Cracks in the Cosmic Egg: German Psychedelia 1968-1978 - Tonight 8pm to 10pm

Call it krautrock, or Kosmische, or something else entirely. The music that came out of West Germany in the late 1960s and 1970s fused psychedelic rock, modern and minimalist classical music, and free jazz into one of the most compelling and influential sounds of its era. Tonight's College Radio Primer will feature the mind-expanding sounds of artists such as Can, Ash Ra Tempel, Neu!, and Tangerine Dream. This music would go on to influence artists such as Afrika Bambataataa, Stereolab, and Radiohead. Tune in!
