\u00a4 \u00abKrautrock – The Rebirth of Germany\u00bb: \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>This\u00a0BBC Four documentary\"\"<\/a> looks at how a radical generation of musicians created a new German musical identity out of the cultural ruins of war.<\/p>\n

Between 1968 and 1977 bands like Neu!, Can, Faust<\/strong> and Kraftwerk<\/strong> 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’.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u21d2<\/em><\/p>\n

\"can\"<\/a><\/p>\n

More than any other band, Can<\/strong><\/a>, formed in Cologne by two\"\"<\/a> classically-trained musicians, bassist Holger Czukay<\/strong> and pianist Irmin Schmidt<\/strong> <\/a>(both alumni of Karlheinz Stockhausen), and by Globe Unity’s free-jazz drummer Jaki Liebezeit<\/strong>, transformed progressive-rock into a science. By bridging electronic music, jazz music and rock music, Can accomplished the first organic study on rhythm and texture. Their hypnotic and glacial instrumental jams straddled the line between free-jazz, acid-rock and chamber music. While pursuing an erudite divertissement of Cage’s aleatory music and Schoenberg’s atonal music, while experimenting with the potentialities of electronically-manipulated instruments, while favoring subdued, fragmented, loose structures and sinister, menacing atmospheres, Can became masters of a new electro-acoustic form of music… \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0[Piero Scaruffi<\/a>]<\/p>\n
