Any chance you could break that 300M .mpg file into smaller chunks for those of us without large hard disks to peruse either as a download from The Group or possibly 'Streaming'? I'm sure, even though, many of us on the list don't speak the language, we'd still like to view it - then maybe one of us who _does_ speak the language could post their translation as best as they can... ...just a thought/request...

Hello fellow Kraftwerk fans
Despite having been a Kraftwerk fan for the best part of my life, I somehow haven't found this list until now.
I'm Swedish by birth but live in England, and a few days ago I heard from a friend in Sweden that there had been a special 30-minute program on Kraftwerk on Swedish TV (which I saw was briefly discussed here). I've now finally got hold of a copy of the program and I would just like to say that I thought it was a very well-made program. Not much in the way of new info, unsurprisingly, even though the interviews with Wolfgang and Karl were obviously specially made for the program and very interesting. Wolfgang gave a much better impression on camera than he did in his book...
What really impressed me was that they had everyone from Stockhausen to Björk to Peter Saville (one of the best designers of all time) commenting on Kraftwerk. Peter Saville was saying that Kraftwerk's imagery and design was by far the most important influence for his groundbreaking work with Factory. It seemed they had interviewed a fair number of people for this, just a shame we didn't get to hear more from them.
Also included was the footage from, I think, the Showroom Dummies video (correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't managed to get hold of this video) where Kraftwerk is dancing. What a great sight! :)
If anyone's interested, I've got the program as an MPEG (300MB though).
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking part in this list as I still take a very active interest in all things Kraftwerk. And please just shout at me if I bring anything up which has already been discussed to death and I'll shut up.
Cheers, Erik
