Deutsche Elektronische Musik 4
This new Soul Jazz release features many of the classic German electronic and Krautrock groups from the 1970s & 80s - including Can, Amon Düül II, Harmonia, Conrad Schnitzler, Agitation Free, Roedelius - as well as a host of lesser known artists such as Dzyan, Klaus Weiss, Gruppe Between and many more. The album also features an array of heavy and progressive German cosmic rock groups - Dzyan, Virus and the amazing Turkish/German tripped out sound of Alex's 'Patella Black', recorded at Can's Inner Space in 1973, produced by Holger Czukay and Jackie Liebezeit. Deutsche Elektronische 4 comes with extensive newly commissioned sleevenotes by David Stubbs, author of the seminal books 'Future Days: Krautrock and the building of Modern Germany', 'Mars By 1980: The story of Electronic Music', and 'Krautrock: Cosmic Rock and its Legacy'.
