Remember, many moons ago, they did a feature on Peter Gabriel, must have been about 1982/3 as it was about PG4 I think.

Brilliant program, still remember it to this day. Magnificent album PG4.

Looking forward to this Beeb documentary.
Remember it well, with Peter with the CMI Fairlight sampling a paving slab (back in the day when Sampling was still exciting).
From memory I think Larry Fast might have been in it as well...but I'm guessing
Thats the one.........and sampling wind blowing across drainage pipes found on waste ground or something. You can hear a lot of that stuff on the album I think. Gonna check it out again today

Breaking glass in a bucket was another

From what I've seen most BBC music docs are rather good, even if I don't like the music (Hawkwind & the Who spring to mind)...UNLESS...they go for the 'comic' voice over treatment ("ho, Ho, those Krazy Krautrockers!!!"...let's shoe horn in every cliche and stereotype in the book, with some wacky visuals...dear god, wake me up when it's over!)...and then by and large they're utter (round objects) of the highest order. You either talk about music seriously or you can bugger off and write some sub-par sit com IMHO. I think some people at the Beeb try to save money and/or confuse the two, with the result that they keep nobody happy, which considering how much TV programmes cost these days is no mean feat.

Anyway...from what I've heard (so far) it's a pretty serious doc on German Music...and if I'm wrong, well when was the last time TD was featured on TV?...1997 or earlier? hardly an every day event Judging by recent events and in all seriousness let's make the most of it

Of course I will watch, but if it is the Krautrock programm there won't be so much TD in it. Already seen it a year ago or something like that.
It is only 10minutes in 3 or 4 episodes. As far as I remember.

I remember that one. Quite good in seeing how EM was done back in the day but, yes, a total missed opportunity.

I just bought a 160gb hardrive TVrecorder off BidTV specifically to record this TD doc.
