what kind of music are they? Like what would you compare them to?

If you're not familiar, I highly recommend taking a minute to read though this. Florian Schneider-Esleben and Ralf H?tter are the founding fathers of electronic music. They're all about technology and nature. They're known recluses and they made many of their own electronic instruments. Blips, beeps, and vocoders; it's so rad. You may recognize some of it - they've been sampled endlessly.

We Are The Robots

Die Roboter, on German TV

The first time I saw them was in England in 1997. If I remember correctly, that was the first show they had played in like 8 years. Since then, they've started touring and playing festivals again, and I've gotten to see them two more times, but neither were as good as the first. That was an unforgettable music event for me.
