"Progressive Rock from Germany! Towards the end of the 1960s, German bands began their first attempts to emancipate themselves stylistically from their US and British role models. Prog rock and psychedelia from our country were initially smiled at internationally and disparagingly called 'Krautrock' by cult DJ John Peel, among others. Unorthodox formations could not be pigeonholed, and so a scene with a wide musical range was created. With the release of the first of a total of four issues, Bear Family marks another milestone on the way to a comprehensive documentation of the history of popular music in Germany from the early 1960s to the mid-1980s.
Smash! Boom! Bang!
covers the complete history of Beat music in Germany on a total of 30 individual CDs; the CD documentation
Für wen wir singen -- Liedermacher in Deutschland
, consisting of four triple-CDs, describes the singer/songwriter scene with 274 individual songs, supplemented by the 10 CD box set
Die Burg Waldeck Festivals 1964-1969
. And finally,
Aus grauer Städte Mauern - Die Neue Deutsche Welle 1997-1985
, Bear Family's four-part double-CD series with popular and weird sound examples and a total of about 600(!) pages of accompanying text. With
Teil 1 Kraut! Die Innovativen Jahre des Krautrock 1968-1979
we will release a double-CD every three months in 2020 with a booklet of about 100 pages and biographies of each band, an exquisite selection of the exciting and influential bands of those days, some of which caused a sensation far beyond Germany." Booklet is German language only.
