Floh de Cologne

After the great Fliesbandbabys Beat Show, this agitated german polit rock published the crazy and subversive Lucky Streik for narratives, radical musical instrumentations (made of trippy organ chords, moody pastoral flutes, agressive rockin' & folkish guitars, popular chants). This one has been recorded during live performances. It includes semi-structured songs with a great assortment of bizarre, satirical, provocative, radical political sketches in German accompanied by imaginative instrumental works largely dominated by heavy-fuzzy-psych-rockin arguments. The result is very personal and eccentric, admiting parallels with RIO's derives and experimental moments. An authentic musical curiosity with great anti- capitalist hymns…

6 CD-Set, the third volume of outstanding Krautrock that will surely do your head in… again! Krautrock was (and still is) a musical phenomenon that sprouted in Germany in the late '60s and early '70s. Combining elements of Psychedelia, Prog Rock, Art Rock and Avante Garde, Krautrock became a movement unto itself. This 64 track anthology features cuts from Birth Control, Nektar, Anyone's Daughter, Guru Guru, Eloy, Pell Mell, and many others.

During the first half af the 1970s, a number of West German musicians escaped the traditional rock influences of British and American bands and created a new way of making rock music. This movement-which involved a whole family of psychedelic, electronic, jazz, folk & rock styles without mainstream radio influence-came to be known as Krautrock. The Krautrock bands that pioneered this movement created something never heard before: They took the intense, untamed essence of the old gods of rock and roll, and infused it with a truly progressive and revolutionary spirit, spearheading the evolution of electronic music, techno, hip hop, ambient music, minimalism and avant-garde genres of music.
