In this Monday, July 4, 2005 file photo, members of German band Kraftwerk perform on the Miles Davis Hall stage during the 39th Montreux Jazz Festival in Montreux, Switzerland, with Florian Schneider-Esleben at right.
"Kraftwerk co-founder and electric pioneer Ralf Huetter has sent us the very sad news that his friend and companion over many decades Florian Schneider has passed away from a short cancer disease just a few days after his 73rd birthday," read a statement relayed by Kraftwerk's publisher Warner Music.
Subsequent artists like the Pet Shop Boys credit Kraftwerk's brand of rhythmic, minimalist noise, often generated on home-made electronic instruments at "Kling-Klang", their studio-cum-laboratory in Duesseldorf, with transforming the sound of popular music, starting out less than a year after the landmark Woodstock rock festival in the United States.
Kraftwerk's "The Robots" and "Computer Love" singles hymned a coming digital age in the early 1980s, whereas the 1977 album Trans Europe Express evoked the thrill of moving freely through a densely populated, industrialised continent.
