Krautrock documentary Pt 3 of 6

[micheljch]

I had the good gortune to see/hear Cluster on their 1997 US tour. It was an amazing show, and the 2CD set from that tour is definitely worth purchasing. After the show, while handing Moebius my copy of 'Cluster II" to sign (they were both very gracious about autographs) I remarked that I never thought it possible that I'd ever have a personal conversation with him. He responded, "Well, when I designed this cover twenty-five years ago - stoned - I never thought I'd be here either!"

thanks!

[viewrebecca]

does anyone know the song at 07:27?

[imnothereactually]

[LariskiAgard]

@viewrebecca Can: Vitamin C off Ege Bamyasi. Fantastic song.

[gustmatik]

[TheMadisonHang]

Bboy song @ 7:40

[CroatiumSS]

what's the song of CAN on 03:58min??

[masterfulmuffin]

@CroatiumSS

"Mother Sky" off of Soundtracks, 1970.

[cover821]

what year is this documentary from?

[Annamandabella]

Wow now ! I had never known the genesis of Can though when I watched around 7:00 about the arrival of Damo Suzuki and the whole thing about "Hey it's your first night as lead singer of this new thing at a sold out show" but "don't worry about rehearsals or anything just get up there and do your thing"? Stockhausen as a catalyst? MOVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Annamandabella]

HOLY SHIT!!!! Jaki Liebezeit coming from a jazz background and then going into creating something that is right up there with Burundi drumming but unique in its own way? These type of people are in a group all of their own.

[abducteddonut]

Wow... I can't believe 3 people disliked this? Those 3 people were losing their Vitamin C...

@abducteddonut "The general public, are ignorant and meddlesome outsiders who must be put in their place. They are to be spectators of action not participants who must be regimented to abandon any ideas about controlling their own lives. Their task is to develop a philosophy of futility and to follow orders while focusing their attention on more superficial things which comprise much of fashionable consumption."

~ Walter Lippmann (Pioneer of Propaganda) (1922)

[michbeck88]

Ach ja, Kraftwerk sind wirklich die Besten die wir haben :-)

[SupperOfTheMightyOne]

Woah woah woah...they don't even MENTION Malcolm Mooney?

C'mon, guys.

[NeotericFilms]

@SupperOfTheMightyOne i would imagine he was not included because of the style he sung in, very american, nothing wrong with that but the program is about krautrock and how it was a brand new sound, Damo Suzuki is included, probably because of his freeform style even singing in no particular language which i also agree fits better with the can sound, but im only guessing, and its only my opinion, you are welcome to disagree :)

[corrupcion61]

i'm german and i like argentina for its cafes con piernas and of course the great bands they have...

[steelwizard]

What's the song played by Can called?

[Zeitgeist74]

David Niven was a bad muthaphucka! LOL

[Vaughnrush]

"I don't remember much...cuza I was so stoned" CLASSIC!!

[bamlaflamme]

Fuck which Kraftwerk song is being played at the end of this? It's baller

[DmytroFlandria]

@bamlaflamme

ruckzuck - the first track from their first album

[Necrolokost]

What is the song at the end of part 2 and the beginning of part three please ?

[fer1928]

Y dont know wy,but in argentina we still love germany,we hate english and americans,germany has a special magic for us,may be for that of the fenix bird,

[erikm12]

Aaaaaaaaau tooooo baaaaaaaahhhhhhhhnnnnnnnnn

[lamecasuelas2]

hey!1 Damo loook pretty damn good!!!

he's cool, or the opossite of cool , but i a good way

hahaha

shit, what am i saying?

[halfjapanesenirvana]

"Play monotonous." There is a film of the Newport Jazz Festival from 1958 called Jazz On A Summer Day. Chico Hamilton's solo is completely repetitive and hypnotic. Recommended.

[SonofMrPeanut]

@halfjapanesenirvana It can be instantly streamed on Netflix now.  What a wild show.

[MrSkulleyes]

I LOVE CAN.

[francoxxxfranco]

whats it's the machine that the guy of tangerine dream is playing? can somebody explain me a little bit?

[z0hmz]

@acerb45666555

It'll never go away. My great grandfather migrated from Germany to Australia & fought against his homeland at risk of killing his cousins in WW1. His son did the same in WW2, but to this day, when I tell people I'm half kraut, I get the obligatory joke of "half nazi".

[YerJob]

Germans get a bad rap. versailles treaty fucked them over big time

[lokzard]

@YerJob ur so right...

[echoes707]

wow wow thank you my good friend foxtronic very nice excellent

[metalheadnick555]

So glad they mentioned Stockhausen... his influence is usually overlooked

[987345987345]

@metalheadnick555

More so overemphasized. I'm just glad they talked about Roedelius and Moebius. In my opinion, they should really have focused even more attention on the incredible solo output of each man.

[27istheNumber]

"Actually I don't have a so much memories because at that time I was quite a stoned...and uh, that's it, haha."

lol

[acerb45666555]

what?? ...no German should feel guilty for two wars. one begun by insane Nobles and Industrialist's. and the other war begun by a clique of Fascist beanheads! those two specific elements are the sole creators of those wars!

[lucasdimitri]

Dude, mankind is like 200.000 years old, how can you say that 65 years feels like ancient history? People who watched WW2 with they own eyes are still alive! Not even 5 generations have passed since the war..! Be reasonable.

[ColtonBrook]

love damo's commentary "actually i dont have much memory..." :D

[Oscar301]

9.10 - No smoking in the auditorium, please!

[sebastiantsiwt]

what Can song is that in minute 4?

[fnordkid]

its 'mother sky' from soundtracks

[sebastiantsiwt]

thanks

[Namfooodle]

@sebastiantsiwt It's Mother Sky.

[mick2spic]

That last song with the Flute by Kraftwerk was amazing. Does anyone know if that song was released, and whats the name? thx

[mrage04]

it's the opening song ("Ruckzuck") from their first album released in 1970

[LaurenOrourke]

Other than forgettin' bloody Mooney(which sucks to high heavens) I kind of love this documentary.

Gotta love Jaki on the drum-kit.

[daihong68]

Yeah, noticed re Mooney-but I guess if they only have 56 minutes to cover a whole scene then they had to leave out some of the detail of who did what when-didn't mention Schulze being in T.Dream, Ash Ra Tempel or the Amon Duul 1/2 split either.

Darn good overview given the time limitation tho...

[LaurenOrourke]

@daihong68

Oh yeah, and in the end it's just a small nitpick all things considered.

I mean just having this much time devoted to bands like Amon Duul II is amazing.

[hollywoodartchick]

I love that although these musicians are aging, they are still "cool" and dress and look individual. They may get old, but they will always be cool.

[elephanta2]

Froese became a cheap rock star from 1976

[IamianaimaI]

they don't even mention Malcolm Mooney?

[ScottBrown666]

yeah wahts with that?

[mydogsmellslikechips]

very interesting

[Darrylizer1]

"Actually I don't have so much memories because at that time I was quite stoned" - Damo

[pythonbyte]

there should be a documentary on Can alone.

[tinaturntable]

@pythonbyte I'll second that!

[freddyquench]

there is a Can doc. on the CAN DVD.

[hollywoodartchick]

What? Where? I want to see it.

[freddyquench]

It is easy to find. I believe Mute released it. There is a 2 disc version and single disc version. It includes the stellar Free Concert replete with juggler and all.

[hollywoodartchick]

Will have a look. Thanks. Nothing is as interesting to me as watching creative people behind the scenes. The final product is just the tip of some very exciting and complex icebergs.

[godsaway0]

compared to what youtube warrior? Please give physical examples not superficial pedantry.

[z33xd]

youtube warrior... i m glab you hipsters discovered the nww list 25 years after the fact..

weak weak weak

[godsaway0]

Man, your opinions are impeccable. Needless compared to your exquisite taste. Thanks for classifying an entire group of people appreciating music into one solid group.

[tinaturntable]

Why was Malcom Mooney not mentioned?

[basston5]

yeah, that's a little shorthanded by the BBC team...

[IronyValue]

@tinaturntable Pretty irrelevant to the innovative nature of CAN and left before their heyday... no offense intended, but an easy omission/gloss over for a 60 minute documentary when you're trying to be as inclusive of the whole scene as time permits..

[tinaturntable]

@IronyValue Dude! I'm not offended! Just curios that's all! A great docu. All the same!

[earinsound]
