WATCH: BBC4's "Synth Britannia" Documentary

I've been waiting for this one to turn up on YouTube for a while, and it was well worth the wait. BBC4's semi-recent (2010?) documentary chronicling the rise of Britain's electronic music scene/culture. Great insights from Daniel Miller (The Normal, Mute Records), Bernard Sumner (Joy Division), and Kraftwerk's Wolfgang Flür, who brilliantly summates:

"We saw [ourselves as] engineer musicians, instead of dancing boys on stage to arouse the girls."
