NEU KLANG - CHRISTOPH DALLACH GEBUNDEN

A book which all Krautrock fans should read. - Jean-Hervé Péron  Faust The first ever
oral-history of Krautrock  the sound that changed modern music. West Germany  1968. Like
everywhere else in the Western world  the young generation is pushing for radical change  still
suffering the after-effects of the Second World War. Many stream out of the lecture halls and
onto the streets. Some into the underground. And some into the practice basements  in search of
the soundtrack of the movement. >The unique and adventurous sounds that German bands like Can 
Neu!  Amon Düül  Popul Vuh  Tangerine Dream  Faust  Cluster or Kraftwerk produced back then 
now known as Krautrock  are considered a blueprint for modern rock music. And the stream of
their creative admirers and continuators has been constantly widening since the first fans like
David Bowie and Iggy Pop: whether Blur  Aphex Twin  Sonic Youth  Radiohead or the Red Hot
Chilli Peppers. >In Neu Klang  Christoph Dallach interviews its pioneers  including Irmin
Schmidt  Jaki Liebezeit and Holger Czukay of CAN  Neu!'s Michael Rother  Dieter Moebius of
Cluster  Klaus Schulze of Tangerine Dream  Karl Bartos of Kraftwerk  Brian Eno and many others.
Their answers combine to form an oral history that points far beyond the individual band
histories: on the one hand  into the past  to Nazi teachers  post-war parental homes  free jazz
terrorism  LSD and extremely long hair  but just as much into the future  to global recognition
myth-making  techno or post-rock.
