vamos scorcho Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 This thread has probably been made before. For instance, there is this documentary which is widely considered jazz: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3B89-69icyc This thread is for discussion of all good krautrock music. Psychedelic music in general is also encouraged, meaning prog sort of things are good in here. I know krautrock is a very extensive genre. There are rarities and strange releases hidden inside. Things you wouldn't check out unless you were recommended to. So, here is the thread. To start it off: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vamos scorcho Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 I'm getting into Faust. This will fill my week. If I've got the choice between Faust So Far, the Faust Tapes, and the first Faust album for purchase... well, I don't know which one to get. They all look appealing.

cwmbrancity Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 grip all of these and take the time to immerse yerself: http://rateyourmusic.com/list/Reed73/steven_nurse_with_wound_stapletons_top_10_plus_1_krautrock_albums/ Julian Cope's book is mint. There are so many albums listed and for what was a relatively short-lived "scene" you could probably double the list he includes and still not water down the quality. The BBC doc from a few years ago is very hit n miss doe. Some great interviews but waaay too many missing heads to justify the tag of authoritative.

cwmbrancity Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 !!!!! - now you're talking Ingwe,,,,,,,,, The tracks off this are *mind-blown*, "Menetekel" has that other-worldly vocal going on too. Genius tunes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwmbrancity Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 scuse the u-tub quality on some of these,,,,,, Roedelius put out some incredible records, reminds me a lot of certain Selected Ambient Works tracks & i think the bloke is 80-summat now,,,,,,,, Amon Duul II's Sandoz in the Rain improv: Xhol (Caravan) - Orgesolo .....(off the Motherfuckers album)......let it breathe & do its thang: Can's less frequently referenced Barnacles & Networks of Foam (live) Holger Czukay & Jaki Liebezeit from Can plus the genius of Jah Wobble: Ashra Temple: Niagara with a straight-up funk grrrrrroove: Harald Grosskopf's "Synthesist" album is MINT (later period classic German kosmische).......title track Neu!'s Hallogallo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAXYMOgHQI4 Similarly, Steve Peregrin Took (ex T-Rex and admittedly a Brit) nailed it with this track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShoD84lF9B4 wanted to end with a pers fave but computer said no finding Conny Plank's "News", #sadwank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
