Future days : Krautrock and the building of modern Germany
Stubbs, David, 1962-2014
Book
West Germany following the Second World War was a country in shock: estranged from its recent history, and adrift from the rest of Europe. But this disorientating landscape proved fertile ground for a generation of musicians who, from the 1960s onwards, would develop the experimental and various sounds that became known as Krautrock. They may not all have become household names, but the influence of their ruminative, expansive compositions upon Western popular music is incalculable. 'Future Days' is an in-depth study of this meditative, sometimes abstract, often very beautiful music and the groups that made it, throwing light on the social and political context that informed them.
