It had been the year 1970
and a new word started to
conquere the world of music -
Krautrock.
Germany was the origin of this
new progressiv - psychadelic - sounds
which brought a special amusement,
far away from the tunes heard of before.
- A new generation of musicians started off.
My main interest was attracted by the drums made of
metal, which were absolute new at this time.
And it had been a double disc for the price of one.
Very much strange new music, to listen to for a
very long time.
Exactly - till now.
