Can

This week's show focuses on some of the experimental/psychedelic rock that came from Germany in the 1970's, a phenomenon dubbed "Krautrock". Taking musicalchemical inspiration from bands such as the Pink Floyd, the Velvet Underground and the Soft Machine, as well as from new musical technology, bands such as Can, Neu!, Faust and Kraftwerk created forward-thinking music that departed from the blues-based templates of their British and American contemporaries and set the foundations for a whole host of different styles: the influence of many of these bands can be heard throughout hip-hop, punk, electronic, dance, and post-rock scenes.
