VA - Deutsche Elektronische Musik, Experimental German Rock and Electronic Music 1971-83 [2010-2020] (4 x 2 CD's)

DEUTSCHE ELEKTRONISCHE MUSIK

VA - Deutsche Elektronische Musik, Experimental German Rock and Electronic Music 1971-83 [2010-2020] (4 x 2 CD's)

Nowadays, the period between 1968 and the early eighties is regarded as a golden period for German music, and saw groundbreaking artists and groups like Amon Düül, Can, Cluster, Deuter, Faust, Harmonia, Neu!, Popul Vuh and Tangerine Dream released innovative albums that would influence and inspire future generations of musicians. This music ranged from Krautrock to the Berlin and Düsseldorf Schools of Electronic Music which nowadays, are regarded as the holy trinity of modern German music. Despite the importance of Krautrock and the Berlin and Düsseldorf Schools of Electronic Music, many of the leading lights of these scenes didn’t enjoy the critical acclaim and commercial success that their innovative music deserved. It was only much later, that a new generation of musicians and record buyers discovered the wealth of groundbreaking music that had been recorded between 1968 and the early eighties and realised its importance. Here were albums that were innovative and way ahead of the musical curve, but sadly, in many cases had failed to find an audience. 

In 2010, the Soul Jazz record label had the superb idea of compiling and releasing a two-disc introduction to Krautrock's heyday titled Deutsche Elektronische Musik: Experimental German Rock and Electronic Musik 1972-83. Seeing how an artist needs to be ragingly popular to turn a profit in the music market these days, the initial Deutsche Elektronische compilation soon fell out of print after the release of two sequel compilations.  (dereksmusicblog.com)

This critically acclaimed and lovingly curated compilation series combines tracks from familiar faces with contributions from new names and a selection of hidden gems. I have placed the two CD's into on folder for each volume of this near-definitive guide to some of the world's most extraordinary music.
