Couple with Clock Tower (2011) by Louise Despont<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Assuming such a thing doesn’t already exist, there’s a micro-thesis to be written about the associations between the musicians of Germany’s Krautrock\/Kosmische music scene in the early 1970s and the directors of the New German Cinema. I’d not seen this clip before<\/a> which shows the mighty Amon D\u00fc\u00fcl II jamming briefly in Fassbinder’s The Niklashausen Journey<\/em><\/a>, a bizarre agitprop TV movie made in 1970. More familiar is the low-budget short that Wim Wenders helped photograph a year earlier showing the D\u00fc\u00fcl performing Phallus Dei<\/em><\/a>. Wenders later commissioned Can to provide music for the final scene of Alice in the Cities<\/em><\/a>. And this is before you get to Werner Herzog’s lengthy relationship with Popol Vuh which includes this memorable moment<\/a>. Any others out there that I’ve missed?<\/p>\n
