"Unlike punk or hip hop, Krautrock — quite sarcastically labelled so by the British press — does not follow a set formula. In fact, it relies on its lack of formula to be the common thread linking all of the below bands and artists together. Within these albums, we are invited to visions of the future and lessons from the past; we're given drones, synths, heavy rock riffs and a sense of freedom that was intoxicating then and is inspiring now.
That's the real legacy of Krautrock. Despite its position on the edge of mainstream, it has inspired countless artists across the years with unadulterated artistry. Instilling within listeners that, above all else, music should allow one to be free. In these records below, there is an untouchable sense of release."
