To make vodka in an unsanitary way, I guess.

Think I'm gonna get myself a piece of their action on at least one CD. I really don't want to get Hinten. Either Kanguru or Dance of the Flames.
Hinten is my favorite, in spite of the butts.
Kanguru for spaced-our Kraut - Dance of the Flames for Mahavishnu-type assault.  Love 'em both.

Two weeks ago week I tried out Tangerine Dream again. 
I still can't get into it.
I guess I'm not a kraut-fan (well, I like stew with sauerkraut and sausage and other meat)

Used to be tons. Now it's the second option because I listen to too many genres nowadays to say I listen to a certain one tons. LOL Love it lots though. Smile

Krautrock is always in heavy rotation in my home.Today I listened to Wallenstein's Mother Universe:awesome!I discovered this highly influential music 9 years ago through Amon Duul 2 and Popol Vuh:really brilliant head music!
I was born in the land of Mahavishnu,not so far from Kobaia.I'm looking for the world

Hi,
 
I have a different take on all this, because this music scene came up at the same time as other arts in Germany that were also just as important and valuable, and helped define Edgar Froese's words in the BBC Special even more like it.
 
When you see the folks from Faust playing around the junk in the yard in that Special, you will be seeing what the German Theater and film in the late 60's and early 70's were doing with words and concepts -- everything that Klaus Kinski was doing in film was ad-lib ... is that really different than Damo? ... are any of the plays by Peter Handke any different than what Damo was doing? ... geeeeee ... doesn't it make you wonder where it might have come from?
 
It's really hard to talk about it here in this board, because the majority of folks do not believe that rock music players are intelligent enough, or studious enough to know film, theater, literature, ballet, opera and other disciplines in the arts, other than the populist version of a top ten song and its coda!
 
As such, all of a sudden the music scene in Paris is more interesting!
 
As such, all of a sudden the music scene in Tokyo is more interesting!
 
As such, all of a sudden the music scene in NY is more interesting!
 
As such, all of a sudden the music scene in SF is more interesting!
 
As such, all of a sudden the music scene in LA is more interesting!
 
As such, all of a sudden the music scene in Rio is more interesting!
 
As such, all of a sudden the music scene in Havana is more interesting!
 
But we do not consider those options or even believe those folks were intelligent enough to even have a music scene (for example) ... and all you have to do is go look at the movie scene, the literary scene, the theater scene, the dance scene, for you to know that ... wtf ... where's the music?
 
You are not seeing all there is to see in order to understand things better ... and thus, saying that it is simply a jagged guitar on a guided improvisation and or about chord changes and odd time sequences, which invalidate the meaning and feeling of the music altogether and make it all just mechanical, and the like ... is actually not quite close or even right at all ... there is a lot more to it than that ... just not as visible as are the standard rock changes in chords and sequences ... and of course ... the most copied thing in prog ... the sonata format with a chorus in the middle .... the ultimate prog metal design that is defining "talent" these days!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I wonder how many fans of the group CAN didn't really like them that much at first.  That's probably true of me.  I bought "Ege Bamyasi" first and was a little disappointed because their music is so repetitive and jam-oriented, not as conventionally "composed" as most other prog rock, and not heavy nor psychedelic in the conventional manner either.  It really grows on you, though.  Twenty years on, they're second only to Magma as my favorite prog band. 

I really didn't like Can when I first heard them, probably because I was expecting something more like Eloy, or Triumvirat. Needless to say they're one of my very favorite bands now.
