"On November 18 and 19 in Nashville, United States, auction house Julien’s will
auction more than 450 items from the estate of Florian Schneider, the
co-founder of German electronic band Kraftwerk.

It is difficult to overstate Kraftwerk’s profound impact on modern electronic
music. They influenced artistic giants from David Bowie to New Order and
Run-DMC, and defined what it means to be a musician in the age of machines.

What happens to this archive will affect how we understand a key chapter in
music and cultural history."
