- Synopsis:
After influencing a wide range of musicians who followed, including David Bowie, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and even the punk movement, the Krautrock sound experienced a revival in the early 2000's. Born in Germany in the 1960's and 1970's at the same time as the hippie countercultural movement in the States, Krautrock - originally a derogatory name coined by the British press - combined traditional rock instrumentation with a similar, though more radical, taste for experimentation. Like their American counterparts, Krautrock bands were influenced by psychedelia, and embraced an ambient sound, but fused this aesthetic with the electronic avant-garde. All the bands collected here were part of the original movement, and all have continued to contribute to the music scene ever since. Guru Guru, Karthago, Peter Panka's Jane, Epitaph, Amon Duul II, and Birth Control - a representative selection of the first wave of this influential, though nebulous, genre - all deliver live performances of their seminal music. The Krautrock influence has never been far from rock and roll innovation, and the bands found here have kept this experimental spirit alive and well.
