Kraftwerk was a band that was largely responsible for the creation of the electro music movement. Florian started working with the other co-founder, Ralf Hütter, in 1968! He passed after a short battle with cancer.

FUCK CANCER.

The band had several lineup changes, their final album together was 2003’s Tour de France Soundtracks. They were known for taking a single musical theme and having it span an entire side of an LP. Florian left the group in 2008, though he remained close friends with Ralf.

The Rolling Stone story has several of their better-known pieces embedded. I've been listening to their music for probably 30 years now, a friend of mine turned me on to their music probably back in the '80s.
