A full panoramic breakdown of the rise of one of the most influential sounds from Europe.


From 1968 – 77 German bands like Neu!, Can, Faust, Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk looked beyond US/UK rock ‘n 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 the sound Krautrock… This brilliant documentary examines how a radical generation of musicians created a new German musical identity out of the cultural ruins of war, and music that inspired Bowie, Eno, Iggy Pop, and countless musicians today.
