Various – Silberland Vol 1: The Psychedelic Side of Kosmische Musik

‘Silberland’ is a new compilation series from Hamburg based label, Bureau B, charting the sonic experiments from German artists in the Seventies and Eighties who pioneered the sound now known as ‘krautrock’. Features music from Faust, Cluster, Hans-Joachim Roedelius and many more. Several tracks are edited significantly from their original run times, but this whittling down makes space for more music and might be easier on the attention spans of those just getting acquainted with more obscure early electronic sounds. Ultimately, the compilation is perfect for just that -- offering a fantastic primer for anyone interested in going a little bit deeper down the Krautrock and early synthesizer music rabbit hole.
