The Dawn of Kraut Rock
This week’s wog features the robotically blissful music of Kraftwerk, best known for their long paean to the German Überhighway, the Autobahn—which isn’t in this set, BTW. That the ‘werkers were fascinated by the confluence of computers and music—in an outrageous yet endearing way—can be illustrated by their song Pocket Calculator, which of course was back in the day when the PC was just a blip on the horizon—and is in this set, BTW. Also you will find Trans-Europe Express (a great train song), Computer Love (kisskiss), The Model (ooo!), Tour de France, and finally, The Robots. So sync up with Kraftwerk, find the list at Podwogging.com.
