Indeed, because not only did they precede Kraftwerk by a decade or so,
but their music was extremely more elaborate to create. Some several
miles of tape were painstakingly handspliced in order to get the
"sampled" sound that we identify with so readily now (and can so easily
recreate in seconds with modern samplers/computers).
I give Kraftwerk major props, no doubt, but I feel that at very least
Perry/Kingsley are as important. Especially, in their own unique way,
to experimental electronic and idm. You could say that
Perry/Kinglsey's music was, in some perverse fantasy-land form,
proto-idm. Much the same that I consider Ryuichi Sakamoto's B2 Unit a
proto-idm album, a good decade+ before IDM came around.
