This excellent documentary looks at how a radical generation of musicians created a new German musical identity out of the cultural ruins of war.
Featured musicians include Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, Klaus Schulze and Faust.
You can view the first part above. See the rest on YouTube – while you can.
Description:
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.

The BBC are dead hot on copyright, and move with lightning speed. Besides, it was my TV licence fee that paid for that programme, and I don't want just any freeloader enjoying it.
