The Krautrock Space

^Yummy!

Regarding Nico and her old team mates The Velvet Underground - I still think they had a lot to do with the Krautrock scene happening, and to some extent I´d consider Sister Ray a forerunner to the style. The same goes for a lot of psych outfits from both the states and England.
Especially this one by the Floyd:

Thought to ask, are you familiar of Swedish bands Pärson Sound / International Harvest / Träd, Gräs och Stenar? I think some of their material might appeal to adorers of early organic rockdronings, and if you know them, would be fun to hear some impressions, if not discussed here earlier. Pärson Sound International Harvester Träd, Gräs och Stenar

^ Late Mr. Torbjörn Abelli played bass in all of these three groups, and he was honored in the latest My Brother The Wind album also. I do not remember are there other same members, somehow have a feeling the groups are kind of different evolvement steps of the same bunch, sharing similar spirit to the music.

I got 3LP box of Pärson Sound by Subliminal Sounds with a price I could survive due discount vouchers to a local record shop.
Though all of these bands have done really great stuff, I believe that box holds 100% greatest hynotic power in it, as the other incarnations have done also some tracks sounding more incoherent to my ears - should try to find focus to review it.

^ Splendid groove indeed! 

Anyway, has anyone suggested here a German bizarre Siloah?
Philippe and I love them really ...

I agree with the awesomeness of Haikara's debut record.
As a Finnish listener I can accept the first track fits to the album comcept, as the lyrics and the popular music style in my opinion draw a portrait of a common man, who then faces the four musically more advanced pictures of his world, mostly dystopic.
I tried to get into their second album very long time ago, but it sounded bit uncoherent, there was f.ex presence of some female singing being constantly out of tune on most of the tracks (well, maybe it could fit to the continental European undergroung psych characteristics).
That second album is reissued as vinyl, and of the first album there was a 500 copy (if I recall correctly) LP reprints done by some European company, these quickly sold out. CD version should be available more better.
The later recordings from this group didn't sound so appealing to my ears.

From Finnish psych underground outside the Love records portfolio, have you heard Nimbus ("Obus" being their sole release). Quite symphatetic pessimistic stoner prog?
Not so much trance-focused minimal hypnoticism, but quite personal effort in my opinion.



About bands David mentioned, I have tried to search Älgarnas Trägård's first record for long, but have not yet found it.
Kebnekaise's discography is well present in the local libraries, and I think I should dive into them more deeply.
If there is a good record for the start of getting into them in your mind, please recommend.

Also the rustic shamanism of Siloah sounds very wonderful on basis of the video shared here, thank you for sharing it Keishiro.

Have a nice day you all!

Finnish Psych / Kraut is very fascinatin. 

Hey Eetu!

You really can´t go wrong with the first 3 Kebnekaise records, but I would suggest you start with either ll or lll, as the first one mainly focuses on a more 60s sounding folky sound. I really like it, but I´m glad I started out with their second album - but that´s because I´m more into the kraut psych flavour.
The following albums Ljus från Afrika and Elefanten are experiments with African music and altogether different in attitude and temper. Pretty weird listening to their first ones and then putting on Elefanten

ahem ahem and Tortoise's Millions Now Living Will Never Die is a wonder of modern kraut/prog. Listen to the 23 min opus Djed and tell me you cannot hear Kraftwerk's Autobahn and Neu! in there......

Thank you David for this description! Will search the first three, as I also like lesser experimental 60's folk music.

Of the early post rock you can also add .O.rang, Disco Inferno and Ganger to that list... Plus there was Glenn Branca, who was the connection between Kraut and GY!BE.
