KRAUTROCK

A Progressive Rock Sub-genre

Krautrock definition

Krautrock (also called "Kosmische musik") is a German avant-garde / experimental rock movement that emerged at the end of the 1960's. It was intended to go beyond the eccentricities developed by the wild psychedelic rock universe of the US, by giving a special emphasis to electronic treatments, sound manipulation and minimal hypnotic motifs (continuing the style of "musique concrete" and minimalist repetitive music but within a more accessible environment).

Krautrock put the emphasis on extended and ecstatic instrumental epics, neglecting the format of conventional psych-pop songs. The term Krautrock was first used by the British music press in a very derogatory way. The term rapidly found a better reputation in underground music circles and finally gained a certain popularity (thanks to the Brain-Festival Essen...)

The Krautrock movement is widely associated with notorious bands such as Popol Vuh, Amon Duul, Faust, Neu!, Ash Ra Tempel, Agitation Free, Guru Guru, etc. With their own particular artistic expression, these musical collectives provided rocking psychedelic incantations, mantra like drones, melancholic lugubrious atmospheres, long and convoluted collective improvisations, binary repetitive drum pulses, fuzz guitars, feedback, primitive electronic noises, hallucinatory ballads, and garage blues rock trips. Krautrock can be described as an anarchic, intense, acid, tellurian, nocturnal, spacey, dark and oniric "adventure" through rock music.

The most consistent years of the Krautrock scene cover a relatively short period from 1970 to 1975. After their first spontaneous, hyperactive and psychedelic efforts, the bands generally split up or declined into other musical sensibilities, more in line with mainstream rock or with ambient soundscapes.

Each region develops its particular musical scene, interpreting differently the Krautrock musical structure. For instance the Berlin school focused on "astral" synthscapes, weird electronic experimentation and acid jams (Ash Ra Tempel, Agitation Free, Mythos, The Cosmic Jokers, Kluster...), The Munich scene offered fuzzed out (Eastern) psych rock mantras with some folk accents (Popol Vuh, Amon Duul, Gila, Guru Guru, Witthuser & Westrupp...). Cologne and Dusseldorf underground scenes focused on happenings, political rock, electronics, pulsating rhythms and clean sounding Krautrock (Floh de Cologne, La Dusseldorf, Neu! Can...).

This musical cartography is correct in the absolute but naturally reveals some variations and exceptions. This intriguing and freak 'n' roll 1970's German scene enjoyed a rebirth in recent years thanks to a large number of reissues (of long lost classics) published by several independent labels (Spalax, Garden of Delights, Long Hair Music...) as a direct result of Krautrock's musical inspiration of modern post rock bands. There are actually some neo psychedelic rock bands who try to hold up Krautrock, and who notably find a major place to express themselves during the historical Burg Herzberg Festival in Germany.

Tips Zum Selbstmord
Necronomicon Krautrock

Review by DamoXt7942
Forum & Site Admin Group Avant/Cross/Neo/Post Teams

4 stars Kinda heavy shoegaze psychedelic Krautrock album in early 70s keeps a great comprehensive impact for us Krautrock / Psychedelic Prog fans. Regardless to say, "Tips Zum Selbstmord" was born in 1972 as the debut album of a German psychedelic hard rock combo NECRONOMICON, that definitely involves heavy, desert-y, dry-fruity aroma in the similar vein to "Yeti" or "Teilweise Kacke ... Aber Stereo". Some hollow, unnatural sound effects here and there make us laugh but possibly such artificial sound hoaxes would have come from their innocent playfulness, I imagine. And the most important thing was that this authentic creation was produced through their innocence and inquisitive mind. There is no so-called weirdness nor Berlin-School-oriented electronika but fine acidity and brain toxicity enough to intoxicate and paralyze us.

Their energetic play opens fully from the beginning of "Prolog" featuring fuzzy dizzy guitar sounds and rough tough drumming plus colourful subtle keyboard seasoning. No complicated rhythmic basis nor quirky melody line can be heard but their explosive power, intensive productivity and unwavering creativity completely swallow us. Crazy dissonance with no-good techniques is also essential, leaning towards "Flesh-Coloured Anti-Aircraft Alarm". On the contrary, the first noisy bullets of "Requiem der Natur" are good electronic prescriptions. Although the combination of keyboard plays and choirs is cheesy and fragile, the bluesy hard rock paragraph in the middle part sounds slightly improvisational, and deep heavy sound avalanches on the last run are quite hyper-psychic.

The third titled track rapidly takes us back to dynamic hard-rock-ish realism. Sounds like every Necronomiconer plays full of comfort and pleasure. It could be called sorta typical shoegaze rock. Not bad to hear that this song has no special progressiveness nor innovation despite the fact the title of this album is named after it. "Die Stadt" is another heavy madness. Mysterious (and poor) scat is quite unique, and battles of keyboards, guitars, and drums in the middle phase are simple and non-ingenious but aggressive and vivacious. Wonderful is their delicious, appealing play. Also fantastic is a rare acoustic ending. The epilogue "Requiem Vom Ende" holds ritual, spiritual feelings even in the traditional blues heavy rock background. Largely hear Rufus Zuphall-like matured vibes. So, it's understandable the incomplete stressful reverberations are bizarre

Anyway, it was very surprising to bump into such a legendary Krautrock album like this on Bandcamp Page. Nicey.

Gift Krautrock

Review by Mellotron Storm

3 stars This was the second and final studio by Germany's own GIFT. Released in 1974 there was some changes as the lead singer quit and one of the two lead guitarists also left. So they get another lead guitarist who also is now the lead singer and they replaced the original singer's spot with a keyboardist. So a different flavour here for sure with those keyboards that include piano, mellotron, organ and moog. I like the singer from the debut better but this new guy is good, in fact I do prefer the debut to this one by quite a bit. Interesting that on the RYM site the two albums are in a dead heat with a lot of ratings for each.

I'm sorry for this review for the fact this awful album cover has to be on the front page here for a while. I want to give my top three but I want to mention the opener, the title track just for the fact that it is so catchy on the chorus that it constantly got stuck in my head. Not a fan. First top three is "Don't Waste Your Time" another energetic vocal track, lots on here. But this is the best of those. The guitar lights it up before 2 minutes and we get some organ as well.

Second top three is "Got To Find A Way" and it's the longest at over 6 1/2 minutes. This is uptempo with organ and guitar over top. Vocals 1 1/2 minutes in. Guitar solo of course but this is the most proggy tune on here and I really enjoy it. "Reflections Part 1" sounds really good when it kicks into gear before a minute. As usual we get a guitar solo but man this has to be my favourite track of the bunch. There is a part 2 but it starts out sounding nothing like part 1 at first but then quickly changes to being exactly like part 1.

I can't even say blue apple without getting stuck with that song in my head. Another good record from these guys but I much prefer the self titled debut which has better songs and vocals despite missing the keyboards.

Review by alainPP

4 stars 1 Amboss starts, electronic before time; the bass is present and sets the rhythm, the drums yes that of Klaus remember that it was his favorite machine after the guitar, and that he will then take the synths being able to play everything with them; it is also of course Manuel who plays borderline jam songs on the guitar, on or without acid, songs where he tinkers more than anything else; this track experiments with psychedelic intonations much further than what PINK FLOYD did at the beginning; a long crescendo with the last quarter more elaborate, searching for a sound that didn't exist before; real precursors which unfold a very bland, very dull archaic sound but oh so precursory, yes I repeat myself but in 1971 we didn't know how to do that since it was the first time; the last minute with galloping drums and saturating guitar to fill the air with a psychedelic sound more than me you can't! A sound that takes me back above all to the long crescendo of Klaus. 2 Traummaschine has a more archaic, latent, contemplative and melancholic air; a sound from before, while listening absently I feel the vibrations of TANGERINE DREAM's future work with guitar, from 'Ricochet' for example; it's interesting in hindsight to see that this group was able to provide leads for themselves, for FLOYD too; good Syd gone, the sound will quickly evolve towards progressive art rock while TANGERINE will take time to break away from it, also adept at almost improvised convolutions; the tone is warmer on this second track, almost ambient and the latency brings rock ramifications with Manuel's guitar; the percussions are at their minimum here giving way to the acid guitar which will become a letter of nobility in this very particular movement; reverberations arrive at the end of the track and suggest a gentle ending. 3 today, 4 at the time for this creation!

Review by Mellotron Storm
Prog Reviewer

4 stars GIFT was a German band who released two studio albums in the first half of the seventies. They were birthed out of a band called PHALLUS DEI which most of these guys were a part of when they were still in high school. Clearly fans of AMON DUUL II but they would eventually change their name to GIFT and release this self titled album in 1972. A five piece of two lead guitarists, bass, drums and vocals. This is hard rocking material at times but man this band was innovative for being lumped with those heavy, hard rocking psychedelic bands of the late sixties and early seventies. In fact the best band I've heard in this style is LUCIFER'S FRIEND and while I wouldn't put this band at that level they at least can compete with the way they play and their compositions.

This is a very consistent album as well and I'm not surprised at Mike's 4.5 star review. The best song might be "Don't Hurry" with the wordless vocals and the guitars ripping it up. A lot of those vocal melodies on this album which I really enjoy along with the dual guitars. The closer "Bad Vibrations" seems like a shot at THE BEACH BOYS. It chugs along with vocal melodies over top. So catchy and I like when the guitar mimics the vocals as themes are repeated. The track before it is so good called "Your Like" with that killer start and how about the attitude. Love the guitar after 2 minutes and the calm that is interesting.

Dark and experimental to open "Game Of Skill" then drums only before guitars and bass kick in then vocals. I really like the sound of this one. The calm again is has my attention before it kicks back in. Cycling guitars with vocals late. The only song that didn't resonate with me like the other tunes was "Time Machine". A lot of wordless vocals and flute on "Groupie". How about that instrumental section on the opener "Drugs" ripping it up. This is followed by the proggy "You'll Never Be Accepted" the longest piece at almost 7 minutes.

A great debut and the followup "Blue Apple" will also impress big time even though there was a couple changes in the band.

Review by Mellotron Storm
Prog Reviewer

— First review of this album —
3 stars I enjoyed their debut from 2010 called "Astral Shaman" and I just remember saying "lots of distortion" throughout the review. This one "Mirror Of The Woods" is from 2015 and is quite different. While you wouldn't be surprised to know this is an American band after hearing their debut the truth is you would be surprised to know that these are Americans playing this Raga/World music much of the time on "Mirror Of The Woods".

There's one track that would fit on the debut. Lots of ethnic sounds on the rest and this is just a tough listen for me. But that lone song I'm talking about "Eyes Of The Overworld" is faster paced and more traditional psychedelic sounding. That's my favourite with the title track being the other one I liked. Just look at the track titles and you can see the change in direction from the debut to more of a Raga theme. 3 stars.

Faust Wakes Nosferatu
Faust Krautrock

Review by Dapper~Blueberries
Prog Reviewer

5 stars Among Faust's 1997 releases we would find ourselves upon one of, if not the best Faust album ever made. After the disappointing song and dance that was You Know FaUSt, the group went into something quite new and certainly more enjoyable, which would spark a new Faust that was away from the olden krautrock of the 70s, and into directions that were certainly a lot more thrilling and experimental.

While technically a live album, I consider Faust Wakes Nosferatu to be so original and obtuse from the Faust lineage that it deserves to be recognized as an official 8th helping of Faust's glorious music. There are two versions of this album, a CD and vinyl version. I will be talking about the CD release that is on most streaming platforms, and the one most people know about.

I know it is quite an unpopular opinion, but I just absolutely love Faust Wakes Nosferatu. It showcases Faust at not only their most vigorous moments recorded, but also a level of delicacy that I savor a ton, crafting this practical suite live, soundtracking a movie that was released 102 years ago. If anyone could do it, it's Faust (and I guess Art Zoyd too but we don't talk about that album).

There are a lot of reasons I love this album, mainly the dynamics shown here. The band really plays into their more droney paces here, having more quieter moments that are very ambient; subdued with something to hide, a mystery within the expansive musical landscape. However, the band also finds time to play these very avant-garde krautrock numbers that are loud, bombastic, and even scary. Both moments I adore, as they just show who Faust really are without sacrificing their experimental ideals in favor of what had already been done. Essentially speaking this is the biggest glow up for Faust, going away from the dry feeling of You Know FaUSt, to something such as Faust Wakes Nosferatu. While it certainly isn't for everyone, you gotta admit this is a breath of fresh air for Faust's music.

I also really dig the production here. In my You Know FaUSt review I mentioned that the album suffered from a very strong loudness. The loudness does show up here too, however it's a lot less overbearing, and it actually works this time in my opinion. The noise this album can bring is a bit sparse and glitchy, but perfectly sets the mood for the creepy rock music the band is playing. You can really feel the krautrock jams here, the more intricate post rock textures, and the droning atmosphere, more so than probably any other album in their discography. For that, I think it all works so very well.

I think the star tracks here are the two big epics of Aufbruch nach Rumänien and Verwirrung. Aufbruch nach Rumänien is a bit less avant-garde, admittedly, but it does a great job at exploring the moods that the band wants to go for here, comprising pieces of steller jamming with intricate drones that I very much love. It ends also very wonderfully, having this beautiful rock outro to cap the song off.

Verwirrung, though, is where the band see themselves going full throttle, putting together pieces of noise, rock, ambience, and even some small doses of silence that all work together to create 18 minutes of pure catharsis. This is where they get their most horror focused as well, even having a bit of a jumpscare near the middle of the track. It all blends into this wall of staticy noise at the end, with light twiddling of rock music faintly playing in the back. It is as beautiful as it is mysterious, and so I believe this to be Faust's best epic.

The only real issue I have with the album is that I know this will not be for everyone, heck maybe not for most Faust fans. If you look at any score this has on music sites like RYM or ProgArchives it is rated quite low. I certainly can acknowledge that this record may not be for everyone around the bends, but I implore you too please check this one out if you are willing to see where Faust at their most daring can take you. I hope someday more people will see this album for its bonafide brilliance, like how I can see it as such. This is the overlooked Faust masterpiece.

Avarus Krautrock

Review by DamoXt7942
Forum & Site Admin Group Avant/Cross/Neo/Post Teams

— First review of this album —
3 stars Chaos. Exactly chaos. Wondering what AVARUS wanted to say 'in the tower' (in English, "Tornissa") in 33 minutes. Self- interpreted polit dissonance filled with improv sound formations and oriental, tribal energetic atmospheres ... I have no idea if such a phrase like this would be appropriate for their soundscape. Synthesizer-based melody lines are quite surrealistic and ultradimensional, and percussion-oriented rhythm bases are pretty ethnic, ancient, and conventional. Such a mysterious musical collective should be natural and essential in a religious ceremony or ritual. And from the beginning of this suite created with a collection of randomized funky tunes and light but methodical percussion sounds, it's mystic that the flavour and taste is sweet and aromatic.

Such a designated flow does not change in the middle part, formed with slow and steady rhythmic grounds and heavy fuzzy bassy tips. Sounds like each instrument plays and makes sounds in a selfish or self-centered manner but the sound combinations by all creators and instruments should be very positive and unified. On the other hand, we can enjoy more rock-ish electric guitar plays and distorted synthesizer discharges around them in the latter part. Not a simple electronic but a balanced matured mixture of rock and ambience. Incredible power should be involved in their sound collective. Such an innovative music hotchpotch in AVARUS holds the similarity to the polit pioneers of Krautrock. Chaotic explosions are always awesome.

Kosmischer Läufer Krautrock

Review by ProggyGoose62

3 stars KOPIE! no way more than 3 stars just on principle and integrity This is lovely stuff but it is so much imitation as to be a bit eyebrow raising....Put it this way, if any of these Krautrock bands and songs were hits originally and made money, they would sue this artist for plagiarism to get paid. He is basically doing his take of Neu! and Autobahn by Kraftwerk. There is a YouTubist that does quick three minutes videos like "how to write a Cure or Smiths song" in 30 seconds and gives a lovely and funny demonstration of the parts needed. This feels like that. That said, I find the pastiche to be well produced and very lovely. So, if you don't care where your Kraftwerk or Neu! come from, this cover band is better than most! The production is impeccable. I guess one could call these original songs, but literally for example if a Neu! or TD song had sections 1-2-3 just copy them nearly exactly and then change the order to 3-1-2, that type of thing. Nothing original here but it does speak to the beauty of the original works quite nicely. I was almost fooled at first then got to thinking no way the DDR music was this good or they would not have failed as a society. Keep in mind this is a modern side project whereby the artist pretended to "discover" old archival tapes of music used to train the minds of the East German Olympic teams back in the 70s, but that is all just made-up.

Agitation Free Krautrock

Review by Boi_da_boi_124

5 stars Review #168!

Full of beautiful, melodic improvisations, this album shows the often-guised soft side of Krautrock. This album has foreshadowing of all kinds of genres that were to come, like post-rock, progressive electronic, and modern experimental. This LP is eclectic in every sense of the word. They expand on so many genres in each song, it's hard to pin a genre down before any others. From the first track, the epic pre-post-rock track 'First Communication', you can tell this album's bound to be great. By the second track, 'Dialogue and Random', you hear the band's experimental mind at full play. By the third track, 'Layla Pt. 1', you hear the hard-rocking, structural approach that Agitation Free takes. By part two of The third track, you experience experimental bliss as Stefan Diez nears shatters a guitar. At the fifth track, 'In The Silence Of The Morning Sunrise', you gladly don't hear silence; you hear a mind-blowingly chill, yet complex guitar solo over 'Echoes-esque' backing bass tracks. In the sixth and longest track, you hear electronic sounds that slowly build from pure noise to melodic musical grooves enough to put you in a trance. In the final track, you hear the only vocals on the album. The track, aptly titled 'Haunted Island', is truly eerie. The wind noises, the droning synths, and everything make for a spooky listen. And just as much as this song is scary, it is great, like the whole album is. I could not recommend this one more. Prog on!

Faust Krautrock

Review by Dapper~Blueberries
Prog Reviewer

2 stars With Faust now being back in action after their 1994 release of Rien, the stage was set for more avant-garde rock affairs. 1997 was a particularly big time to be a Faust fan, as that year they released two studio albums and a live album, something you might not fully expect from a legacy group like Faust. These three releases include Faust Wakes Nosferatu, Edinburgh 1997, and the record I will be reviewing today, You Know FaUSt. Sadly, though, one of these three banquets of krautrock supremacy aren't as good as their companies, and if you see the rating for this review then you might know what that album is.

You Know FaUSt is in many similarities with its predecessor of Rien, being a mix of more industrial rock workings mixed with krautrock, however it plays a more Faust Tapes swing of things, as opposed to Rien's more debut feel. I say this as less of an optimistic point of light, as I find this album to be very dissatisfactory.

Starters, there are a lot of filler tracks that muddies up this album. Whilst Faust Tapes were forgivable in that regard as it was practically a compilation of demos and tracks Faust made, I find You Know FaUSt to be very much less forgiving in that department since now these short snippets of noise are here as a deliberate choice from the band, and not by some company. I have said this before, but I dislike the more musique concrète side of Faust, unless the musique concrète is utilized within a song without muddying it up too much, like what they did on the first LP. I personally prefer the actual krautrock stuff, the interesting jams, and the psychedelic affairs; the stuff that makes Faust such a strong krautrock band for me. Whilst you do certainly get such, you are more likely to encounter these short winded experiments before you get into the real meat and potatoes this album may hold.

Speaking of such, the meat and potatoes here are pretty weak. If you do not count the short experiments, you get 10 whole tracks to go through, and each of them are certainly good but a bit?by numbers, which is very odd for Faust. While they may be a bit newer in scope as they now have a more industrial, and sometimes more shoegaze type feel, they feel just like stuff they have been doing for a long time now, to where I feel like they are a bit washed up. For example, the big jam on here, Na Sowas, is a pretty good track, but it feels kind of like a carbon copy of Listen To The Fish rather than an actual original song. A loud krautrock jam that dips into droning ambience, but without really the style and grace that Listen To The Fish gave.

Additionally some of the faults of the tracks may be due to the mixing, as the mixes on these tracks are a bit too loud and noisy. The 90s marked the start of records in rock being a lot noisier, and not in a noise rock kind of way. This loudness war, as people dubbed it, only really peaked in the early 2000s with groups like Rush getting a bit of a short end of the stick in regards to the volume of the mixes. Faust here definitely got that short stick too, as each song feels like they should not be so noisy. I mean, listen to Teutentango for example, it is just very poorly mixed and so noisy that I can barely think. Each song here feels like they shouldn't be so loud, but they simply just are for no real reason other than loud?rocking albums were pretty hot at the time with nu metal and grunge being at an all time high. There is a remedy to this though, and it is Cendre, which is a pretty great track on here. You never quite hear an acoustic song on a Faust album, so having one, even here, is a nice change of pace. Plus I think it's a pretty song.

Honestly if this album was just a tad worse I might be willing to give it a 1.5 or lower, but even with noise complaints most of the actual songs are pretty good. The title certainly doesn't lie, I do know Faust with this record, and that is the problem. I do not want to know Faust when I listen to an album of theirs. I want to hear something new that they've been cooking up, and not repeats of stuff they know how to cook up. I don't want to know Faust, I want to experience Faust, and You Know FaUSt doesn't give me the true Faust experience I am looking for. Certainly, Faust must've felt the same way, as later records prove they themselves don't want to know Faust. I definitely advise skipping this one if you are interested in Faust's 90s catalog, as their other works that decade are a lot better.

Best tracks: Cendre, Liebeswehen 2, Hurricane

Worst tracks: Irons, Elektron 2, L'Oiseau
