusti del pubblico, sulle scelte di migliaia di musicisti e sugli stili musicali degli anni successivi, o semplicemente sulla capacità che queste due band, anche inconsapevolmente, hanno avuto di prevedere quali sarebbero stati gli sviluppi della popular music.
