The only 3 on the list I listen to are Hoelderlin, Birth Control, and SFF......and I probably play Hoelderlin more.

Hi,
I just wonder how well does everyone know the majority of that list. I can tell you I only know 5 of them "intimately". ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told! www.pedrosena.com |

| I am into a lot of German groups, but only 3 from that list. I chose Birth Control. They qualify if only for their masterpieces Rebirth and Increase. |

I know only like 4 of these, but Xhol Caravan is absolutely fantastic. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

| I was surprised Tortilla Flat was bottom of the poll. I really like the flute playing within their music |

Tough call, but in the end it was down to Os Mundi, Xhol Caravan and Harmonia. I went with he latter on account of the fantastic debut Musik Von, Deluxe and the live album they cut in 1974 Hamborg. Fantastic band - and one of the most unique sounding out there. They really hit a niche with their electronic Krautrock. One of their most prominent features is that two stroke engine feel they've got in the sequencer department. Really does sound like a small boat engine...
