Deutsche Elektronische Musik - Seite 2 by Evil Presidentes published on 2022-05-25T20:19:36Z It was only by the late 1960s, after West Germany’s commercial and industrial infrastructure had long been rebuilt that a generation was at last able to query the wilful amnesia of their elders, some of whom still occupied positions of power (also in America) despite being implicated in the Third Reich. All of this added an extra dimension to the sudden blossoming of pop and rock worldwide in the late 1960s, of which West Germany were as enthusiastic consumers as anyone. For many musicians, this simply meant imitating or doing cover versions of the work of acclaimed Anglo-American artists. For many young West Germans, this meant lapping up the works of rock behemoths like The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Cream, Zappa & the Stones. Other musicians, however, were deeply conscious of the need to create musical forms and hybrids that rejected the templates set down by the ‘cultural occupying force’ of the Brits/Yanks who maintained a strong military presence in the country. Hence the coincidental, diverse groups popping up all over West Germany, who were all like-minded in their urge to start from scratch, thus creating new forms unspotted by their dreadful past and antithetical to the banal, head-in-the-sands kitsch of ‘schlager’ – the traditional German music. Paradoxically, these West German musicians engaged in the quest for inspiration or for jumping-off points; Jazz, Hendrix, UK Prog Rock, Turkish Funk, South American rhythms. The point of this ‘new music’ was to take a journey – weather it was to the interior forested heartlands of Germany, the dormant depths of its soul, or to the farthermost points of East or West, this filtered through the dire German post-war experience. It delved into the realm of electronics and the future offered was one of speculative, anti-nostalgia hope. All of the artists on this mixtape were in some way or other touched by this spirit, this quest of self (re) discovery. They may have had conventional upbringings – but all set out on their own, long and winding roads. 1. LUSTWANDEL – ROEDELIUS 2. MORGENGRUSS – POPUL VUH 3. DAYDREAM – ASH RA TEMPEL 4.
