Kraftwerk – Musique Non Stop (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1986

RIP Kraftwerk Co-Founder Florian Schneider 1947-2020

“Musique Non Stop” is a 1986 single by German techno group Kraftwerk, which was featured on the album Electric Café. It was re-released as a remix on their 1991 album The Mix. The single was their first number one on Billboard Hot Dance Club Play and was one of two songs to make it to number one there.

The single is traditionally the final act during Kraftwerk concerts. In the early 1990s, a completely different version of “Musique Non-Stop” – slower and more melodic – was used extensively as a jingle on MTV Europe. Earlier, MTV Europe had already included elements from the original song and the video in the title graphics for MTV’s Greatest Hits.
