KRAFTWERK-Rare Interview! +1
Vorsprung durch Technik!
No Italo, No Euro, No Techno without the, perhaps, most influential band ever in the history of electronic music. Kraftwerk can simply not be ignored!
The group from Düßeldorf/Germany is so reclusive that interviews or specific info are almost not available.
This is a rare and very interesting interview with Ralf Hütter, bandleader and founding member.
One note: just like it is being stated in this article: listen to the German versions as Kraftwerk always recorded their tracks with German lyrics and later translated them into English.

Wow thanx VS! Nice to see they aren't as reclusive as we thought.That interview wirh Wolfgang was enlightening - who knew that Krafwerk damaged more equipment when touring than most 'sweaty guitar bands'.
(if unintentionally!
)

Well, Flür wrote a book which exposed some of the Kraftwerk mystique, and drew the ire of Hütter and Schneider. As if that weren't enough, there's a video of him on Youtube where he takes the interviewer to the site of (what I assume is now the former) KlingKlang studios, which had been a well-kept secret up to that point.
Flür had to revise his book for the second edition and English translation due to legal threats, and frankly, I didn't think it was particularly well-written. Nonetheless, there is one thing in there which I think explains a lot: According to Flür, when Hütter says "we", what he really means is "I".

Yes, the original Kling-Klang Studios have been moved a few months ago from Düßeldorf to Meerbusch.Originally Written by BrunoRepublic

Yes, that quote in itself does explain why Hutter is the only one left in the group!
