Julian Cope makes every band he writes about sound like the best band in the world, even the shitty ones. In me ha risvegliato il desiderio di riascoltare certi vecchi dischi in vinile, e riscoprire immutata la magia della musica incisa in quei solchi.
Out of period but on point, IMO — einstruzende neubaten. It’s incredibly rare and insanely expensive. For me to get my hands on a copy was about as exciting for a Krautrock fan as Pages to import images to Wikidata. Oct 06, Ed rated it liked it. Cope is an English psychedelic rock musician of note, and he fell under the sway of this music as a teenager, so he takes the approach of being the Uber fan and evangelist, in a charming way, like being cornered at a record store by sajpler obsessed fan.

Head Heritage January 1, Language: He’s not really in the same league with other rock journalists, at least as far as descriptive writing style I’m thinking of Simon Reynolds here, for instance. If you’re reading this review, you’ve likely already made up your mind to read this staple text.

Julian Cope is very readable and funny. He further details the movers and shakers of the genre, both those who were inextricably linked to one project Edgar Froese of Tangerine Dream, the members of Can and Faust and those who bounced around from band to band willy-nilly Klaus Schultze, Manuel Krautroc, Klaus Dingerand tells the hubristic story of Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser and his manipulative power trip as the mastermind behind the Cosmic Jokers.
