Black Dog Publishing are about to release <a href="http://blackdogonline.com/music/krautrock.html" target="_blank">their book</a> on Kosmische and krautrock music, with essays by Erik Davis, Ken Hollings, Michael Faber, David Keenan and entries by many other writers and musicians.

To celebrate they're having a part this Thursday, 29 October, at Rough Trade East on Dray Walk, off Brick Lane, London E1. From 6.30 until 8.30pm.

Music from DJs Cherrystones and myself.

Those who didn't see it could also do themselves a favour and watch BBC4's <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00nf10k/Krautrock_The_Rebirth_of_Germany/" target="_blank">Krautrock documentary</a>, aired last week, which serves as an excellent primer to some of these incredible sounds, times people.
