As innovative as they are influential, Kraftwerk's contribution to the development of
electronic music since their formation in 1970 remains unsurpassed. Having inspired everyone
from Bowie to Coldplay, Siouxsie to Radiohead, this bizarre collective have also proven
partly responsible for entire genres to emerge: electronica, techno and synthpop to name but
three.s

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
synthpop 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 group's 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
