Krautrock: The Rebirth of Germany


It may only be up on the BBC i-player for a few more days, I don't know, but if you are interested in alternative music or are inspired by cultural revolution, I'd urge you to watch 'Krautrock: The Rebirth of Germany'.

Through charting the rise of bands such as Neu!, Can, Faust and of course Kraftwerk, the show really conveys how the creative vibe for social change inspired Germans to reinvent themselves in the latter half of the last century.

Having been to Germany and Berlin in particular a couple of times, it certainly made its mark on me (and yes, that is a pun).
