If you want to hear loud guitar riffs, you would listen to bands from the USA and England. They dominated record stores, dance halls and the few radio and television stations. But something is happening in the state of the D-Mark. Bands like the Rattles, Lords, Tonics, Petards, Giants, German Bonds and so on represent the sixties beat, now and again with original approaches. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe late sixties witnessed a process of revaluation of popular music. With 'Revolver' and 'Pet Sounds', rock music establishes itself as a new art form. And a young, mostly academically educated generation felt that its honor had been taken: If rock is no longer just entertainment, but is even taken seriously by the bourgeois feuilleton, doesn't a country with this great tradition in serious music have a special responsibility? In the future, it will be about the specifically German contribution to the history of rock music, the search for its own musical identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor suitably disposed ears, the heavy sounds roaring with brutality from huge Marshall, Orange or Hiwatt towers - above all from England - from Cream, Taste, Free, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, UFO, Atomic Rooster and from the USA the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Blue Cheer, Alice Cooper, Grand Funk Railroad, Blue Öyster Cult and Vanilla Fudge provide the everyday soundtrack. But what is happening in Germany?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the early days of German hard rock, there was a lack of labels, producers and sound engineers who could do something with this music. But there were pioneers, producers like Peter Hauke, sound engineers like Conny Plank (Eloy and Night Sun, among others) and above all Dieter Dierks (Wind, Jeronimo, Hairy Chapter, Tiger B. Smith, among others), A\u0026amp;R managers like Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser (Birth Control, Virus, among others), labels like Bellaphon, Vertigo, Bacillus, Pilz, Ohr and Brain (Scorpions and Accept, among others).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe public's reaction to early loud guitar sounds in Germany was mixed. On the one hand, rock fans made pilgrimages to international festivals on the Isle of Wight or Fehmarn to experience hard British and US bands; on the other hand, local heavy bands battled against prejudice, low audience interest and poor economic conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two-part CD documentary from Bear Family Records® on a total of 4 CDs, each with a 96-page illustrated accompanying book, describes in depth the beginnings of hard rock in Germany, the attempts of bands, musicians, producers and record companies to go their own way, which finally put rock music from Germany on the world map of the genre with the Scorpions or Rammstein.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc 1\u003cbr\u003e1 Asterix - Look Out 3:09\u003cbr\u003e2 Lucifer's Friend - In The Time Of Job When Mammon Was A Yippie 4:01\u003cbr\u003e3 New Lords - Fly Little Jeannie 4:53\u003cbr\u003e4 Message - Smile 2:11\u003cbr\u003e5 Silberbart - Chub Chub Cherry 4:23\u003cbr\u003e6 Cindy \u0026amp; Bert - Der Hund Von Baskerville 2:50\u003cbr\u003e7 Toad - Stay! 3:27\u003cbr\u003e8 Wind - What Do We Do Now? 8:25\u003cbr\u003e9 Birth Control - Pandemonium 6:34\u003cbr\u003e10 Hairy Chapter - You've Got To Follow This Masquerade 4:47\u003cbr\u003e11 Light Of Darkness - Movin' Along 4:12\u003cbr\u003e12 Eloy - Eloy 6:21\u003cbr\u003e13 Megaton - Coo Cookie Choo 4:49\u003cbr\u003e14 Weed - Sweet Morning Light 5:47\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc 2\u003cbr\u003e1 The Scorpions - In Search Of The Peace Of Mind 4:59\u003cbr\u003e2 Frame - If 5:07\u003cbr\u003e3 Night Sun - Crazy Woman 4:22\u003cbr\u003e4 Blackwater Park - Mental Block 3:18\u003cbr\u003e5 Twenty Sixty Six And Then - At My Home 5:02\u003cbr\u003e6 Gift - You'll Never Be Accepted 6:30\u003cbr\u003e7 Janus - I Wanna Scream 2:43\u003cbr\u003e8 Tiger B.
