    Deutschland Über Alles

    Rising out of the ashes of the 2nd World War, Germany's youth rebelled against the old order with riots and music. The former was bloody, the latter was glorious. Making a conscious effort to break off the dominant Anglo-American Pop scene the German bands took the look and attitude of Rock and combined it with European Classical and Experimental sounds to create a groundbreaking and compelling sound whose quality and influence had a profound effect on music since. "Krautrock: The Rebirth of Germany" is a stellar documentary on the great music scene and features interviews with the movers and shakers of the movement with priceless footage of the music and the times. Luminaries like Can, Neu!, Faust, Kraftwerk, Amon Düül II, Tangerine Dream and Cluster are given proper representation including an always articulate and fun Iggy Pop sharing his memories on the music and its influence on him. Although the film ends abruptly and this is a genre that sure deserves longer coverage this is the best doc on Germany's greatest contribution to Popular Music. Yes, you limp-wristed pissant, there was more to Germany than the corporal with a funny moustache.
