   His influence on popular music is almost immeasurable. More important than The Beatles when you start looking at what sprouted from the electronic seeds they sowed. Magical & magnificent. RIP.

Oh no, that's a blow.

Very sad. I remember "dancing" to Autobahn in a disco. I was just getting into Amon Duul and Can at the time as well, so I became a bona fide krautrocker. Always loved Kraftwerk, Florian was a real innovator.

I remember seeing them on tomorrow's world and hearing autobahn for the first time. From then on I was a kraut rock nut.

Wow that's a shame, a great inspiration and innovator, took us somewhere new.
