I suspect this can't be accessed in the US, but thought I'd mention it anyway;

http://www.bbc.co.uk/ipla...he_Rebirth_of_Germany/ 

Documentary looking at how a radical generation of musicians in bands like Neu!, Can, Faust and Kraftwerk created a new German musical identity out of the cultural ruins of war.

Innit that what the Mersey Beat was?

Or was that a song about a gay on a riverboat?

OK, I did a comparative of the British to the German post-war music scenes by referencing the Mersey Beat sound.

The I made a vague reference to that Gerry and The Pacemakers song Ferry Cross The Mersey but turned it into a homophobic attempt at humor.

Now do you see what I did dere?

I hope so.


I've been dying to find out who the bass player was in that band.


Any ideals?
