Neu Klang the definitive history of krautrock

"West Germany, 1968. Like everywhere else in the Western world still suffering the after-effects of WWII, the youth are pushing for radical change and the music to soundtrack the movement. The unique and adventurous sounds that German bands like CAN, Neu!, Amon Düül, Tangerine Dream, Faust or Kraftwerk produced, now known as Krautrock, are considered a blueprint for modern rock music. In Neu Klang, Christoph Dallach interviewed its pioneers, and their answers combine to form an oral history that points far beyond the individual band histories; on the one hand, into the past, to Nazi teachers, post-war parental homes, terrorism, drugs and long hair - but just as much into the global recognition of the future." - Baksidestext.
