    Marc Riley traces the career of Kraftwerk, whose 1970s electronic music owed more to the experimental German classical compositions of Karlheinz Stockhausen than to any pop tradition. They were part of a new generation of young West Germans, living in the shadow of the Cold War, who identified with the need to recapture a German cultural identity distinct from that of Britain and America.

    Cheers Mike
    Finally got around to listening
    Pretty good stuff "Sometimes we would Kling, sometimes we would Klang":cool:
    Seen them bout 4 /5 years ago in a certain venue in Kapitol Central, they were awesome
    Hoping there might have been some news on new material but ah well, like Paul Morley said "they so accurately predicted the future when it arrived they're was nowhere for them to go"
