LOL crazy artwork although the music sounds more conventional. Or is it that I've just been listening to these?

I've got a copy of this now - good stuff, it's very refreshing to have the distorted guitar solos coming in after a long period of ambience. So far I've got Ash Ra Tempel, Schwingungen, Join Inn, Seven Up, Tarot, the Cosmic Jokers albums and this, all great in their way, so may investigate a little further yet Star.

It's just as well there is a Kindle edition as I was able to read the Amazon "Look Inside" excerpt at which point I decided it was too academic for me and bought David Stubbs' "Future Days: Krautrock and the Building of Modern Germany" instead. This is more what I was looking for and I've so far enjoyed the chapters on Amon Düül II and Can Star.

Thanks Ulrich, and I'm glad to see you have ebook formats available for when it's disappeared from the bookshops Thumbs Up.

What I most enjoy about 1970s Krautrock is the way the musicians seemed able to do what they liked, maybe take a bit from other music or possibly experiment wildly, and the record companies would still release whatever they came up with. British prog rock may arguably have produced a number of more impressive technical and compositional works but I feel some of the fun and atmosphere was lost due to a desire to make "serious" music and also in the pressure to sound distinctive and unique - for example once Jethro Tull had used the flute, anyone else would have been considered derivative, but people in Germany didn't appear to worry about such things Cool.

i had to do 32 hours overtime for work this week and finally got a chance to invest some of the profits in more of the albums sampled in the above compilation. The others will be coming on CD but this one was only available on MP3 so I'm listening to it now Cool.

I'm currently having a good listen to the Krautrock - Music for Your Brain box sets I bought between 2010 and 2013 when Vol. 5 came out. Amazingly there was still good music left to be put on CD 30 Star.

I'm glad to see Manuel survived the 70s and it was good to hear about the different sorts of music he produced. I hadn't heard his solo work but had a listen to Inventions on YouTube and as I thought from what he was saying in the interview he'd had similar ideas of echoing the guitar to Achim Reichel on his A.R. & Machines albums.

^^Ash Ra Tempel's music has a lot of blues influences, something that Manuel often remarked. The opening track from Schwingungen is just straight-up cosmic blues. That influence also reverbrates on Seven Up.
Here is the interview with Manuel by FACT magazine (which I consider one of the finest music mags these days, along with The Wire).
He also says about how one of the pieces on New Age Of Earth is inspired by Fleetwood Mac's "Albatross", just electronic and modern. I really find it fascinating how one totally different piece from totally different circles, eras, movements, genres could have inspired that one. Check it out, the interview is pure awesomeness! Or is it just me, the ultra fan of Manuel Gottsching?LOL

I've just been through the Krautrock albums I have looping round on my iPod to see how many there are for each year, excluding two or three much later reunion type efforts, with the following results suggesting the golden age only really lasted about five years. I should perhaps also mention that Delay 1968 wasn't actually released until 1981 and everything on my list after 1981 is the tail off from Tangerine Dream.

1968 *

1969 ***

1970 ********************

1971 ****************************

1972 *****************************

1973 ***********************

1974 ***********************

1975 ************

1976 *********

1977 ******

1978 *****

1979 ****

1980 ***

1981

1982 **

1983 **

1984 *

1985

1986 **

Yes, it is an "introduction", but it's phenomenally written, exceptionally interesting, and it is just dead good in my opinion. Smile

It is a good article thanks, I was interested to see Manuel was classically trained before taking up the blues. I'm not a great fan of the blues in general, but make an exception for Look At Your Sun Star.

I've just finished listening to Sternenmaskerade once again and it has confirmed to be one of my favorite krautrock albums of all time. Awesomesauce!

I'm listening a reissue of In Den Gärten Pharaos from Popol Vuh, there's two unrealeased tracks as bonus, they're excellent!
But i could only find part 1 on Youtube Cry
