Early
70s German rock music, krautrock was sort of the german answer to
psychedelic rock, with more of an
amphetamine,
Velvet Underground-like driving sound. Bands include
Faust,
Can,
Cluster,
Neu! and early
Kraftwerk, though they later went on to more of the beep-boop type electronic sound. Krautrock is probably most known for its influence on later music, notably
Abba,
Brian Eno, and
David Bowie in the period he recorded Low and Heroes.
