"this guy from the bronx sampled kraftwerk once" cool man

I got lots of KRAFTWERK or TANGERINE DREAM Album since I was a Child of 5 years old in 1974, hearded them on Radio . Now I am 49 and still a Fan of Krautrock . I forgot NEU and others .They changed my live UNCONSCIOUSLY IN DEPTH

They had me 'til they forgot to add the umlauts over the paired "U"s in Amon Düül at the end of this video!

I love that Paperhouse is playing in the background at 5:31.

Its seems today mor popular to diss people if they are different than to listen and open your mind to what they have to say. For me it was touching and informative.

Beautifully made. A distillation of Krautrock and its influences without dwelling on the historical details (which are interesting of course!)

The DIIV podcast brought me here.

Why does this feel like Tim Armstrong is telling the class about a book he read this summer

Born out of the ashes of post-World War II, Germany came with one of the most original and influential genres in musical history, Krautrock. Watch More Episodes of *Under The Influence*: bit.ly/1PBJwub

More awesome stuff. Can't wait for the next one.

Can is hands down one of my FAVORITE bands of all time. Bunch of my old friends got together last weekend and ate some 🍄's, was their first time hearing Can - Ege Bamyasi, Tango Mango; Glad I got to introduce it to them at that heightened auditory sense. If it's anything like when I heard them tripping for the first time, they'll never hear music quite the same again.

I'm really enjoying this series.

Thank You for this Upload !!! Very beautiful Documentary !!!!

Great episode! Krautrock influenced me to no end from 1974 on...Thanks!

This video is insanely good thank u noisey!

That was great.

I've seen just about every music documentary on KZfaq. It took me 15 minutes to find this, but it was well worth it. I just wish I wasn't running out of music documentaries to watch

Several waves of innovative music have their origin in post-war Germany. First, schlager - schmalzy songs sung by truly adapted mostly German singers & singstresses, with the audience happily clapping away & feeling happy. This was a musical movement with its roots in the 3rd reich, where Goebbels gave the order to create 'German feelgood music' - schlager was the result of this. Second, electronic classical music - Karl Heinz Stockhausen, Hans Werner Hentze et al. created new musical dimensions never heard before. Third, Krautrock - an experimental movement to create something new and independent from English and American trends, a unique German sound. Krautrock is probably the most creative musical period in German musical history, radically breaking ties with tradition and constantly innovating. Fourth, in the 80ies the Neue Deutsche Welle redefined Schlager, merged it with Dancefloor & electronic music and created an alternative German-sung song repertoire. Fifth, rock - global phenomena like Scorpions or Rammstein brought German-made and German-speaking rock music into the world. Sixth, not uniquely German, but also: modern Jazz & Blues - Alexis Korner, Volkef Kriegel, Albert Mangelsdorff, Peter Herbholzheimer, all excellent musicians in their own right. Last not least, the King of Easy Listening: James ' Hansi' Last & band who played everything a la Big Band that they could get hold of. Did I forget anything apart from our great classical composers ?

I was on psychedelic Rock, Can was so particular and changed perception of music also Public Image was a favourite and got similarities.

I think Tim is a great narrator, rather have someone with a unique voice than someone with a boring, plain and proper voice. Hearing him trying to say those German band names at the end is hilarious though.

Nice doc, this is why I like noisey and vice.

8:18 we get inspirations from music from many different fields, lol; nicely edited.

great upload, I'm always learning to appreciate different views on music, very enjoyable and superb music, :)

nice documentary enjoyed it never have been familiar with many German bands but am familiar with a few mentioned here so I am excited to check out some of these and more

Wonderful documentary. It's great to hear peple with passion talk about the things they love, and the presentation of both krautrock itself and the musicians inspired by it was excellent. The narrator was neat. Here we are talking about exploring new sounds, trying different things and people just want the movie trailer voiceover. Pfff...

another quality show, highly educational

An "Iron curtain known as the Berlin Wall"??? This hasn't got off to a very good start!

great doc if you don't want to learn anything about Krautrock other than it passed from rich German hippies to rich American hipsters

I'm sorry, because I think I may have already addressed this once before, but honest to God, how anybody didn't listen back to Tim Armstrong's stroke-victim-sounding narration tracks and immediately just set fire to them is beyond reason.

great docu! thanks :)

Excellent!

This is great.

If you came here for Cole Smith: 15:10

Very nice!

Wow, i´ve never watched a documentary less informative...good job noisey.

People don't even know who the narrator is and don't understand that that's how Tim talks and makes a living through his music career...

I love Can.

Nice and interesting documentary. Most previous commentaries have complaints about it. I have none.

The iron curtain was the border between east and west Germany. The Berlin wall,as the name suggests, was around that part of the east German city of Berlin occupied by the west

When I was 7yesrs old I would get terrible head migraines I played a record that had a skip the repetition of this skip put me in a altered state It was 53 years ago at 7 thought about an lp of locked grooves Ahead of my time with no influence 1969 the original thought of a kid with a migraine.

Ok, I was initially disappointed with this documentary, as it’s not very in-depth about the roots and history of Krautrock. As an indication of who it’s influenced, and where it’s going, I love it!

very cool! i love kraut bands like eloy amd ash.ra tempel. nice to see some.history recorded it its musique concrete aspect

oh yes, and Jaki Liebezeit was the machine that drove Krautrock!

A NEU! track called 'Super' from 1973 was used in the opening credits of kung-fu classic 'The Master of the Flying Guillotine', and it's punk as fuck.

Listen up. Follaczoid and a number of other bands seem to have a real scene going in Chile connected to labels in new york, amsterdam , london. Well worth researching.

I've been listening to Chui Wan after this. I really like them.

omg lol at the dude from diiv failing at playing the neu! beat.

should have spoken to members of Stereolab!

More "Under The Influence" pretty please.

Good stuff. :-)

3:51 I remember that graffiti in 2013. And how I thought it illustrated my life then. Dark times.

RIP jaki liebezeit

VOCAL FRY ALL OVER THIS

👍🏿 Subtitulos en español 😎 *!please!*

i didn't think i would enjoy this, but it did. and what that chinese guy said at the end about krautrock influencing psych rock, i would have to agree. also, that comment at the beginning about the beat feeling like an endless road, i was thinking that same thing. it's interesting how a "beat" can be considered a genre, because many different bands from different "genres" have used that same driving beat in their songs. there's this band called Jagwar Ma, i guess they're kind of like krautrock, but with melodic influences like the Beach Boys. check 'em out

As someone who has had the great fortune of working with people who've collaborated with Stockhausen (and had the great fortune of speaking with Holger Czukay and Michael Rother as well), I didn't really 'learn' anything in this documentary that I didn't know already...however-THIS DOCUMENTARY ISN'T FOR THOSE WHO KNOW! This documentary is prepared for those who NEED to know their history. Boiled down and condensed (of course), but it gives the viewer just learning about the influences a place to start exploring. I'd rather see something like this aimed at millennials than an exploration into why (insert name of current favorite sons) are so 'cool.' If you're part of a generation that grew up listening to this wonderful work (and being influenced by it), this video won't serve you. But it does serve to illustrate that old saying in musicology that 'everything comes from somewhere.'

In English bands I think that the influence of krautrock is most apparent in postpunk bands such as Joy Division, Cabaret Voltaire, OMD.

Why is so difficult to understand that this serie is called "under the influence" and not "true (name of the genre)"

wow. amazing documentary. anyone knows what the last song playing is?

deconstruct to construct !

The BBC Krautrock Rebirth of Germany doco is an hour long and so much better.

God bless the Germans. A beautiful people. My fav krautrock band is Harmonia

What song is that please at 28:03 please its awesome

4:28 What a cheerful couple of young lads

Unsuprisingly, we like Neu! :-)

"let's do a documentary on 'Krautrock'!" "Ok!" "we can't get hold of hardly anyone from real bands from then." "Eh....just interview a bunch of hipsters on how much they love 'Krautrock' That ought to do."

I LOVE that they have the band Interpol representing the "modern" krautrock! They truly are amazing.

Not to mention the primary influence of modern techno music

Quatwock

Hahahha. People really dont get that Tim Armstrong was chosen for a reason?? Tims voice is like why 85% of Rancid fans liked Rancid so much. His voice is unique and fun. I mean.... you could have Johnny Depp narrate this with his semi-deep voice, but why not have a new narrator with dyslexia? I think its dope!

RIP Damo 😖

Why does Tim Armstrong talk like Dr Steve Brul?

So THAT'S what it sounds like when a San Franciscan tries to sound like a New Yorker or a Bostonian? blimey...

More Kessler.

9:37 sick beat

17:24 what's that instrument?

anyone know the backing track to the intro? thanks.

welche band hat den Eingangstrack aufgenommen (schlagzeug klingt wie bei CAN ) der Rest eher nicht. Der beginnt wenn er sagt before there was music, there was only a beat

👍👍👍👍👍

What song is playing at 14:38 ?

There is a possible mistake in the description saying Hop Hop i'm sure you meant hip hop but i could be wrong...

Brilliant film. This captures the essence of the Kraut rock scene, in a limited time frame. That being said, I would recommend that interested parties check out Romantic Warriors, Part IV. It covers similar ground, but in a more detailed manner. You won't regret it!

i dig Tims grit

whats the opening track?

KREAM

void of all spirit.

Everything has changed and become so commercially driven since 2015 when this video was made, if those contemporary Krautrock artists that were featured were released now, no one would care

correct the problem with the CC please!!!!!

whats taking so long for the next under the influence?

What's the name of the effekt 'instrument' at 17:14?

This was so fucking good! Jaki Liebezeit is the godfather of the breakbeat.

What's the song over the intro? Sounds like Neu?

Great doc, when Tim isn't trying to speak.

what's with the student's salute at @5:05?

Does anyone know of a camera program that guy used to make his visuals? Thanks
