I was giving a talk recently about our upcoming summer season. When I got to our season opener, Krautrock Classics: An Evening of Cosmic German Music, I stopped to ask how many folks in the room knew what krautrock was. A brief moment of blank stares and nervous laughs was quickly dissipated when I pushed play on my iPod and Kraftwerk's seminal Computer World album filled the room with the experimental electronic sounds that define this music.
The 2012 Ford Amphitheatre kicks off with a tribute to "krautrock."
