One of my hobbies is writing music. Nothing fancy - nothing useful, just something I like to do - but it's all basically rooted in synthpop ranging from pop to electronic to goth to more industrial depending on my mood - and Kraftwerk is probably one of the original inspirations in all of the electronic music movements. The Model is a fantastic song.

I was fortunate to see Kraftwerk when Florian Schneider (RIP) was still in the band and it was an awesome, and very clinical, experience. Definitely one of the most influential music acts of all-time. I'm a massive synthpop/EBM/darkwave/chillwave guy and those genres (amongst many others) owe a massive debt to Kraftwerk.
So many great tracks, absolutely love this clip of them (back before I was born!) singing Die Roboter "live":

Enjoying the Beatles documentary (first episode anyway). Watching them work out a song is pretty damn cool.

That's pretty awesome. Was that at Ricoh? I remember there was one that I passed on in the mid-2000s. We were in the process of working the guys who were rebuilding the place we were moving into / getting ready . . . and at the time it just didn't work for us. A bunch of my friends went and loved it.

I think that might have been the last concert for Florian in Toronto.
The final track was Musique Non Stop and I seem to recall each member leaving individually until it was only one member remaining (Ralf?). And then he wandered off and that was it.

Same here. Waiting for all 3 episodes and then plan on binging an afternoon away watching it. - mjones242
I’m not sure I could watch it all in one go. There’s lots of time when they’re sitting, not really getting anywhere, periods of frustration and these times of just beauty when things come together and times when you see these songs being born. Pretty cool. Starting to see some of the interpersonal stuff emerging but they’re the Beatles all the time.

To be honest, I'm not sure if my kids (8 and 3) would actually let me watch 3 in a row, even if I wanted to.
It'll probably have to be one episode a night, but yeah, I imagine some parts might run a bit dry at times.
