So, krautrock. I suspect most of us have a mental image of what krautrock should sound like, but it's odd because as Stuart Maconie succinctly pointed out "in truth, no two Krautrock acts sound remotely alike". The very term krautrock itself sticks in my craw, but for whatever reason, the alternative - less offensive - …
News from the Conning Tower: t.r. hand
