Four CD set exploring the thriving 1970s German Rock underground. Stellar line-up includes Tangerine Dream, Faust, Roedelius, Conrad Schnitzler, Popol Vuh, Edgar Froese, Cluster, Klaus Schulze, Guru Guru, Agitation Free And Many More. Complete With Extensive Travelogue Sleevenotes. Take a ticket, find yourself a comfortable seat and embark on a musical journey across the underground musical landscape of 1970s Germany... As the sound of the 1960s drifted off into outer space, open-minded musicians across Germany - East and West - forged their own unique path into the 1970s and beyond, strangely free of the overtly commercial and conformist concerns of their neighbours around Europe. Why this generation from this particular nation might be beyond giving a ficken is a topic for someplace else, but for reasons of their own Tangerine Dream, Popol Vuh, Faust, Conrad Schnitzler and their contemporaries sought not to explore the pop charts but the boundaries of inner space and intellectual curiosity, veering with wild and free abandon from rock to jazz to lengthy progressive wig outs and formative electronica in the process. Many never returned, lost and adrift on a sea of dope smoke and Moog arpeggios, but 'Electric Junk' nevertheless charts and documents their journey for future generations. Compiled and sequenced with your own journey into inner space in mind, we proudly present a remarkable snapshot of a movement like no other. Rebellious, politically charged, communal and lysergically informed, these artists took their non-macho, long-haired proto punk outlook around the world in it's many forms, finding favour throughout Europe, Asia and the US. Critical acclaim and the occasional hit were their rewards, alongside inadvertently inventing and influencing uncountable niche genres, questionable fashion statements and must-hear bands.
