CCRGMac Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I've been enjoying this "Under The Influence" series from Noisey, but why share the Krautrock edition here? Because Jeff and Spencer make an appearance (around 18:30) explaining how Spiders (Kidsmoke) is essentially a Krautrock track, and why. Watch for extra father:son cuteness (and subliminal Converse ads). Under The Influence - Krautrock There are further episodes covering Ska/Two Tone and Hardcore, with more to follow. Narrated by Tim Armstrong, a man who deserves some kind of lifetime achievement award for all he's done... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalafej Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 That was really cool. Thanks for posting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobDylan'sBeard Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I started listening to Kraftwerk after watching this, just to try them out. Wasn't really my bag, but totally see where Jeff was coming from when he explains the Krautrock influence in this video. Cool video series, also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You might want to give Neu! a listen, that is the band that was the inspiration for Spiders (Kidsmoke). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 yeah, Neu! is the bomb. Harmonia, too. and La Dusseldorf! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
billydee Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 If you want to hear something krautrock-ish go check out some Stereolab. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobDylan'sBeard Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I will check all of these bands out shortly, thanks for the suggestions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCRGMac Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 My suggestion? Start with Can - Tago Mago Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lost highway Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 All good choices. Neu 1 and Can Tago Mago are the ones I still listen to the most. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
