New publication in Hannibal-Verlag by Henning Dedekind
FORTY YEARS AFTER 1968 piles of books on the subject appear. But when it comes to the music accompanying the revolt at the time, the reporting seems strangely blind - as if you had only heard Janis Joplin or the Rolling Stones at the time. At the same time, Germany developed its own and particularly idiosyncratic soundtrack for social upheaval. This music went down in the annals of pop history as Krautrock. And so it is high time for a musical forensic investigation.
From conversations with musicians and contemporary witnesses, this book creates a picture of a time in which music, politics and the lifestyle of an entire generation merged. That time was far more than just a footnote in music history; because at that time the foundation stone for the modern German music scene was laid.
