Kraftwerk Documentary
The full video is on Veoh. Recommended. It’s almost three hours long, yet mostly interesting even for the moderate krauthead. Kraftwerk’s inestimable influence on music culture is thoroughly considered and chronicled.
That alone would be engaging, but then there’s time spent delving into Eno and Bowie in Berlin recording Low in the mid-70s, heavily influenced by krautatic innovation. According to the documentary, there may have been a Bowie + Kraftwerk album if not for “scheduling problems” on Kraftwerk’s side. If it existed, it would likely trump Low as my favorite album ever.
