Well, I managed to persuade a few adventurous people to sample some music from the Netherlands earlier this week, so now let's see if there are any takers for this fantastic track from the German group, FAUN.
Despite being in German, it's definitely got a Gaelic feel to it and, with over 57 million views on Youtube, someone must like it!
I've had a look at some of Faun's other stuff - very much to my taste
Whilst we're in Germany - I'll take the chance to repost my favourite bunch of East German Irish Folkies - rather less spectacular, but very accomplished :
To me, krautrock is bands from the 60s and 70s who were progressive rather than throwback like this. I mean bands like Neu, Can, Popul Vuh etc who used early synths and paved the way for bands like Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream, and later ambient stuff like Brian Eno.
But then again, R 'n' B to me means Dr Feelgood, not Beyonce, so what do I know!
