When we hear music, we don’t always know where the foundation lies. Krautrock is at the foundation of a lot of music we like. For instance, if you asked many musicians who create black metal, positive punk (goth), space rock or doom metal, many of them would cite Krautrock as a major influence on them. On a personal level, I think this type of music is the shit; bands like Neu and Can are awesome. Here is a killer documentary that the BBC made about the birth of Krautrock. Enjoy this cool CVLT Nation documentary special.

People interested in kraut rock should check out the book “kraut rock” by Black Dog Publishing. Very in depth ( far more than the BBC documentary), and well put together. Keep in mind people nearly none of these bands ever played together let alone knew each other until later on.

Faust was the best band to come out of that scene. Any objections from the masses?
