Kraftwerk and the Electronic Revolution2008

An amazing treasure trove of information and history on the somewhat marginalized influence of German electronic music. This fascinatingly exhaustive examination of early roots, krautrock, and cultural context, provides anyone interested in music, a thoughtful, well- researched lesson. Thank you so much Fandor for adding this excellent doc!! It would pair up nicely as a double feature for anyone interested In "Brian Eno: The Man Who Fell to Earth" - also HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - for experimental music lovers!

Truly inspiring and information-filled documentary of the early German electronica movement spearheaded and taken to fruition by the amazing Kraftwerk. Highly recommended for fans of music of all types.

Loved it...any up and coming electronic artists out there should have this doc high on their list. Plus, for all interested...Karl Bartos "Off The Record" album (2013), worth a listen, and a surprise for any longtime Kraftwerk fan.

So far so good. I'm about 1/4 of the way through. Very well done, a ton of history.

So much to take in with this amazing documentary. I will need a second viewing, especially after a bit of outside research of some key figures, bands, and artists mentioned in it. One of the best docs I've seen recently.

An amazing review of the original electronic music movement that began in Germany. Any fan of the electronic music genre should watch this documentary to see the seeds that started the forest.

I was looking forward to seeing this video, as Autobahn was one of my favorite albums when it came out. Unfortunately, this is an extremely dull video. The first 40 minutes they flog to death the simple point that in the 60s Germans were merely unsuccessfully imitating American Rock until new experimental musicians could meet at the Organization. By the time Kraftwerk is finally introduced into the film, it's already tiresome. There are way too many talking heads (some of whom don't add much insight and hardly any of them have any anecdotes to tell) and much too little music. By the time they got to Man Machine the film had already put me to sleep. But maybe that's all for the best, as Autobahn was the pinnacle record of the group any way.

fantastic trek through the 60's, 70's and early 80's german music scene. very thorough and then some, especially hearing it from the musicians themselves, inspirations of ideas through sound.

Great movie! What it like you would listen an album!

Informative and accurate...

excellent
