More Info:
A seminal Bronx DJ during the 1970s, Afrika Bambaataa had a huge worldwide hit with Planet Rock, the 1982 hip-hop classic which blended the beats of hip-hop with techno-pop futurism inspired by German techno pioneers Kraftwerk. Bambaataa revisits the track here. Includes bonus instrumental and acappella versions. Digitally remastered.Reviews:
''Planet Rock: The Album'' is an old school hip hop album by Afrika Bambaataa & Soulsonic Force, released in 1986 as a collection of previous singles. The song "Planet Rock" was one of the earliest hits for hip hop and remains one of its pioneering recordings. The single's liner notes include Kraftwerk with the songwriting credits. In creating the track, portions of Kraftwerk's "Numbers" and "Trans Europe Express" were interpolated, along with portions of songs by Captain Sky and Ennio Morricone. Rather than sampling these works digitally, the phrases were re-recorded in the studio. "Planet Rock" is also cited as the first electro funk record. "Renegades of Funk" was covered by Rage Against the Machine on its ''Renegades'' album. - Wikipedia
