German Prog has in the post-70's certainly not been as prolific as in the 70's, but still in it's entirety is one of the very 

most appreciated ones, and surely by me too.

There might have been a similar thread some time ago, but anyway I think this one is a good idea.

So here's my list:


Agitation Free  (D)  -  Malesch  (1972)

 Amon Düül II  (D)  -  Yeti  (1970), Wolf City  ('72)

Ash Ra Tempel  (D)  -  Ash Ra Tempel  (1971)

Can  (D)  Tago Mago (1971), Ege Bamyasi ('73), Future Days ('73)

Electric Sandwich  (D)  -  Electric Sandwich   (1973)  

Eloy  (D)  Inside (1973), Floating  ('74), Ocean  ('77)

 Embryo  (D)  -  We Keep On  (1973)

Faust  (D)  -  Faust IV  (1973)

Edgar Froese  (D)  -  Ypsilon in Malaysian Pale  (1975)

Gila  (D) -  Gila   (1971)

Guru Guru  (D)  -  Hinten  (1970)

Harmonia  (D)  -  Musik Von Harmonia   (1974)

Michael Hoenig  (D) - Departure From The Northern Wasteland (1978)

Hölderlin  (D)  -  Hölderlins Traum  (1972)

Kraan  (D)  -  Kraan  (1972)

NEU!  (D)  -  NEU!  (1972)

Orange Peel  (D)  -  Orange Peel   (1972)

Out of Focus  (D)  -  Wake UP   (1970)

Pell Mell  (D)  -  Marburg   (1972)

Scorpions  (D)  -  Lonesome Crow  (1972)

Tangerine Dream  (D)  -  Rubycon  (1975), Stratosfear  ('76)


And I hope, you'll enjoy it! Tongue

Hi,


The scene in Germany is as busy as ever was these days. One look at Guy Guden's Space Pirate Radio listings for his shows, will detail quite a few members from Germany. It is more towards the electronic and exploratory sounds of Neu, early Kraftwerk and such, but its creativity is just as strong.


The whole scene is much more "prolific" now than it ever was, as the releasing of materials is much easier than having to pull guns to a record company's folks! Both TD and KS had to go outside Germany to get their sales going because Schlager was the music then, I guess!

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

As in "classical music", with Progressive Rock, Germans have a natural ability. I demand that music have a cerebral and complex structure, and the German approach can really excel in that quality. Some German progressive artists  I could not be without are:

Triumvirat
Helmut Koellen
Passport
Wallenstein
Pell Mell
Andromeda
Kristian Schulze Set
Ceddo
Tangerine Dream
The Pink Mice
Kraftwerk
German Oak
Midnight Circus

Well, you couldn't really know, but I'm talking about how German Prog albums from the different decades have been rated, and when compared to other countries, and all that on basis of millions of ratings.

Hi,

However, in doing so, you are doing an injustice to today's musicians ... let's say ... your children ... and you are punishing them by suggesting that they will never, conceivably, be able to get as "good", or "well known" as those from years ago.

Why don't you do a thing that says Beethoven, Mozart and Bach are better than all these middling rock bands? Your credibility might be more interesting, instead of tasting like sour popcorn!

If you had been "there" at the time, you would not have touched the German stuff like we did! You have little taste for music and think that your "numbers" justify what you post! 
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

negative energy takes again over. Please, try to fight with it.

Don't worry - Mosh treats everyone the same way, including me. You could say he's an equal opportunities scoffer and scorner, although I wouldn't say that. Tongue

Hi,

It's a shame that someone, even an Admin, does not read the post in order to determine how it is on thread, and how it was ignored. 

It's ridiculous to say that one time there was music, and then there wasn't. It's not even artistically educated whatsoever, and the number of materials that we have "discovered" from various other days, have shown that.

But we keep turning to a top five mentality, and almost all of the "progressive" folks were not about these numbers ... they were about themselves, and their art!

I just think it's time, if we are going to continue being a "progressive" music board, that we wake up to the art and the music ... music, or art, HAS NEVER DIED AND GONE TO HEAVEN OR HELL. it was always there, but we don't have ears for something different, otherwise this discussion would be null and void.

I just find that David D's posts try to invent some kind of idea from its "numbers", and in all honesty, those numbers are long gone and not relevant ... but one Goon thinks that relevancy is his posts ... not the reality that the art still exists! AND IS LIVING really well!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
