Kraftwerk und die Erfindung der elektronischen Pop-Musik
Uwe SchĂĽtte, born in 1967 in NRW, studied German with WG Sebald at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK and taught as a reader in German at an English university until Brexit. He now lives in Berlin as a freelance author, cultural essayist and music journalist. SchĂĽtte has written or edited over 30 books, his focus is on contemporary literature and advanced pop music, especially the work of Sebald and Kraftwerk.
On the 50th anniversary of the groundbreaking album »Autobahn« - the indispensable biography of the most influential German pop band of all time
»We are the robots.« With this battle cry directed against the conventions and traditions of rock, Kraftwerk set out to conquer the world from Düsseldorf. With their revolutionary concept of electronic pop music, the four human-machine musicians were probably even more influential than the Beatles. The formation's work merged sound and technology, graphic design and performance, highways and robots, modernist Bauhaus aesthetics and Rhenish industrial culture to give modern pop music an electronic direction. Their avant-garde concept of »industrial folk music« from German lands created the danceable soundtrack to our digital age. In the era of artificial intelligence, Kraftwerk, who are still actively touring the globe today, are more relevant than ever.
