	Krautrock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Krautrock is a generic name for the experimental bands who appeared in Germany in the late 1960s.
		Mostly instrumental, the signature sound of krautrock mixed rock music and "rock band" instrumentation (guitar, bass, drums) with electronic instrumentation and textures, often with what would now be described as an ambient music sensibility.
		Originally Krautrock was a form of Free art, which meant that Krautrock bands gave their records away for free at Free Art Fairs.

	Mocking Music: A Brief Introduction To Krautrock
		The term "krautrock" gets thrown around a lot in relation to indie music; bloggers looking to show off their knowledge of music history often label experimental indie rock groups as having "krautrock sensibilities", "a distinct krautrock sound", and so on.
		The problem with using "krautrock" as a description or as genre is the degree to which its most common conventions are a part of other contemporary genres; tape edits and distorted sound are commonplace in most electronica and all noise music, and the extended repetitions can be found in most ambient work and even post-rock.
		By defining "krautrock" as the use of repetition and sporadic editing instead of as a musical movement in Germany in the 60s, it becomes all too easy to let the meaning of the word slip away.

		Krautrock, all in all, included several bands that includes a huge range of different musical styles, and which were only similar in their attitude of creativity and experimentation.
		Krautrock has been an important background for the forthcoming electronic music in the 80’s and 90’s and it is still a main key for the modern electronic artists.

	German rock
		While the term Krautrock (most likely derived from the slang term Kraut for Germans) is often used as though synonymous with German rock in general, it may be more specifically applied to a group of early-1970s bands like Tangerine Dream and Faust, many of whom worked closely with celebrated Cologne-based producer and engineer Conny Plank.
		These factors all laid the scene for the explosion in what came to be termed krautrock (coined by the British press), which arose at the first major German rock festival in 1968 at Essen.
		Originally Krautrock was a form of Free art which meant you could buy Krautrock bands' records for free at Free Art Fairs However after the German Government thought free art a threat they banned free art, which led to Krautrock bands having their records in stores at the same price as other records.

	Can (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Can was a musical group formed in West Germany in 1968, working within the scene that music critics dubbed "krautrock", with a style grounded in the garage rock of bands such as The Velvet Underground and world music as studied by professionals in ethnomusicology.
		Along with their peers in the krautrock scene, they were under the influence of the wider progressive rock movement taking place in England and elsewhere during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
		Damo Suzuki was a very different sort of singer from Mooney: his multi-lingual (he claimed to sing in "the language of the Stone Age"), often inscrutable vocal style added the missing ingredient to a set of playful pop songs.

		Krautrock one-upmanship is one thing - in fact any kind of boasting about rare unheard 1970s LPs is pretty dumb, as they frequently turn out to be very boring records.
		This remarkable artefact from the underbelly of the Krautrock movement was released by the famous Philips label in 1970 as a triple album in an exotic metallic gold and silver sleeve with a small circular mirror mounted on the front cover.
		Others have placed too much emphasis on their obscureness, playing up the angle of 'not even the heavy-duty Krautrock collectors have heard of this label', which is an indication of how the specialists want to appropriate everything for themselves.

	What Exactly Is Krautrock?
		In the late 1960s, some German bands became disillusioned with the fact that most German music was totally influenced by the latest sounds from America and Great Britain, and set out to make their own music.
		Thus, Krautrock was an attitude rather than a specific sound, and most of the bands sound quite different to each other - although there are certain key elements - the use of electronics and improvisation, strange and new sounds...
		Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk were around at the same time, and were both German bands, but are sort of on the periphery of Krautrock.
