Kraftwerk's Autobahn at 50: The Echoes Kraftwerk Documentary
It’s the 50th Anniversary of Kraftwerk’s Autobahn. The iconic German electronic band switched on their debut album in November, 1970, but their breakthrough artistically and commercially came in 1974 with an album that broke all the barriers of music, especially in the Top Forty.
Ralf Hutter: We could never understand why there were–everybody wanted to stick to the guitars, or the drums because they’re so boring. And now it’s happening.
To celebrate, we’re repodcasting our documentary. Kraftwerk’s Man-Machine Music . We’ll hear from Kraftwerk’s Ralf Hutter as well as Orchestral Manouevres in the Dark, Jean-Michel Jarre, Orbital, Michael Rother, Depeche Mode, James Merle Thomas (Quindar), Karl Hyde (Underworld), Manuel Gottsching (Ashra) and Conny Plank, looking back on a band that altered the face of music for decades. Kraftwerk is on our list of 35 Icons of Echoes. We go down the Autobahn with Kraftwerk’s Man-Machine Music: The Echoes Documentary in the Echoes Podcast.
