This poster for a West Berlin proto-krautrock happening at the legendary scene headquarters Quartier Latin captures the moment when krautrock was beginning to cohere as sound, approach, and aesthetic. Advertising a performance by Eruption, a short-lived krautrock super group founded by Conrad Schnitzler with different lineups at each of its ~8 performances, the poster features a who’s who of the West Berlin scene: Klaus Schulze, Hartmut Enke, Dieter Servas, Lutz Ulbrich, Manuel Göttsching, Michael Günter, Ash Ra Temple, Kluster, Amon Düül, and Agitation Free.
