The origin story of our new music world
Although the image says "Future Days: Krautrock and the Building of a Modern Germany" the final title was "Future Days: Krautrock and the Birth of a Revolutionary New Music" because that is exactly what this is.
A submersive read into the remarkable rebirth of German music, Future Days tells the story of psychedelia in Germany. But psychedelia in Germany was unlike any other "hippie" movement at the time. This was a culture that had to completely rebuild from the ground up.It is the story of well-off youth, to be sure, but ones that had to completely rethink music. And so, techno was born.
The compelling soundtrack to today's modern age, techno is propulsive, structured, and never-ending. Techno is the internet. The "motorik" beat designed by Krautrock and its synthetic sound surrounds our everyday life in every way.
Read about how it was created, the eccentrics that argue about it still, and the completely foreign world in which it was born.
