I had read about this movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0270214/) on a TD page years ago - all it had was one screenshot, so very interesting to see more of this movie. Thanks for posting this!

I just would have liked to hear the original audio from the movie and not this unbearable drug music... :roll:

Judging from the quality, it almost seems as if the movie appeared somewhere on DVD...?

that would be the 'unbearable drug music' by Edgar Froese and the Tangerine Dream band then? ;)

It is pretty good. Read about this years ago and thought it would be just plain aweful but it's actually OK.

Is the little chap they're chucking around at the start of the clip JF?

If it's 1969 I'm guessing not be could be wrong.

Good spot BTW Schmoelling in wonderland.

Can't believe the music is EF and TD. Sounds way too English IMO. I'm probably wrong though.

I think the youtube clip might be re-dubbed...the original DVD has the real TD music...rather Jazzy I seem to remember

Don't think so, some people in the comments seem to have found out what it is. Also I don't think it's very likely the whole movie was overdubbed with TD music without hearing any actors... :D

Maybe the music was ok when you lived at the time - people where trying out things, crossing boundaries - and maybe sometimes just doing lots of nonsense having smoked lots of stuff. :D It's okay, it was an important time (especially politically). But certainly not really my time in terms of arts, and TD have never been Krautrock to me anyway.

The actual music used in the film is pretty good (I'm not referring to the youtube clip) I mean the actual score, is a bit Jazzy in places. To be honest the film didn't make that much sense to me (as I don't speak German) but then again it didn't have any subtitles either. The quality was pretty good and surprisingly Edgar is good as an actor. I think he's one of those blokes who would have made a success of whatever he tried, probably coming from his general work ethic. The film also interested me as it dates from a time when TD's name was still relatively fluid, in fact it's a period of TD's history I'm particulary interested in, something I've been researching for several years.
