Just been introduced to Exmagma - nothing to do with Magma. Seem to be  influenced by Soft Machine  (Third and before), however, liner notes suggest (to complicate things) a lot of ingestion of hallucinogens, with the album being the result of trying play Soft Machine tunes some fair way out of their skulls!

 'Krautrock' is an outdated term and was mainly used in the beginning of the 70's for the first wave of german rock bands. Most of these bands have only one common point that they were based in Germany.The first groups are closely linked to the labels Pilz,Ohr and Kosmische Kuriere the second wave mainly to the Brain label. The majority of the bands does not sing in german.Stylistically spoken there are several orientations:

Jazz Rock: Agiation Free, Embryo, Kraan, SFF, Guru-Guru, Missus Beastly, Curt Cress, Snowball, Passport

Symphonic: Triumvirat, Grobschnitt, Wallenstein, Novalis, Eloy, Satin Whale, Ramses, Streetmark 

Heavy: Jane, Eloy(beginning)

Folk Rock: Hölderlin, Ogenweide, Jerry Berkers, Witthüser& Westrupp, Bröselmaschine

Psychedelic : Amon Düul,Mythos,Walpurgis

Düsseldorf: Neu, Kraftwerk, La Düsseldorf

Electronic : Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Popol Vuh, Eroc

Politic Rock : Floh de Cologne, Ton, Stein &Scherben, Checkpoint Charlie

+some bands and musicians hard to classify: Can, Holger Czukay, Irmin Schmidt, Cluster,Faust, Harmonia,Sergius Golowin

I agree with Alucard, but I have no labels for bands like Faust, Ash Ra Tempel or Guru... anyway, here is my list:

Cosmic Jokers, Ash Ra Tempel, Grobschnitt (Solar Music Live is superb!!) Manuel Gottschling, Eroc, Sergius Golowin and Holger Czukay... and of course SPEKTAKEL!!

Of Hölderlin only the first album "Hölderlin's Traum" is Folk Rock, the rest is Symphonic Prog. And it is Ougenweide and not Ogenweide. Not really sure I'd put Agitation Free or SFF under Fusion either. And Guru Guru changed style with almost every album. Embryo are certainly fusion influenced, but later a lot of "World Music" entered their albums. In the section "Polit Rock" the name of the band is "Ton, Steine, Scherben" (a wordplay with the name of one of the German worker unions, "Bau, Steine, Erden").

The bands Frumpy and Atlantis with singer Inga Rumpf deserve a mentioning too. They play a more traditional, blues-oriented rock, with some funk elements in the case of Atlantis. I highly recommend their live albums.

Friede, thanx for correcting my spelling faults; another group that has roots in Blues Rock and Soul: Birth Control

Yes, Frumpy is amazing (don't know much about Atlantis) - better than Birth Control, which is good too - their "Hoodoo Man" album is very interesting.
