BBC Krautrock Documentary

Interesting documentary I stumbled upon

Includes interviews with early electronic pioneers (kraftwerk, klaus schulze,...) so i'd reckon some people here would like to see this.

Sorry if it's jazzband

If you can't be bothered to watch it all, at least look at part 3 around 8:30 too look at Kraftwerk's first television performance, or part 6 where they claim that Brian Eno and David Bowie stole some ideas

cool but jazz

jazz but cool

OMG I LUVE THIS

watched this lastnight. great stuff!

great stuff, missed this first time round cheers

hey,, that was excellent!!! thanks for posting it,,

reminds me i gotta look out some neu

yes you do !

great docu. cheers for sharing

damo suzuki signed my copy of tago mago and gave me a suprisingly huge hug. the man is an absolute legend.

Great documentary, though I was disappointed that there was no mention of Manuel Göttsching/Ashra/Ash Ra Tempel. He was more important than Amon Duul II by far. E2-E4 alone is legendary.

and.. conrad schnitzler?

is Sir Not Appearing In This Documentary. He might have got a brief mention, but they focussed more on the other guys from Cluster.

It's quite strange, actually seeing Krautrock people in the flesh. I got into the music largely through Krautrocksampler, so I always kind of think of them as these primal, godlike beings. Whereas they're just a bunch of softly spoken middle aged German dudes. Damo is the only one who lives up to his legend, he is fucking heroic.

the cluster / eno part is great.

"Alienated Synthesists "

awesome.

good grief .. and ther i was thinking that synth britania was just a collection of crappy mainstream synth band clips, from sparks to the hairspraywave stalwarts of the 80's .. someone must've mislabelled the torrent .. or been playing pranks damn them ... anyway .. youtube has us sorted so it doesn't matter (hurt) too much ..

cheers for this too ..

ashh i see where i fukt up with the synth britannia thing. There's a second program called synth britannia at the bbc, which you definitely don't need to see.

Does anyone know how to get hooked up with that David Sylvian & Holger Czukay collaboration album?

I haven't heard his solo stuff, but he wasn't in Tangerine Dream or Kluster long. All their best albums were made without him. Doesn't seem like he really left that much of a lasting impression in comparison to the other artists. I haven't seen his name used often in any references to Krautrock/Berlin School music.

..and he did appear on this...

i think my favs from him are the colour ones... grun, and gelb, blau too..

That was a very nice documentary.

i wonder why Asmus Tietchens isn't really considered part of this movement. maybe he started too late ?

after this was in my favs for ages I finally watched it, only to find out the last part has no verfickten sound. :wtf:
