  9. Re:Who's posting the torrent? on BBS Documentary Now Shipping · · Score: 0

    Absolutely, this sounds like a great project to support. I got into BBSes around 1990 and met some great people, learnt a lot and it'd be nice to look back on different aspects of the scene and reminisce a little. I used to run an occasional (couldn't afford a second line at the time!) WWIV BBS. Always wondered what happened with WWIV and WWIVnet. Good times though!

    That being said, where the torrent?

    What makes a hammer different to a rock? While a "hammer" is a device specifically made for hammering perhaps, a hammer could also be used to wedge open doors. So what makes that hammer not a door wedge? What is it about that hammer makes it specifically a hammer as opposed to a door wedge (or whatever else you might use a hammer for other than hammering), and a rock not a hammer despite it having perfectly fine hammering capabilities?

    Whatever your thoughts on Kraftwerk, they certainly were influential enough to inspire a lot of early electro-funk, such as Afrika Bambaataa, and were definitely acknowledged as inspiration for house music, more so than many other artists you've mentioned. So whether they were original/cutting edge/pioneering or not, you absolutely can not take away the fact that they were and are very influential on electronic dance music of the last two or three decades. Any house or dance music producer worth his or her salt will namecheck Kraftwerk as influence.
