Krautrock (Kosmische Musik, German for "Cosmic Music") Experimental Rock (Psychedelia) from West Germany late-1960s early-1970s

 Neu! "Hero": Proto-1977 punk rock (Wire, Killing Joke, Wipers) from Germany 1975.


Can "Father Cannot Yell" 1969: imperial source inspiration to Pavement's 1990s and LCD Soundsystem's 2000s.


Faust "J'Ai Mal Aux Dents" 1973: pre-punk post-punk.  


In case you're into that kind of thing, lyric translation: 

This is a man hard working songThere is... no old dreamWe practiced for years my friendTo get this machine screamsNoise follows questions honeyThe hero is a business bunnyIf it means moneyThis is time maybe we do it without crimeBecause you are crying and i don't listenBecause you are dying and i just whistleThat thing so anonymously todayAnd echoes of my laughter burn into your seven hour turn
The problem is not only painIf time could be part of machineYou could pack it, see it's cleanYou could roll the end to startTomorrow skip my plastic heartBeating for a spacey bluesAnd you could hear it without shoes
It's been a nice (historic) roleFirst call the name and then the codeFirst call the code and then the nameI think it's still a funny game
ROCK OFF!
Here we go sisters, here we go manYour home made connectionsI do what i canYour tranquilliser body touch is very nice becauseAnd i don't need youMakes you wait for the master becauseI don't need youAnd you sit on your chair with your distant careThis mind blowing freakMakes my mind very sickAnd the seasons grow without your be active or die blowSay A.M. man, say A.M. woman's roleSee the mind control is perfectAnd you still have your daddy's smileFences on the floor are not thereBecause you can't hideYou get your children, you get your carWhat do you think how old you areWhat do you think what people needIt's not that plastic, let it bleedIt's not that plastic honey don'tBecause you understand you won'tSee your generation with their TV on standby
ROLL OUT!

(Like they saw A Clockwork Orange the year before and this was Faust's response in song.)
