Description
West Germany in the aftermath of World War II was a country in turmoil, yet it was this disorienting landscape that gave rise to a unique musical movement. From the 1960s, a generation of musicians began to experiment with sound, drawing inspiration from diverse sources such as Eastern mysticism, classical music, and the industrial landscape of the Rhineland. The result was a distinctive and influential genre of music, known as Krautrock, which would go on to shape the course of Western popular music. Bands like Faust, Neu!, Cluster, Ash Ra Tempel, Amon Duul II, Can, and Kraftwerk created ruminative, expansive compositions that have had a lasting impact on postpunk, electronica, and ambient music. This book provides an in-depth study of Krautrock and its key figures, shedding light on the social and political context that informed their music. For anyone interested in understanding the origins of today's music, or discovering the pioneering musicians who helped shape its course, this book is a valuable resource.
