À propos de cette catégorie
Krautrock grew in late 1960s and 70s West Germany as musicians broke away from Anglo-American rock, creating a new avant-garde. Bands like Can blended improvisation with funk-like grooves, while Neu! introduced the steady “motorik” beat that seemed to roll forever. Kraftwerk embraced synthesizers, paving the way for electronic music worldwide, and Faust pushed sonic experimentation to its extremes. Tangerine Dream carried the movement into cosmic soundscapes that expanded far beyond rock’s borders. The sound is both hypnotic and futuristic: repetitive rhythms, minimal chord changes, strange textures, and a fearless openness to experimentation. Krautrock was not built for radio singles but for journeys—long, trance-like explorations where sound itself became an adventure. It spoke of freedom, modernity, and a refusal to imitate. Close your eyes, let the beat roll, and lose yourself in the endless pulse. Clap in rhythm, sway with the repetition, and step into the future Krautrock imagined!
