Krautrock - The Rebirth of Germany (BBC Documentary) - Full Version

BBC Four
Documentary which looks at how a radical generation of musicians created a new German musical identity out of the cultural ruins of war.
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. They shared one common goal - a forward-looking desire to transcend Germany's gruesome past - but that didn't stop the music press in war-obsessed Britain from calling them Krautrock.

I am often overwhelmed by all of the great music released every year-- it's impossible to keep up! There are more people creating music now than there has ever been in the history of the world. You'd have to live in a bubble to avoid finding something you enjoy.

Feel free to copy anything I've written.

Words of wisdom, my friend! Words of wisdom! I may quote your comment sometimes if you don't mint. I cannot say it better. Most of people get a quick overview of the mainstream music genres & artists ant then say that TODAY music is bad. And i say "No, you're just a lazy piece of shit, and yet you're still bitching around!"

Hey, have you considered "Reveal Travel Deal" (google it)? I have seen numerous incredibly cheap hotels and even flights. This may allow you to spend less on your future trip too.

Popol vuh plays on the intro but they don't mention them alongside Neu, Can etc

Protip: Stop relying on the mainstream to spoonfeed you crap.

[HuterDerSchwelle]

It pleased me that Popol Vuh was the first group heard.

I would prefer to think he seized upon a movement, also, it was more than likely Eno that tipped him off ;p
