How Futuristic Sounds Rose from the Rubble of Post War Germany.
Krautrock, also known as Kosmische music isn't really a music genre that can be explained without understanding where it came from.
Bands like CAN, Faust, Neu!, Tangerine Dream and Popol Vuh are all very different in sound. But they all existed in opposition to the mainstream culture of Germany in the 1960s and 70s.
Germany was a complicated place in the 20th century. The first part was a disaster, the second a massive success. But that success meant that the country needed to be conformist and restrictive and something had to give.
As with much of Europe, in 1968 Germany was in revolt. That revolutionary fervour was fertile ground.
The musicians of the era were influenced by a lot of the mo...

I've said it before but it's a crying shame that the name 'Jah Division' was taken. Turns out they're russia's longest running reggae band. So well done lads.

There would be No "British Invasion" without Hamburg, Germany. 70's Punk and Post Punk would Look very different without "Krautrock". Johnny Rotten's Vocal style is a Direct Rip-Off of "Neu". No Kraftwerk, No European Modern Eelectronic(sic) Dance/Synth music which Influenced American Hip-Hop and Techno/House. I hear Krautrock everywhere today.

    I find myself coming back to this video over and over again. Superb work. Joy Division for me is an acquired taste, and knowing the social and aesthetic origins of it definitely helped with the acquisition process. Members of Joy Division always said that their work is open to interpretation, and here is my interpretation of the iconic cover of Unknown Pleasures. A pulsar is the terminal stage of a massive star. Its radio wave was the first signal human got to know its existence. So anthropomorphically, the radio wave is its the last cry. Fittingly, the music of Joy Division is the sound of a decaying, post industrial society, as well as an individual losing his will to live.
