Rear cover notes: The rise of experimental music in (West) Germany since the 1960s is unrivalled, and its influence can be found in nearly all forms of modern music. This fertile scene, of which the core is commonly known as Krautrock, bridged psychedelia, new forms of fusion, ethnic/world-music, kosmische musik, electronic music, etc., and is full of surprises.
A veritable cornucopia of delights, almost every groundbreaking new form of music flourished in Germany, and it didn't stop with the 1970s.
In this new DVD-rom edition we explore the history and all the bands and artists that made this happen.
All completely revised, and with tons of new sections and features, it’s an engrossing read.

The rom comes in a snazzy sealed digipak, as pictured. The additional 8 images shown are screen shots from the rom in use.

Important: This is not a printed book. It is a DVD-rom with files in html format. The rom was created on a Windows 10 PC, and is compatible with all known Windows based html browsers. It will also work on Apple / MAC systems, and other html compatible devices.
It should auto-run on some systems. If not, then simply locate "run.html" and double click.
