As some of the
earliest creators of electronic music, Kraftwerk became the living,
performing embodiment of a stripped-down and unique brand of German
rock. Records such as Trans-Europe Express, The Man Machine and
Computer World were brilliant inventions that owed no debt to the
prevailing music trends of their day. They've gone on to inspire the
EDM movement that's launched the careers of countless DJs and the
wildly popular (and also German) band Daft Punk. With contributions
from Wolfgang Flür and Karl Bartos as well as other musicians from
the world of electronica, this book offers a fascinating window into
the long life of a truly inimitable group.
