The ultimate account of Du¨sseldorf’s most influential bands, including Kraftwerk, NEU!, DAF, and Die Krupps
Just like Memphis is the heartland of rock and roll, Du¨sseldorf is regarded as the Mecca for electronic music. The capital of North Rhine-Westphalia became the center of an analog electronic movement from the early 1970s to the mid-1980s. Electri_City uncovers the myths and realities of the bands emerging from the artistic backdrop of a wealthy German post WWII modernistic city and explores the emergence of the electronic scene in Du¨sseldorf, which fostered a creative explosion that influenced musicians and artists worldwide.
