Performing Arts - Krautrock: The Rebirth of Germany

575

Description

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 Germanys gruesome past - but that didnt stop the music press in war-obsessed Britain from calling them Krautrock.
