In March, Soul Jazz will release the sequel to 2010’s Deutsche Elektronische Musik compilation.

Soul Jazz’s original set offered a broad overview of Teutonic electronic music from 1972-83, and featured material from Cluster, Ash Ra Tempel and Can. As per the last record, Deutsche Elektronische Musik 2 is more of a primer than an investigative set, leaning heavily on the biggest and best-regarded acts of the period.

Can, DAF, Tangerine Dream, Popol Vuh and Faust are all represented. Soon-to-be collected keyboardist Hans-Joachim Roedelius features repeatedly, with nods towards his solo material and his collaborative works with Eno and Moebius. Harald Grosskopf and Pyrolator, both recipients of excellent reissues in the last 18 months, are also included, as are Conrad Schnitzler and Amon Düül II.

Deutsche Elektronische Musik 2 will drop on March 11. The disc arrives with notes from writer David Stubbs, responsible for 2009’s fine survey Krautrock: Cosmic Rock And Its Legacy.
