I think later Pink Floyd was influenced by KW - blatantly so in the case of "On The Run" from Dark Side of the Moon, where it sounds like a guy is getting run down by a helicopter then bombed - or maybe the guy wins and somehow blows up the helicopter. But the track Vom Himmel Hoch from Kraftwerk I has similar explosions - including some of the lead-in sound. Another group influenced by both Pink Floyd and KW was The Rockets - a french outfit who painted themselves silver and played up an all-space theme. Anyone remember them - a guilty pleasure?
