Examples of use of Krautrock
1. My travels through southern Armenia in 2003 put me in touch with Iran‘s progressive trio Kahtmayan, whose violent marriage of krautrock, the French Zeuhl music of Magma, and early Metallica contains samples of US pilots‘ radio communiqués as they prepared to attack northern Iraq.
2. It happened to me on the last day, when I chanced upon a 45–minute performance by the Earlies, a collection of Texan and Mancunian musicians whose specialism, put crudely, is a fairly glorious melange of Krautrock–esque electronics and repetition, Pink Floyd–ish pastoralism and Californian harmony.
3. You can hear echoes of European techno – bizarrely enough, Konono No 1‘s amplified likembes sound not unlike Underworld‘s 1''4 hit Rez – and rock: their repetitiousness brings Krautrock to mind, their rhythms are pure Bo Diddley and the sheer intensity of their sound recalls White Light/White Heat–era Velvet Underground.
