Yeah, thanks for the heads-up, Spencer, watched it after the excellent last part of Neil Brand's Sound of Song, which also featured Kraftwerk - he started the programme playing the main melody to Autobahn on the piano prior to a decent analysis of the song itself, which was a nice touch. Also featured extended interviews with Public Enemy producer Hank Shocklee, Rick Wakeman (why was the Moog so great? Because he could play louder than Steve Howe) and Steve Albini (whose fitter chic look these days never fails to amuse, wise as his words are). Genuinely interesting, and well worth a watch:

Liked the Kraftwerk doc, but agree there was way too much Morley and that Kevorkian bloke, who just kept repeating himself. I'm sure they could have found some other talking heads, for instance, Albini (who covered The Model in Big Black) would have given a different perspective I'm sure. Fantastic vintage footage though, particularly the early 80s stuff - such a brilliantly stylised look and performance (Pocket Calculator live was amazing!).
