Krautrock : The Rebirth Of Germany - BBC Documentary
Fantastic BBC documentary about the social movement ‘Krautrock’
“This is the story of a generation of musicians born into post war rubble who would forge a new musical identity for Germany”
“Amon Düül II would seek to make acid-drenched apocalyptic music that soundtracked their vision of a brave new world”
Loving the fact that German Polydor were tasked with finding the German version of The Beatles. Who did they come up with ? Faust. You can’t make this stuff up !
Here & Now artist Lomea very much insured by 70’s electronica
A fine documentary on Krautrock from the BBC a few years back. "Between 1968 and 1977 bands like Neu!, Can, Faust and Kraftwerk would look beyond western rock and roll to create some of the most original and uncompromising music ever heard.
