Ralf Hütter

The amazing story of electronic music: its epic journey from its origins in Europe, at the hands of the great artists of the post-war classical avant-garde, to the great post-industrial cities of the USA, where this genre of genres took over music stores, shady clubs and, eventually, the big stages.

Collection of performances from the abridged catalogue of German electronic band Kraftwerk. The tracks performed include 'Autobahn', 'Trans-Europe Express', 'Techno Pop' and 'Tour de France'.

This is the amazing story of how a group of reclusive Rhineland experimentalists became one of the most influential pop groups of all time - a celebration of the band featuring exclusive live tracks filmed at their Tate Modern shows in London (Feb 2013), interwoven with expert analysis, archive footage of the group, newsreel of the era and newly-shot cinematic evocations of their obsessions. With contributions from Derrick May, Holger Czukay, Francois Kevorkian, Neville Brody, Paul Morley, Peter Boettcher, Caroline Wood and more.

Documentary which looks at how a radical generation of musicians created a new German musical identity out of the cultural ruins of war.

An animated visual interpretation of the song "Autobahn," by German electronic pioneers Kraftwerk. A fast-paced experimental film which proved to be a groundbreaking combination of electronic and manual animation. One of the first films produced specifically for video disk.

In 1970, the year the band formed, Kraftwerk performed their first concert, appearing in Soest, West Germany, dressed in long hair and leather. The show was recorded by Rockpalast (Rock Palace), a German music television show that broadcast live on Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR). The lineup included founding members Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider (flute), plus drummer Klaus Dinger, who would soon leave to form NEU! with pianist Michael Rother.
