I like Can a lot. I listened to Neu! (self-titled) but apart from hallogallo it didn't really grab me. Any recommendations?

Thanks... I sense this one'll be a grower somehow. I love the way the rhythm section grounds the eerier stuff

Thread revival!

Krautrock totally passed me by until around 2 or 3 weeks ago when the BBC showed an excellent documentary about it. So, as a n00b, where do I start?

Incidentally, this is just about the most beautiful thing I've heard in months.

I'm rather quite jealous, I'm running out of new Krautrock discoveries now and the whole genre has delivered a lot of joy! Some recommendations :- Can, Faust, Amon Duul, Ash Ra Tempel, Cluster, Harmonia (definitely check out if you're into Tangerine Dream), Neu!, Popol Vuh.

I like some of the stuff I've heard by NEU!
=here

You should listen to: 'Tago mago' by Can. @_@ awesome!

And take a peek to Negativland from Neu!.

Cheers.

I think Tago Mago is my favourite krautrock album. It's sounds so raw yet the musicianship is impeccable, one minute it's chilled out and the next it's totally in your face - I love it!

I as well am a krautrock n00b. And yes Tangerine Dream - Ricochet 1/2 is also the most beautiful thing I've heard in a while. Thanks so much for reviving this thread.

Cheers Liam - should have known you'd be all over this!

The documentary I was talking about, Krautrock: The Rebirth of Germany, can be watched here.

Well worth an hour of your time.

This thread deserves bumping. I'm quite obsessed with this era. I can hear Popol Vuh's influence in a lot of BoC's stuff. The choral synths on RFTD remind me of the Aguirre soundtrack a lot.
Neu!, Can, Popol Vuh, Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Harmonia, Ash Ra Tempel, Faust, Amon Düül II, all amazing.

Did anyone get the Can - The Lost Tapes boxset last year? Some of their best stuff imo.

This is one of those threads that shouldn't leave page one. Couple non-obvious recommendations:

Dom - Edge Of Time
Annexus Quam - Osmose
Agitation Free - Malesch
Xhol - Motherfuckers GmbH & Co KG
Dennis- Hyperthalamus

this word - krautrock - is mentioned in the new interview

El Camino · Post by **El Camino** » Wed Jun 12, 2013 8:57 am

Tago Mago by Can is the best krautrock album of all time.
