   Another term commonly used for some German music from the 1970s is kosmische Musik (“cosmic music”). It was introduced by Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser to market krautrock artists like Ash-Ra Tempel, Tangerine Dream, and Klaus Schulze. Although rejected by many artists associated with it, kosmische Musik remains a somewhat useful term to describe the synthesizer-heavy, meditative anti-rock of some West German musicians of the 1970s.
