On Friday July 18th, I had the chance to see Kraftwerk live in Lajatico, Tuscany—a rare Italian stop on their European tour, and one of the most surreal concert settings imaginable. Performed at Andrea Bocelli’s hilltop Teatro del Silenzio, the show blended stunning visuals, razor-sharp sound, and decades of electronic music legacy into an unforgettable night.
In 2025, the record feels as vital as ever—it reminds us that silence, space, and subtlety are not signs of absence, but of deeper presence.
