Two instances of this genre have already appeared in threads on this Forum in 2007.
First, JFs review of Holgar Czukay's Movies album in Mojo
Second, BBC Radio2's interesting and well made programme about Bowie and Berlin broadcast on Tuesday. Foxx is very eloquent and well-informed on this subject and its relevance to his own work.
Made me realize how much of my musical taste has developed from this seed, and how fascinating the whole period between 1970 and 1980 was.
Just thought I'd post a link to one of my favourite websites:
http://www.krautrock.com/
and see how the discussion develops.
I feel I can now be more comfortable declaring my hand as a fan also of 'Cabaret' music, as written by Brecht and Kurt Weill among others, which also issues from the decadence of Berlin, but 50 years earlier.
Makes me feel that a similar love of chanson and torch music is not so crazy after all. :p
