It was Germany's answer to the musical upheaval at play all across the planet in the late 1960s and 70s, when rock was being morphed into revolutionary art-music and strived to be newly psychedelic and free. The psychedelic part was just trying to be fashionable. As befits countless German stereotypes, though, the roots of Krautrock grew as much from early avant-garde electronic musicians like Karlheinz Stockhausen as from, say, The Beatles and The Velvet Underground. From those electronic roots grew out all sorts of unusual modes, noises, and textures, which in turn proved influential in the evolution of later electronic sounds like ambient and techno (and, in a sort of way, new age). Techno and ambient took off in the early 90s and continues today. Julian Cope's book has some interesting insight into all of this musical influence.
