About this book
The electronic act Kraftwerk has been one of the most influential and style-defining innovators in recent pop music. Their aesthetics, shaped by their reserved synthesizer sound and minimalistic texts, has been a point of reference for musicians and producers for decades and breaks conventional frameworks with conceptual approaches. This volume addresses the band’s music and reception history, which has been characterized by mythologization.
- Erweiterte Neuauflage der ersten medien- und kulturwissenschaftlichen Publikation zu Kraftwerk.
- Erste wissenschaftliche Publikation zu Kraftwerk, die ein Interview mit dem Künstler Emil Schult enthält.
