in 1986 kraftwerk returned that favor and took a part of hip hop (beatboxing) as an influence for their "boing boom tschak" opening track for their (rerecorded) album "electric cafe" (formerly "techno-pop").

Didn't KW always delay the last album to *avoid* sounding like a pop band? Every band and their mothers used beat boxes. I remember the percussion on the disco hit "Ring My Bell" in 1979 using it.
Sure, a whole bunch of people used beat boxes at the time, but Karl Bartos once said that "Beatbox" from Art of Noise was the main reason for "Boing Boom Tschak" to be. Then again, Ralf and Florian can probably deny all of it. E

------------- I love Boing, and they improvised the hell out of the beat. I don't think the pioneers were "returning a favor" like Mr. X said. amir
