-Hidria Spacefolk (Finland),
-Taipuva Luotisuora (Finland),
-Moonwagon (Finland),
-Quantum Fantay (Belgium),
-Offworld (Belgium) (with two members of Quantum Fantay),
-Weedpecker (Poland),
-Ozric Tentacles (UK).


I'm always in search of new bands and there's a few Space Bandits there for me to check out. The only band I'm familiar with are Ozric Tentacles, although I've never heard a full album. I'm aiming to change that pretty soon though. Smile

Hi,

10CC had even more ... check out "Hotlegs" and the single that was a hit for a bit ... or if you have the stomach for it ... Neil Sedaka!
 

that's almost as surprising as The Enid being the backing band on Kim Wilde's single "Kids in America".

Guy's show, even today, HAS NEVER BEEN one for the hits ... so you got to hear a lot of things from various albums with 10CC ... so in the middle of this and that you would get Baron Samedi ... and maybe later ... Play Me ... or Rubber Bullets ... you just do not get those kind of selections, EVEN TODAY, by anyone, because they do not listen to the albums ... they only know a song or two ... but the rest of SHEET MUSIC is a fantastic album, and WSShuffle is not the most exciting song in the mix!

I don't think that most folks realize ... when a show is NOT about the hits ... and Guy had ALL OF the "krautrock" right from the start I still have the albums! All of them!), and even included the fun stuff from the Cosmic Jokers/Couriers. Even nowadays, no one even bothers listening to it to get an even better understanding of the whole thing.

I like all of those bands you mentioned, with Agitation Free being my all-time favourite Space Rock band, followed closely by the Cosmic Jokers.
I like really much also Agitation Free, although when talking about Kraut bands Faust, Can and Amon Düül II is more favorite to me. Not care much about Brainticket & Guru Guru.

Hi,

Guru Guru ... There is a live album from 70/71 I think that is the very definition of "space rock" ... and its free form stuff in it is insane ... and those 3 are my favorites of theirs although Dance of the Flames is excellent (though not space rock per se) and Tango Fango is jazzier if you will, but in the end, it has one of the most important pieces of music ... and what turned GG on ... it's also a satire on the music difference between East and West Germany at the time!

This is the second Space Rock album from the German Krautrock band, Guru Guru. Just try and ignore the dreadful album cover - recently voted one of the worst prog album covers of all time on ProgArchives. Smile
 
GURU GURU - Hinten (1971)
