While the other members of Organisation went off to university, Florian Schneider and Ralf Hütter continued performing together as the newly christened Kraftwerk.
Along with drummers Andreas Hohmann and Klaus Dinger, Kraftwerk became one of the defining acts of the krautrock movement. On their Kraftwerk debut album in 1970, Schneider (flute, synthesizers, electroviolin) and Hütter (organ, synthesizers) developed an experimental sound that meanders through different sonic ideas from instrumental sound design to drum-driven psychedelia. The players have an improvised, jazz feel to their performances where each musician slowly builds off of motifs introduced by the others. The album was produced by Conny Plank.
Here is the discography surrounding Kraftwerk's debut album:
