When rock music from Germany gained international recognition under the
label 'krautrock' in the 1970s, it was far more than a mind-expanding
phenomenon.
In basements, youth centers, and improvised studios, a
vibrant scene emerged-shaped by fearless curiosity and a strong will to
transcend traditional musical structures.
Some bands produced
only a single recording; others became experimental platforms for
established musicians or transient fixtures in local underground
milieus.
What united them was a desire to cross boundaries: rock met jazz, folk merged with electronics, soul touched the avantgarde.
These intersections produced soundscapes that remain powerful documents of a creatively restless era.
The
recordings collected here reflect that spirit-not only from the
krautrock period, but also from the decades that followed, including
contributions from both Germany and Austria.
