Kraftwerk Trivia Questions
1. What nearly identical items graced the covers of Kraftwerk's first two albums?

From Quiz Kraftwerk

Answer: Traffic cones

Both releases were cleverly titled "Kraftwerk." Fans usually refer to them as I and II, or by the cone colors: the first release was orange, the second green. Some members of the band had recorded together before this, under the name "The Organization," but the "cone" albums marked the first uses of the name they would keep.

2. Same question: what is the first name of the other primary member?

Answer: Florian

Same story as above.
