"Heroes"

If you go here you can, for "One Week Only", watch the video footage that goes with Kraftwerk's "Minimum-Maximum" live double-CD. Swoon as people who look like elderly public servants or middle managers perform some of the most beautiful and cutting-edge music ever made. Be amazed that "Autobahn" sounds even better now than it did in 1974. Weep for lost opportunities, i.e. not having taken the opportunity to see them play in Melbourne when they toured in what must have been 1982 or 1983. Give thanks and praise to the Internet.
