cybotron sounds heavily influenced by kraftwerk, but not like kraftwerk. and besides, cybotron is also just the first techno record, much like sugar hill gang was the first hip-hop...not exactly the sound at its most complex (even though it's still great).
of course all music is evolutionary. nothing is completely original, and there are always antecedents for everything. the detroit guys were always quite aware of this...derrick may called techno "kraftwerk and george clinton stuck in an elevator," after all. and you can take either of these artists and say that they were so and so and so and so stuck in an elevator. kraftwerk--who were enormously innovative--are kind of like neu and early jean-michel jarre stuck in an elevator.
what the detroit guys did--and what kraftwerk did before them--was mold these influences into a coherent and different new form.

The law is not the private property of lawyers, nor is justice the exclusive province of judges and juries. In the final analysis, true justice is not a matter of courts and law books, but of a commitment in each of us to liberty and mutual respect. - Jimmy Carter
