26 More 70's Albums From German Acts

Many thanks to all who took the time to comment. It truly is a joy for me to read. Pleased to see the level of appreciation for this music.

For any who may wish to acquaint or reacquaint themselves with music from albums of this list, as is common from me, I made a playlist with one track per album that I really like. That track may not be most representative of the album, it is no substitute for listening to full albums, I could have gone with others, and you might prefer other choices, but I enjoy the exercise and I hope some others find something they like by checking out some of the music.

On second thought, I would have gone with A.R & Machines Echo on the whole, but I do love my choice from my original pick. And as I said in Drew's (BrufordFreak) recent topic on 70s German jazz-rock/fusion bands, the exclusion of Zyma's Thoughts was rather thoughtless of me. Oh well, I knew that 25 spaces would not be enough to cover nearly as much as I like. Wonderful music scenes in 70s Germany.

Mein Gott - I love so many of these.

Voted for:

Can - Ege Bamyasi
Eberhard Weber - The Colours of Chloë
Klaus Schulze - Mirage
Faust - So Far
Amon Düül II - Yeti

On another day one of these might have made it:

Kraftwerk - Trans-Europa Express
Kraan - Kraan
Agitation Free - Malesch
Brave New World - Impressions on Reading Aldous Huxley
Harmonia - Deluxe
Dom - Edge of Time
Yatha Sidhra - A Meditation Mass
Deuter - D

-and yet there's several more I love. The entries by Michael Hoenig, Dzyan, A.R. & Machines, Tangerine Dream, Popol Vuh etc...

Kraftwerk - Trans-Europa Express [aka Trans-Europe Express] (1975)

Some superb albums in this selection by Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream, Nico, Nina Hagen Band and probably some more.

From your list I voted :


Edgar Froese - Epsilon in Malaysian Pale (1975)
Harmonia - Deluxe (1975)
Kraftwerk - Trans-Europa Express [aka Trans-Europe Express] (1975)
Message - From Books and Dreams (1973)
Neu! - Neu! '75 (1975)
Klaus Schulze - Mirage (1977)
Tangerine Dream - Ricochet (1975)
Eberhard Weber - The Colours of Chloë (1974)

Let's see. Ege Bamyasi, Epsilon in Malaysian Pale and Yeti are the top 3 for sure, and then there are many albums I love between which I have a hard time to decide.  OK let's look who is still at 0 votes to make my job easier... So Malesch and Desertshore get my votes. Kraan, TD, Schulze, Kraftwerk lose out by this criterion, and there'd have been a few more. 

1. Ashra - New Age of Earth

Tangerine Dream!
Edgar Froese!
Michael Hoenig!
Klaus Schulze!
Ashra!
