Two ideas are really reinforced by the publication of this in-depth history of Germany's most influential pop group. The first is that, since the release in 1981 of Computer World, they have been almost entirely bereft of creative ideas; and the second is that the two main members, Florian Schneider and Ralf Hütter, appear to be complete twats. You can judge for yourself, if you buy the book, but it's not kind to them. The book explores their history as thoroughly as is possible for such a reclusive group, and attempts to shed light on their significant place in musical history.
Needless to say, it's more of a fan's account of events and encounters than an incisive analysis of the impersonality and mechanisation of music that Kraftwerk enthusiastically embraced; and it added little to my understanding of their four classic albums (Radio-Activity, Trans-Europe Express, Man Machine and Computer World). Nonetheless, as the book on Kraftwerk, it's indispensable to the fans amongst us. (
