For Stubbs, Krautrock reflects the process of renewal of German identity; not in a crudely nationalistic sense, but in terms of recognising the terrible crimes of the past in order to reconcile, heal and rebuild. At times it reads like an extended slog of song-by-song album review. Hard-rockers like The Scorpions are clearly not Krautrock, but neither are progressive rock bands like Eloi or Grobschnitt, Future Days: Krautrock and the Building of Modern Germany debt to 19th century classical forms stands in contrast to the bracing modernism of Can, Kluster et al. But Kraftwerk, Can, Neu! Deeper than Krautrocksampler, it tells a story of the interlocking genius of some of the most creative and influential bands of the last 40 years. However, it only gets 4 stars because the author is terribly prejudiced against all other forms of music from the same period. The book does well in explaining just how innovative and strange a lot of these bands were. You can also choose to be emailed when someone replies to your comment.

I was really looking forward to this book and it absolutely did not disappoint. What kind of audience would Future Days: Krautrock and the Building of Modern Germany have had at the time? From today's perspective, the collectivism of groups like Can stands in contrast to the individualism of neo-liberal art. All in all, though, a good Krautrock reference to which I'm sure I'll return in the future. Well I think it varies. When Kraftwerk were first featured in NME, the spread in the middle was a kind of photo impression of the Nuremberg rally. Recalling a teenage act of hubris in which he played Faust's debut album to his grammar school comrades, Stubbs describes how his disgusted classmates introduced 'a Dadaist element of chance of their own, by stomping their feet hard at key points, causing the needle to jump across the record. Musicians formed combinations and producers such as Conny Plank were equally lauded. In the context of the time, it was not only a rejection of Anglo-American rock star egotism, but a necessary corrective to the legacy of Nazism, an embrace of communitarian values over the totalitarian fetish for Great Men.

  • “Rapper's Delight”
    1 “Rapper’s Delight” From Genre-less to New Genre I was approached in ’77. A gentleman walked up to me and said, “We can put what you’re doing on a record.” I would have to admit that I was blind. I didn’t think that somebody else would want to hear a record re-recorded onto another record with talking on it. I didn’t think it would reach the masses like that. I didn’t see it. I knew of all the crews that had any sort of juice and power, or that was drawing crowds. So here it is two years later and I hear, “To the hip-hop, to the bang to the boogie,” and it’s not Bam, Herc, Breakout, AJ. Who is this?1 DJ Grandmaster Flash I did not think it was conceivable that there would be such thing as a hip-hop record. I could not see it. I’m like, record? Fuck, how you gon’ put hip-hop onto a record? ’Cause it was a whole gig, you know? How you gon’ put three hours on a record? Bam! They made “Rapper’s Delight.” And the ironic twist is not how long that record was, but how short it was. I’m thinking, “Man, they cut that shit down to fifteen minutes?” It was a miracle.2 MC Chuck D [“Rapper’s Delight”] is a disco record with rapping on it. So we could do that. We were trying to make a buck.3 Richard Taninbaum (percussion) As early as May of 1979, Billboard magazine noted the growing popularity of “rapping DJs” performing live for clubgoers at New York City’s black discos.4 But it was not until September of the same year that the trend gar- nered widespread attention, with the release of the Sugarhill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight,” a fifteen-minute track powered by humorous party rhymes and a relentlessly funky bass line that took the country by storm and introduced a national audience to rap.

    Seite 1 von 2 Guru Guru biography "We`re not cosmic rock, we`re comic rock." Mani Neumeier, 1973 A free form jazz mentality, avoiding musical clichés and commercialism, has always characterized the music and philosophies of German freak `n roll band GURU GURU who have categorically occupied their own special stage within the realms of modern music. From it`s LSD induced origins in the late `60s to it`s present day configuration which still rocks and grooves with intensity, countless personnel changes have occurred making it more of a succession of musical ventures and concepts under the moniker GURU GURU, which came about as a tongue-in-cheek reference to the BEATLES and their guru worshipping of the late `60s. GURU GURU were one of the first bands to become associated with the German Krautrock movement from that era along with bands such as XHOL CARAVAN, AMON DUUL and CAN. However, the band was not partial to the absurd stereo-typing and preferred the terms "acid space" or simply, "acid rock" which better described their loud, trippy, improvisational music. The constant driving force behind GURU GURU since it`s inception as THE GURU GURU GROOVE BAND in 1968 has been the MP3, Free Download (stream) unusual intellect and masterful musicianship of drummer MANI NEUMEIER.

  • The DIY Careers of Techno and Drum 'N' Bass Djs in Vienna
    Cross-Dressing to Backbeats: The Status of the Electroclash Producer and the Politics of Electronic Music Feature Article David Madden Concordia University (Canada) Abstract Addressing the international emergence of electroclash at the turn of the millenium, this article investigates the distinct character of the genre and its related production practices, both in and out of the studio. Electroclash combines the extended pulsing sections of techno, house and other dance musics with the trashier energy of rock and new wave. The genre signals an attempt to reinvigorate dance music with a sense of sexuality, personality and irony. Electroclash also emphasizes, rather than hides, the European, trashy elements of electronic dance music. The coming together of rock and electro is examined vis-à-vis the ongoing changing sociality of music production/ distribution and the changing role of the producer. Numerous women, whether as solo producers, or in the context of collaborative groups, significantly contributed to shaping the aesthetics and production practices of electroclash, an anomaly in the history of popular music and electronic music, where the role of the producer has typically been associated with men. These changes are discussed in relation to the way electroclash producers Peaches, Le Tigre, Chicks on Speed, and Miss Kittin and the Hacker often used a hybrid approach to production that involves the integration of new(er) technologies, such as laptops containing various audio production softwares with older, inexpensive keyboards, microphones, samplers and drum machines to achieve the ironic backbeat laden hybrid electro-rock sound.

A ta slova byla Sun Ra. O něm jsem místopřísežně v nejrůznějších médiích slíbil, že ve druhém dílu napíšu stěžejní článek, a vrátilo se mi to jako bumerang. Toho jsem tedy dosáhl, i když by si tento zcela zásadní muzikant zasloužil celou knihu o několika tisících stránek. Přesto studium jeho odkazu pro mě znamenalo otevření dalších dimenzí pro další bádání a pochopení zcela nových věcí. Řada textů vznikla díky možnosti navštívit některé věhlasné světové festivaly, které se věnují alternativní hudbě a neberou ji jako okrajovou záležitost, ale šanci pro poznávání současných trendů. Byla to příležitost blíže poznat řadu umělců a v neposlední řadě pochopit fakt, že takzvaná „alternativa“ je otevřena každé vstřícné duši. A věřte, že na tyto akce v Rakousku či Francii chodí číratí punkáči i zasloužilí důchodci v oblecích a vytváří společnou komunitu lidí, kteří v jakémkoliv věku hledají nové impulsy a mají mnoho společného - totiž právě ono hledání. Tímto bych chtěl poděkovat jejich organizátorům. Opět se čtenáři i kritici budou ptát, proč zde to a tohle zrovna chybí, i když je to trendy nebo klasika nos plus ultra, a proč jsou zde zastoupeni relativně marginální muzikanti či soubory a proč zde relativně malý prostor dostala tentokrát domácí scéna.
