Months before the 21-year-prison term of Sydney serial killer dubbed ‘The Mutilator’ is due to expire, the NSW Supreme Court has ordered Damien Anthony Peters to undergo a mandatory psychiatric and psychological examination. Peters was held guilty of murdering and dismembering the bodies of two of his ex boy friends. Trigger Warning: This story has details of a violent murder, which might be distressing to some readers.

"He was always firmly in my mind as one of the most important musical figures of my life," Rother said of his former bandmate

“We’re just private people,” Kraftwerk co-founder Florian Schneider told Rolling Stone in 1975.

New Music Friday is intense. Hundreds of songs drop from artists around the world, and you're supposed to somehow find the best ones.

Peter Hook has paid tribute to the late Florian Schneider by hailing Kraftwerk as the main inspiration for his old bands Joy Division and New Order.

Kraftwerk was supposed to be the man machine, the ultimate fusion of culture and technology. The band’s use of electronic instruments in pop-song form paved the way for those that followed, an influence felt from Detroit techno to London grime, from Kanye to Coldplay. This was a unit whose music would live on via automation long after its human incarnation had departed the natural realm. And yet the death of Florian Schneider—the band’s co-founder, sonic perfectionist, and erstwhile flute player—still hurts like hell.

Like only a handful of other artists from the last century, it's truly impossible to imagine modern music without Kraftwerk. Their metronomic, digitized and futuristic -- yet still highly accessible -- works of the '70s and '80s not only laid the groundwork for genres like synth-pop and techno, but they were also a foundational sample source for much of early hip-hop and electro.
