Fucking hipsters! Let's get this back to radiohead! I'll be downloading tonight...can't wait.

Burnwinter

Thanks, that looks interesting.

I gather there was pretty significant inspiration from krautrock (mostly Kraftwerk though) in early hip-hop. I remember an interview from an old doco with one of the Furious Five guys who talked about cranking out Kraftwerk at block parties in the 70s.

Yep, let's stop talking about Aphex Twin, krautrock, John Cale and just get back to the famous act everyone knows that ripped them all off: Radiohead. 😉

Don't know about Krautrock in general but Kraftwerk were definitely a big influence on early hip hop. With a few exceptions the genre doesn't really start until around 1993 for me though. 🙂

Best music I have listened to out of Germany is Helloween and Rammstein. Then again, I haven't heard of most of the bands you two hipsters are talking about.

Daz

I knew I could rely on you Rexy. Dad rockers of OMIT unite!!

Rex

Rock on, dude! 🙂

Saw Rammstein live ages and ages ago (must have been about 2000).

One of the gigs with all the fireworks, burning guitars and instruments, burning arrows being shot into the crowd etc, where the keyboardist simulated fellatio on the lead singer, whose enormous plastic dildo subsequently "ejaculated" everywhere.

Actually that's probably all their gigs.

Must admit it was quite a fun show, I wasn't a fan in the slightest but everyone knew their big hits, Du Hast, Engel, Links 2,3,4 etc.

Just had my first listen to A moon shaped pool. Really good and only going to sound better once I get a chance to play it on my stereo.

Not a fan of their music at all but even if I were this type of shit alone would put me off. And yes that's all of their gigs.

The fascism is probably worse to be fair.

jones

Rammstein are shit but they aren't fascists, their band members are reportedly quite left leaning. You're forgiven for thinking they are though as they clearly coquet with völkisch symbolism and props in their videos, reckon it's mostly for shock value and because it sells.

Burnwinter

Yeah, fair enough, that is a precise description of what they're doing.

I remember going to see Lost In Translation at the movies, and coming out with this classic pop song stuck in my head for days.

Burnwinter

Coldplay are actually better than Radiohead. Discuss.
