19701979 · drum machines arrive · kraftwerk + p-funk + dub + berlin school

the 1970s

the decade synthesizers became affordable AND drum machines became viable. kraftwerk built the german electronic template; parliament/funkadelic put the moog into FUNK; lee scratch perry's dub turned the mix into the composition; klaus schulze + tangerine dream built berlin school. no genre boundaries yet — everyone borrowed from everyone.
