Various Artists - Deutsche Elektronische Musik: Experimental German Rock and Electronic Musik 1971-83 - Volume 2

As well as the original pioneers, 'Deutsche Elektronische Musik 2' features many of the second wave of German electronic artists and groups from the late '70s and early '80s, who successfully connected new wave, minimal synth and a European post-punk avant-gardism with the earlier more established krautrock pioneers who began at the start of the '70s. Influenced as much by the electronic experimentalism of Stockhausen as the progressive rock of USA and UK underground rock, young German artists seamlessly created a new music with its own unique identity, which they ironically entitled krautrock. By the end of the 1970's, with the arrival of new wave synthetics and complex drum machines, this music had mutated once again into new electronic visions reflecting a new Germany.
