Kraftwerk: I Was a Robot (Sanctuary Encores)Kraftwerk: I Was a Robot (Sanctuary Encores) by Wolfgang Flur
Buy used from: $4.68
The intimate and very well written account on Kraftwerk's most successful period (1973-1987). Robots, sex, thespian encounters, cafes, discotheques, glamour and codeine dreams. True to the genetic sentimental nature of Germans, the storyteller is both partly nostalgic and partly very bitter when you read how Wolfgang Fluer freed himself from Kraftwerk in order to retain his humanity.
