I've not gotten into much Kraut-Rock yet, but I like what I've heard. I was browsing the playlist looking for Kraut-Rock, and there's not much.
There's a few albums by Can, Tangerine Dream, and Amon Duul, but that's about it. I'm not "suggesting" as much as asking, but what would you guys (the programmers and listeners included) think of adding a load of more Kraut-Rock? There's plenty more by the bands listed above, plus:
Faust
Klaus Schulze
Neu!
Cluster
Popol Vuh
Ash Ra Tempel
Moebius
Tony Conrad
Harmonia
Manuel
Appliance
Roedelius
La Dusseldorf
Brainticket
Phew
Village of Savoonga
If you know anything about these bands, let's discuss. I heard some Neu! at my local indie record store. Good stuff. One of my favorite indie bands, Tarentel, named an instrumental after Popol Vuh, so I'm interested in that.
Also, I'll say this. What makes me interested in finding out what you old-timers
think about these bands is that I, being of the younger persuasion (24) am into a lot of bands that cite Kraut-Rock as a major influence, such as Tarentel, Fontanelle, Tortoise, and To Rococo Rot. Anyway, let's talk Kraut-Rock...
