Today, the Spotlight shines On author Christoph Dallach, who joins us to discuss his book Neu Klang: The Definitive History of Krautrock (Faber & Faber, 2024). Christoph has spent years tracking down the pioneers who spent the late 1960s in West Germany's basements and practice rooms, creating sounds unlike anything else in rock and roll.Through conversations with members of bands like Can, Kraftwerk, and Tangerine Dream, Christoph uncovers how these artists shaped a distinctly German sound in the shadow of World War II. It's a story of cultural rebirth told by the musicians who lived it.
A veteran music journalist who has interviewed everyone from Bob Dylan to Taylor Swift, Christoph brings fresh insight to this pivotal moment in music history.
