Examples

“It began out of nothing, was given a joke name, and became the pop influence du jour: krautrock, kosmische musik, elektronische musik, or whatever you wish to call German experimental rock from the 1970s.”

“Another term commonly used for some German music from the 1970s is kosmische Musik (“cosmic music”). It was introduced by Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser to market krautrock artists like Ash-Ra Tempel, Tangerine Dream, and Klaus Schulze. Although rejected by many artists associated with it, kosmische Musik remains a somewhat useful term to describe the synthesizer-heavy, meditative anti-rock of some West German musicians of the 1970s.”
