Kraftwerk: I Was A Robot
Kraftwerk: I Was A Robot | Wolfgang Flόr
3 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
Fatboy Slim, the Prodigy, the Chemical Brothers - these are just a few of the major names in contemporary dance culture whose work owes a huge debt to Kraftwerk. Pioneers of electronic minimalism in the '60s, '70s, and '80s, Kraftwerk redefined pop music. When they split up in the early 1980s, founding member Wolfgang Flό r discovered his name dropped from album credits and the drum machine of his own invention being patented by his bandmates. Kraftwerk: I Was a Robot documents the group's alternately inspiring and bitter story from its unsteady beginnings through worldwide fame to the legal battle in a Hamburg court that vindicated the author but left lasting scars on all.

Trying to stay cool in the middle of a 40Β°C heatwave with some Nordic noir and a summer fruit salad... Today is day number five and I'm more than ready for this hot weather to be over! πŸ₯΅πŸ“–πŸˆπŸ₯πŸ“πŸ‘πŸ«’

slategreyskies Oh, I know how you feel! Hot weather‘s always tough for me. I‘m in the US, though, and we‘re expecting a foot of snow on Sunday. Wish I could send some your way! :) 2y
BookishMadHatter I don't think I'd survive heat like that. I'll take the 40-60cm of snow we have predicted through tomorrow over those Temps lol 2y
yvo_about_books @slategreyskies I never expected to say this when I was still living in The Netherlands, but I actually miss having snow. πŸ™ˆ 2y
yvo_about_books @BooksAndYarn I'm definitely not used to this kind of temperatures either! Fingers crossed it's not a sign of what's to come in future summers down here... I never thought I would say this, but I miss having snow. πŸ™ˆ 2y

Got roughly 55 pages in and couldn‘t go on. The writing style is basic and lacks any personality. Additionally, it‘s hard to feel close with any of the characters due to lack of depth. This is one that‘s getting tossed into the β€œget rid of” pile for my books

This is definitely NOT #onemoretime - I wouldn't recommend reading this again - doesn't really give you an insight into the workings of Kraftwerk!
However - just wanted to post as we're going to see them tonight πŸ˜€ apparently it's a 3D show - should be interesting.
