Kraftwerk: We Are the Robots Thursday 22 November 2007 11:30-12:00 (Radio 4 FM)

Marc Riley traces the career of Kraftwerk, whose 1970s electronic music owed more to the experimental German classical compositions of Karlheinz Stockhausen than to any pop tradition. They were part of a new generation of young West Germans, living in the shadow of the Cold War, who identified with the need to recapture a German cultural identity distinct from that of Britain and America.

Followed by News.

I hope it's a slow News day. The history of KW is quite a lot to pack into half an hour, trying to summarise the world's events as well will be quite a challenge.

Edit: Royser will love that they've categorised it as FACTUAL though.

Oh and, I'll be listening in on Radio 4 online next Thursday. ;) Count on that one, folks.

Don't worry, Jeff. I don't care what you have to say on the matter either, so we're even.
