A Danish quartet named in admiration of their prime influence, Kraftwelt re-works the original innovations of Kraftwerk with a sound more in debt to '90s electronic music and trip-hop. The group -- also known for their recordings as Audio Science -- signed to the stateside industrial label Cleopatra in 1996, releasing the Deranged in Space EP in July and their album debut, Electric Dimension, later that year. Kraftwelt also appears on the triple-disc Space Box, alongside similar-minded (if not contemporary) artists such as Cluster, Faust, Popol Vuh, and Hawkwind. ~ John Bush, Rovi
