Between 1968 and 1977 bands like Neu!, Can, Faust and Kraftwerk would look beyond western rock and roll to create some of the most original and uncompromising music ever heard.

This one is from BBC so you know they’ve done their homework. Links below are Youtube version of the same documentary but done in parts
in case the original Vimeo link goes out. The original did go out, watch it on Youtube.
well worth a look, even if it did seem a bit like they condensed a great 4 hour series into one hour.
