A deep dive into Kraftwerk and 8 iconic albums

If you are a fan of Kraftwerk Uwe will take you on a deep analysis of their icon 8 albums, while providing you background on their influences and influenced artists.

The impacts of Andy Warhol and his Factory on the music I like is enormous: Velvet Underground, Lou Reed, Missing Persons, R.E.M., and now Kraftwerk!
