Eckart Rahn is an untainted music lover
in the purest sense. The original
Kuckuck label founder came from a non-
musical background in an obscure village
in Germany with no money, few career
prospects and little outlets for his
creative energy. TIC TOC TIC TOC...
Sharing a common psyche with most young
Germans after the Second World War, Rahn
was literally starting from scratch,
inventing his future with a blank canvas
and taking risks with nothing to lose.
The humble beginnings of the founder of
one of the longest running European
independents were simple - when he
eventually heard music he fell in love
with it and dedicated his life to it. A
man in charge of his own destiny, from
this point on, Eckart Rahn was only ever
going to be his own boss.
The ideologies of rebellion, rule
breaking and risk taking, which would
provide the foundation for the German
rock explosion affectionately known as
krautrock, were sewn into Rahn's DNA
from the outset. When Eckart first heard
a Blue Note recording of Sonny Rollins
'Live At The Village Vanguard' he
immediately spent his only money on the
record with hope that he would soon be
able to afford a record player to play
the damn thing on. This unique approach
to life would later lead Rahn through
his career in the music industry taking
gambles on forward thinking artists in
the hope that the record buying public
would eventually catch up.
Christened with the German word for the
cuckoo bird the label was titled in
reference to the way that Rahn would lay
musical eggs under an unassuming parent
company like the feathered brood
parasite. Combining three key elements
Rahn worked alongside two other
collaborative forces to get Kuckuck off
the ground. With himself taking care of
A&R and contractual paperwork he
enlisted the services of American DJ and
record producer Mike Sondeck who would
bring American electronic composer Sam
Spence to the label along with his
imported Moog synthesisers (paid for by
The American National Football League).
Rahn would also share the company with a
stylish design and advertising company
from Munich called ConceptData who would
supply Kuckuck's indelible graphic
styling - exemplified by its cuckoo logo
and typeface and their unmistakable
record labels.
Most of the music you will hear on this
compilation is from the pre-1974 period,
which is in no way intended to paint the
full Kuckuck picture. This compilation
intends to focus on Kuckuck's prog rock
years that would be filed under the
kosmiche or krautrock banner. You might
spot that some early artists that might
be filed under blues rock, pop or SSW
are not included here but should be
explored on their own merit or as a
piece of the full picture puzzle - a
jigsaw that won't be complete until Mr.
Rahn decides to take the key out of the
cuckoo clock for good.
