  This DVD reviews the career and music of Kraftwerk from their inception in the late 1960s (as pre-Kraftwerk ensemble Organisation) through their most celebrated period in the mid 1970s and culminating with their resurgence during the 1980s with the popularity of synth-pop and techno. The film further explores how Kraftwerk both fitted in and pulled away from the electronic wing of what is often lazily referred to as Krautrock. Sparing time also for many of the groups contemporaries from the same field and tracing the unfolding of electronics in German contemporary music generally this programme presents a fascinating story previously untold on film.
