Comment:

Considering just how visionary Krautrock was during the '60s and '70s, it's hard to believe the term started as a U.K.-based stab at electronic German music. At the time, British journalists didn't quite get the scene's prog-inspired focus on spliced tapes and pulsating synths. After all, American and British musicians were more concerned with rock, jazz, and classical music, making the work of Can and its contemporaries seem like a broadcast from Mars. As Jean-Hervé Peron of Faust once told [i]Wire[/i] magazine, "We were trying to put aside everything we had heard in rock 'n' roll — the three-chord pattern, the lyrics. We had the urge of saying something completely different." And say it they did — loudly and proudly — predicting ambient techno (Tangerine Dream), post-rock (Faust, Amon Düül II), synth pop (Neu!), and strands of techno and hip-hop (Kraftwerk) in the process.
