I'm not familiar with current German music, but as far as I'm concerned, Germany's alright by the music community. If you manage Faust, Can, Neu! and Kraftwerk in the same decade, there's gotta be some kind of meme there that's just waiting in the subconcious of German artists for the next complete revolution in music, which they virtually carried out in the 70s. If it weren't for Faust, there wouldn't be a lot of American bands. Just saying.
