Yes, this is a bit tasty! Soul Jazz put
their picking skills to the test with a
reverent review of 'Experimental German
Rock And Electronic Musik 1972-83'
covering such legends as Can, Amon Dⁿⁿl,
Popol Vuh, Ash Ra Tempel, Faust and so
many more. For the uninitiated, this
period of music found its null point in
the revolutionary riots and counter-
cultural upheavals which permeated the
globe from Munich to Mexico in 1968. To
the gang of German musicians featured
here, this sea-change required a new
music that better represented themselves
and their time, consciously moving away
from the past by blending newly
accessible synthesizer technologies with
avant garde theory from Karlheinz
Stockhausen, progressive rock music and
probably some really good drugs. Vol.2
of the 2x12" gatefold vinyl issue
collects eleven tracks from some true
deities of German music. Alongside
classic favourites like Dieter Moebius'
emotive miniature 'High Life', the
spiritual thrust of Popol Vuh's seminal
'Aguirre 1' and Ash Ra Tempel featuring
young Manuel G÷ttsching on 'Daydream',
we're introduced to lesser known greats
like the inimitably stoned funk of
Ibliss' 'High Life' and Deuter's
pastoral raga 'Soham'. Together with the
extensive sleevenotes this is a
comprehensive primer for anyone with a
head for classic electronic heights and
probably one of the best Krautrock
compilations we've come across in years.
Highly recommended!
