SPLENDID ISOLATION
(continuado daqui)
Cluster & Eno - "Ho Renomo" (c/ montagem de imagens
de bailado de Anna Pavlova realizada por riverotter)
"In the late summer of 1976, Brian Eno took up an eighteen-month-old invitation and travelled to West Germany to commune with his friends Joachim 'Achim' Roedelius and Dieter 'Mobi' Moebius of Cluster. The duo, plus their Harmonia colleague, Michael Rother, their girlfriends and an extended 'family' of creative comrades, were now living in splendid isolation in a huddle of picturesque, if draughty, wood-beamed farm buildings in the hamlet of Forst, close to a wide curve of the river Weser. (...) Eno quickly fell into step with Forst's relaxed, hermetic regimen: 'It wasn't like a hippy commune but there was an agreement that if we were going to make music together, we should share our lives together - the music should come out of the way we live', Eno later recalled. 'It has to be the thing that we constantly revolve around and refer back to. It was a nice period, we worked as the mood took us and came up with tons of stuff'" (On Some Faraway Beach - The Life And Times Of Brian Eno de David Sheppard)

KRAUT-ENCICLOPÉDIA
Vários - Kraftwerk And The Electronic Revolution (DVD)
“Uma das coisas de que estávamos absolutamente conscientes era de que não tínhamos crescido no delta do Mississipi nem em Liverpool. A nossa geração tinha o dever de criar um contraponto a isso”, afirma Karl Bartos (Kraftwerk), logo na abertura desta enciclopédica maratona de três horas que inventaria, recolhe depoimentos, e cita audiovisualmente todos os imprescindíveis marcos do que ficou genericamente conhecido como “krautrock”.
"Kraftwerk, schizophrenic technologies" - doc. de Lionel Bennes no Youtube
Verdadeiro curso intensivo de iniciação, toma os Kraftwerk como eixo de agregação da narrativa histórico-musical mas, simultaneamente, refere antecedentes (Stockhausen, Schaeffer, Pierre Henry, a banda sonora de Forbidden Planet), enumera protagonistas (Can, Neu!, Cluster, Amon Düül, Tangerine Dream, Popol Vuh, Faust, Ash Ra Tempel, Conny Plank), anota interferências e descendência (Eno, Bowie, Cabaret Voltaire, Suicide, Giorgio Moroder, o “disco”), viaja do Zodiac Arts Lab de Berlim para Colónia e Dusseldorf, e concretiza a dupla proeza de despertar o apetite de quem ignora tudo sobre o tema e de, para os outros, apelar à reescuta integral da discografia desta prodigiosa aventura dos anos 60/70 alemães.
