Reviews"Reveals to Anglophone listeners a generation of musicians wading through the legacy of fascism [. . .] revelatory and propulsively arranged." - The New York Times "If you would like to know about some of the genre's key players' aspirations and motivations for their work then I can highly recommend this book to you." - Michael Rother, Neu, Harmonia, Kraftwerk "In Neu Klang , Christoph Dallach has not only perfectly investigated and narrated the Faust Story, but also captured, understood and presented the entire Krautrock saga in all its crazy diversity. A book which all krautrock fans should read." - Jean-Hervé Péron, Faust "Christoph succeeds to capture the common spirit of awakening of a bunch of very different musicians with very different concepts." - Irmin Schmidt, CAN, 'Neu Klang provides a valuable set of first-hand accounts [of Krautrock].' - Ludovic Hunter-Tiley, Financial Times 'Neu Klang is laudably ambitious in scope.' - Poppie Platt, The Telegraph

SynopsisThe first ever oral-history of Krautrock, the sound that changed modern music. The unique and adventurous sounds that German bands like Can, Neu! or Kraftwerk produced in post-war 60s Germany, now known as Krautrock, are considered a blueprint for modern rock music. And the stream of their cre-ative admirers and continuators has been constantly widening since the first fans like David Bowie and Iggy Pop. In Neu Klang, Christoph Dallach inter-viewed its pioneers and their answers combine to form an oral history that points far beyond the individual band histories., West Germany, 1968. Like everywhere else in the Western world still suffering the after-effects of WWLL, the youth are pushing for radical change and the music to soundtrack the movement. The unique and adventurous sounds that German bands like CAN, Neu!, Amon Duul, Tangerine Dream, Faust or Kraftwerk produced, now known as Krautrock, are considered a blueprint for modern rock music. In Neu Klang, Christoph Dallach interviewed its pioneers, and their answers combine to form an oral history that points far beyond the individual band histories: on the one hand, into the past, to Nazi teachers, post-war parental homes, terrorism, drugs and long hair-but just as much into the global recognition of the future.
