Kraftwerk: Publikation is the ultimate biography of the earliest Electronic Dance Music pioneers, available for the first time in the US.
As some of the earliest creators of electronic music, Kraftwerk became the living, performing embodiment of a stripped-down and unique brand of German rock. Records such as Trans-Europe Express, The Man Machine and Computer World were brilliant inventions that owed no debt to the prevailing music trends of their day. They've gone on to inspire the EDM movement that's launched the careers of countless DJs and the wildly popular (and also German) band Daft Punk. With contributions from Wolfgang Flür and Karl Bartos as well as other musicians from the world of electronica, this book offers a fascinating window into the long life of a truly inimitable group.

Review “Buckley's book serves as more than just biography and musical analysis as it is also a cultural examination of electric pop that will be of high interest to Kraftwerk and electronic music fans. Additionally, it will fuel discovery for those not familiar with the band's body of work and its significance.” (Library Journal)“This is the closest thing to a biography Kraftwerk fans are likely to get; they will eat it up.” (Booklist)

Nice overview of Kraftwerk, with a few nuggets By Paul Allaer First things first: this book was released in late 2012, not 2011, as noted on here by Amazon. The book is authored by well-versed musical biographer David Buckley who has previously written books on David Bowie, Roxy Music, and others."Kraftwerk: Publikation" (320 pages) brings the story of the legendary German electronics band. The author did not get any direct input from or access to the two main Kraftwerk members (Ralph Hutter and Florian Schneider) but he did interview many of the past members of Kraftwerk, including Karl Bartos (who writes a short "foreword"), and others. The best part of this book is early on, as the author brings great insight how the band evolved from its humble beginnings in Dusseldorf and had many musicians coming and going. As a lifelong fan of Kraftwerk, I found this book a pleasant reading, and even found some new things along the way that I didn't know before, such as: the track "Radio-Activity" being in part based on the Billboard listing of "radio-activity" of songs (it was only later that the song would become an anti-nuclear anthem); the art work of the "Autobahn" album (showing the 4 band members in the rearview mirrir) being redone at the last minute to airbrush new band member Wolfgang Flor's head into the picture instead of Emil Schult; and the speculation that the lyrics in "Hall of Mirrors" are directly about David Bowie ("He made up the person he wanted to be/And changed into a new personality/Even the greatest stars change themselves in the looking glass"). Bowie is of course also name-checked in the title track of "Trans Europe Express".The book comes in 8 chapters, purposefully mimicking the Kraftwerk "1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8" melody from "Numbers", and then again subdivided in 8 subchapters. The biggest shortcoming for me is that the last 20+ years of the band are handled in one single chapter at the end, leaving us truly wonder on many aspects of the band it its latter stages. But I realize that without input from Hutter and Schneider (who left the band a few years ago), this is truly difficult, as this band cares not one bit about media or exposure. I've seen Kraftwerk only a few times in concert (most recently in 2009 when they "opened" for long-time admirers Radiohead) and this band continues to fascinate me. While not revolutionary, "Kraftwerk: Publikation" is a welcome addition to the Kraftwerk book catalogue.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Mostly interesting and engaging By John Skjolden The biography made for an intetesting read on one of popular music's most important bands. Amusing anecdotes and good analysis of the individal albums were very enjoyable. More content on the technical aspects of the music - both the equipment and the chords/melodies - would have suited the structure of the book; especially since the author found it necessary to include a lot of his earlier research on David Bowie, which often felt oddly out of place an outright irrelevant.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Well-crafted biography about the important but notoriously secretive music pioneers By Larry Marotta Artists like Kraftwerk who use media silence to thwart fans from viewing their triumphs and failures as symptoms of biography ultimately fail. The reason is simple: fans will simply explain their heroes' music through the few biographical details that inevitably emerge. Or if they can't, they will simply create their own mythologies. If a band does not provide biography, fans will do it for them, and they run a real risk of their music being judged through half-truths and what amounts to little more than fairytales.While the members of Kraftwerk still remain inaccessible, the fifth decade of their career finds many historians who now see the group's contribution to rock and roll as being as important as the Beatles', The Velvet Underground's, or Chuck Berry's. For that reason, it's crucial that there be some sort of biographical document even when the two most important sources--the commentary of founding members Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider--are essentially non-existent. Buckley's book does about the best job one can piecing together a factually-accurate story despite some pretty large information hurdles.With interesting input from other Kraftwerk members, most notably the gracious and gentlemanly Wolfgang Flür and the clever and very talented Karl Bartos, as well as from key electronic pop musicians who offer personal commentary which is both intelligent and personal, Buckley offers us the best possible biography about very unwilling subjects. While full of details that will interest fans, it still provides enough context and analysis to interest anyone curious about the development of electro, hip hop, house, and techno, as well as the surprisingly important role of German musicians in shaping rock music history.
