Under The Influence - Krautrock
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 05. 2015
- From the ashes of World War II arose one of the most original and influential movements in musical history, Krautrock. A generation of German musicians embraced their country's cultural blank slate and a new technological future; deconstructing pop music and spawning some of today's best electronic, Hop Hop, and experimental rock and roll. Jeff Tweedy (Wilco), Daniel Kessler (Interpol), Dan Deacon, Zachary Cole Smith (DIIV), members of Can, Neu!, and more take us through this unique genre's history and possible future.

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
"this guy from the bronx sampled kraftwerk once"
cool man
He did not even sample them... hah
When talking about the influence the genre had on the posterior musical world, talking about how it influenced even early hip hop pioneers is not out of place.
The DIIV podcast brought me here.
Same lol
what podcast?
@@blazsovdat8677 they have a podcast they’ve been doing for a few months. It’s on Spotify
Fate brought me here, because there was nowhere else to go.
i had seen this before but they reminded me of it.
but they need to put out more episodes dammit
Beautifully made. A distillation of Krautrock and its influences without dwelling on the historical details (which are interesting of course!)
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.
They had me 'til they forgot to add the umlauts over the paired "U"s in Amon Düül at the end of this video!
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.

Noisey Are there going to be anymore?
+Noisey Bloody good.
D
I love that Paperhouse is playing in the background at 5:31.
Wow, i´ve never watched a documentary less informative...good job noisey.
you're overreacting. good job.
🙄🙄🙄
That was great.
do you have any krautrock vinyls myke?
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.
the name of the album is Tago Mago
@@Jardinserpent Right. The name of the Tango Mango album is in fact, Tango Mango. And Ege Bamyasi's album is named "Ege Bamyasi".
@@generationrx7454lol, is that autocorrect there? No matter, I'm glad that you're a longtime Can fan
great doc if you don't want to learn anything about Krautrock other than it passed from rich German hippies to rich American hipsters
An "Iron curtain known as the Berlin Wall"??? This hasn't got off to a very good start!
Yeah, I find myself genuinely wondering if this narrator has had a stroke at some point in his life 🤨
eh eh eh...
What exactly is wrong with the statement?
@@thevinyltruffle Seriously? They are two completely different things! "The Iron Curtain" had absolutely nothing to do with the Berlin Wall. Whoever made that statement knows next to nothing about 20th century European history.
yobhsiFehT not a stroke, but he did OD a couple of times. Check out his band, Rancid.
More awesome stuff. Can't wait for the next one.
I'm really enjoying this series.
I've seen just about every music documentary on CZcams. 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
Edward Bliss very cool of you my dude !
It seems to come and go from CZcams every so often, but if you can catch In Search Of Blind Joe Death: The Saga Of John Fahey, I thought it was great.
Great episode!
Krautrock influenced me to no end from 1974 on...Thanks!
Why does this feel like Tim Armstrong is telling the class about a book he read this summer
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.
***** Yet society gets mad at people for not trying. Could it be your mindset that makes people stop doing things out of fear of what others will say that holds them back. Luckily Tim seems to have a thinker skin and many people who support him.
Ricky X oh shit.. that was so funny at the end - l laughed so hard at the notable pause before "klause schnitzler", it sounded like they had to jumpcut through every band name.
I was on psychedelic Rock, Can was so particular and changed perception of music also Public Image was a favourite and got similarities.
Thank You for this Upload !!!
Very beautiful Documentary !!!!
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...
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...
great upload, I'm always learning to appreciate different views on music, very enjoyable and superb music, :)
This video is insanely good thank u noisey!
8:18 we get inspirations from music from many different fields, lol; nicely edited.
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 ?
Thank you! This was very informative :)
Techno was influenced and prepared by Krautrock, before repetetive drum beats in new wave , especially Joy Division heavily influenced by Krautrock leading to electro pop and then techno, which came out of Germany too. The influence spread worldwide..
another quality show, highly educational
Nice doc, this is why I like noisey and vice.
should have spoken to members of Stereolab!
And broadcast
Why? They were English and put out records starting in the 90's. Other than they were a carbon copy of Neu! two decades after it happened with some added female vocals they had absolutely nothing to do with Krautrock.
I love Stereolab and I dont think they were copycats at all, they very cleverly assembled different features from different music styles BUT would i like to see them or Broadcast on this documentary? Absolutely NOT!! It's really annoying to see contemporary bands among the oldschool, as if there werent enough infos or anecdotes about Schnitzler, Neu! or Faust... Or less know masterpieces like AR & Machines "Die'Grune Reise" or Sand's "Golem"
@@deathmetaldouglas69 this is pretty ignorant, I don't think you listen to very much stereolab
@@surike Wrong. Seen them live three times and have heard almost all their albums. Will concede later material not sounding much like Neu! (who I don't think you have listened to AT all) or krautrock which proves my original point.
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.
2:30 “…or as the genre’s mor pohply known: Krawrah.”
great docu! thanks :)
very cool! i love kraut bands like eloy amd ash.ra tempel. nice to see some.history recorded it its musique concrete aspect
omg lol at the dude from diiv failing at playing the neu! beat.
innocenceandwrath when he tried doing the saw thing... he's just failing at trying to make concrete musique aproachs... he looks like he's doing it just to be experimental, not like he's at work... it's a different attitude and approach than kozmische musicians had
Nice and interesting documentary. Most previous commentaries have complaints about it. I have none.
Excellent!
This is great.
Great doc, when Tim isn't trying to speak.
baphomick Tim has a speech impediment let us not make fun of those with disabilities that's whack! Not trolling, The more you know!..(:
+Jerr Renik sure but what jackass gave the guy with the speach impediment the speaking job
Jerr Renik I didn't know he had a speaks impediment. Always wondered why he sounded weird while singing. Makes sense now.
baphomick I love the way tim speaks
@@jerrrenik6445 thought it was a dialectical accent personally.
If you came here for Cole Smith: 15:10
Mr. Mellow you know me !
Very nice!
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.
what other bands? do tell 🙏
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.
That's why I remember that song I was born in 85 and am From from NYC. But my MOM loooved kung fu flix( movies) growing up in the 70's one of her favorites of all was the flying guillotine. She still have all her original VHS tapes ( kungfu) 😆
I've been listening to Chui Wan after this. I really like them.
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
I LOVE that they have the band Interpol representing the "modern" krautrock! They truly are amazing.
Lmaooooo Interpol krautrock sad!
interpol? krautrck wtf.............
I love Can.
oh yes, and Jaki Liebezeit was the machine that drove Krautrock!
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!
It's dope like stupid. rancid is slow like this guy's brain
Hahahha. Some people (you) don't get that singing in a punk band and narrating a documentary just MIGHT require different speaking skills. Lint sounds like he got baked and stuffed his mouth full of Funyuns right before they hit "record."
@@vargaso More like a mouthful of dicks
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.
wow. amazing documentary. anyone knows what the last song playing is?
More "Under The Influence" pretty please.
VOCAL FRY ALL OVER THIS
hhahhhaahaa
There is a possible mistake in the description saying Hop Hop i'm sure you meant hip hop but i could be wrong...
It's for one legged rap duos.
What song is that please at 28:03 please its awesome
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!
anyone know the backing track to the intro? thanks.
Why is so difficult to understand that this serie is called "under the influence" and not "true (name of the genre)"
It is quite simple to read and understand !!
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
In English bands I think that the influence of krautrock is most apparent in postpunk bands such as Joy Division, Cabaret Voltaire, OMD.
First and foremost 'Stereolab' in terms of motorik-rhythms
17:24 what's that instrument?
seems like a longer and safer version of a singing saw
What's the name of the song that comes in @ 20:20 when caveman appears?
Anybody? plz?
looks kinda epic
+Psicosomatic men Caveman - A Country's King of Dreams
Does anyone know of a camera program that guy used to make his visuals? Thanks
Bridgitte Amaut There are a few different apps to stream from iphone camera into Syphon over wifi, this was Epoccam Multicam, there is also Airbeam. Then run via Syphon into Modul8 or VDMX.
Good stuff.
:-)
What song is playing at 14:38 ?
3:51 I remember that graffiti in 2013. And how I thought it illustrated my life then. Dark times.
"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."
dumbass they literally did interview members?????
Yeah, this video was a disappointment. They interviewed very few German bands.
exactly
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
4:28 What a cheerful couple of young lads
these are kids that grew up in cellars in the bomb war you moron
Does anyone know the song that plays during the intro?
Anyone know what song is playing at around the 26 minute mark?
👍🏿 Subtitulos en español 😎 *!please!*
What's the song over the intro? Sounds like Neu?
I thought it was blacksabbath
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.'

What's the name of the effekt 'instrument' at 17:14?
It's a saw
So THAT'S what it sounds like when a San Franciscan tries to sound like a New Yorker or a Bostonian? blimey...
It's a speech impediment and dyslexia fucker
He forgets and breaks character at some points lol.
Do you have any idea who is narrating it?
oldmarmot “breaks character.” Do you have any fuckin idea who that is narrating?
Stfu english pansy
This was so fucking good!
Jaki Liebezeit is the godfather of the breakbeat.
No he’s not. He’s an amazing drummer and musician but not the godfather of the breakbeat.
@@xouat Wrong!
@@chromepanther9612 ok, bud.
@@xouat 😘
@@chromepanther9612 🥰
whats the opening track?
what was the music at 29:11?
God bless the Germans. A beautiful people. My fav krautrock band is Harmonia
Thank you -we need it , especially right now...
Best part was watching cole record. I could just watch/listen yo him talk all day. Also can't wait for is the is are. It's gonna be DIIV'S Nevermind.
22:54 This bullshit needs to stop..you were a toddler in the 80's.
+Michael Cullen Ha!!! it's an OK doc,, but most of their choices for the "modern influence" peeps are "some sort of "pitchfork darlings"... the girl band your maching has NOTHING to do with Krautrock...
it's seriously fucking surprising the irritating Oneohtrix Point Never is not in this--
Steve Roach, Robert Rich, The Orb, FSOL, DeadMau5 ? all missing,, and far far more a direct influence
than the hipster pitchfork choices
even Mars Volta and all their off shoots: Eureka The Butcher, Zechs Marquise, far far more important
Noisey is way up it's own ass .... A LOT!!!
oh wait,,
I guess all these people were cheaper than the real stories,, typical independent docs
rammstien would have worked better as would have ministry.
6:55 what song is can playing?
correct the problem with the CC please!!!!!
anyone maybe knows the song which starts at 9:10???
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!
setlist please
deconstruct to construct !
Not to mention the primary influence of modern techno music
👍👍👍👍👍
RIP jaki liebezeit
what's the first song called?
what's with the student's salute at @5:05?
