Dueling Turtables..Kraftwerk…”Ruckzuck”

Aug 15th, 2007 by Warm Jet


(Live on WDR TV in 1970)
I believe from the 1st official Kraftwerk LP, if I’m not mistaken.
“Ruckzuck” translates to…To jerk-twitch!
To see these artists in this embryonic stage and with live drums is a real treat.
For a great read on them check out Wolfgang Flur’s book “I Was A Robot”!
Flur has some poignant things to say about drummers at the time and they’re obnoxious soloing. These interuptions would stray from the groove of the classic “Motorik” beat used by most Krautrock. Excerpt here.

    i like the crowd confusingly grooving to the ’strange sounds’.

    “we waited for 3 hrs outside the studio and THIS is what we get?”

    take that hippies.
