9pm - 10pm Friday 23 Oct 09 - that's tomorrow folks
Documentary which looks at how a radical generation of musicians created a new German musical identity out of the cultural ruins of war.
Between 1968 and 1977 bands like Neu!, Can, Faust and Kraftwerk would look beyond western rock and roll to create some of the most original and uncompromising music ever heard. They shared one common goal - a forward-looking desire to transcend Germany's gruesome past - but that didn't stop the music press in war-obsessed Britain from calling them Krautrock.
Ja ja, I'll be 'discking' it

Cheers, Recorder set for BBC4. Just been 'introduced' to Feindflug, and without remembering any German from school I still feel like I've lost a pound and found a penny. Not a disimilar feeling from listening to Joy Division....

Just requires drmdbg & FreeMe2 to find the drm keys and strip the protection from the wmv file.
There's a utility on
this website that will download any iPlayer program that's available in .mov format for iPhones ("More Downloads"/"Portable Devices" under the download link). Just copy & paste the url of the program on iPlayer into it and away you go.

Sounds good!
Though one needs to be in the UK for that, and I'm not really knowledgeable enough to know how to fiddle with IPs and stuff like that...

Any preferences on video formats? They're in wmv at the moment, but I can probably convert them to avi, mpg, DivX, etc.

Just rewatched the doc., there was so much for an auld 'head' like me to take in - it's far from definitive but by Gawd is it interesting and informative - a triumph!
-
Blaast!, The Grauniad
as an experiment I recorded it onto disk at LP - that way I get 4hrs out of a disk rather than 2 and, having rewatched it I can say with hand on heart that there is no visible drop off in Sound and Vision
see what I did there?
I tried to watch Kraftwerk Live again, I couldn't even last 10mins

It was a cracking good watch. Thanks
Si.
While I agree with the right honourable gentleman about the Kraftwerk gig - their early stuff sounded great. I'd never heard that before.

Thanks Si indeed, excellent stuff
@Hom: If you like that early KW stuff, check out their first: Organisation - Tone Float. Masterpiece alert!

The links I sent the ladz are wee iPod sized movies
If ye've got a spare DVD this friday, am sure it's worth a pint or two, no?

FACT!
BTW, I padded the disk out with a Ray Mear's Extreme Knitting programme, is that fine?
