ARENA

Kraftwerk can justifiably be called electronic music pioneers, from their beginnings in 1969.  It wasn’t just their innovative use of electronics but also their visual style that made them stand out.  Newly-released and under discussion on Arena today is “Kraftwerk 3-D The Catalogue”, a documentary of their multi-media art performances of 8 of their albums in the leading museums of the world between 2012 and 2016.  Are they musicians?  Are they artists? Is it possible to successfully merge both disciplines and be both at the same time?
