 Love everything they recorded up to and including 1981's Sei still, wisse ICH BIN.

These two are great and somewhat overlooked

The other Nosferatu-album (released with a couple of different covers) + Herz Aus Glas (also different cover)


Such beauty

Everything I've heard by them is gorgeous.

I happen to love this band myself. Every album up to Nosferatu is damn near perfect! I love the way Florian Fricke went from experimental approaching avantguarde electronic to his spiritual acoustic Krautrock later on.  

So what about you people out there - anyone into this band? 

Personal faves include:

Spritual acoustic isn't my preference, but I enjoy the spacey ambience of first two albums, "Affenstunde" and "In den garten pharaos" with the Moog synth that Florian sold to Klaus Schulze. I would agree though that the next couple of albums are very well put together.

I love this band and those covers you have posted!  Nosferatu is my favorite! I have about 15 of their cd's. I first heard them in 1979 so I was a late bloomer. I collected almost every LP, bought the first releases on cd, then bought all the remasters. I even have the Celestial Harmonies versions which are a bit mixed up and not contaning the original track listings. They are spiritual and enchanting for me.

I should start listening to them more frequently: my local library has three or four records - but in the "Original Soundtracks" section.

I'm still getting acquainted with the band, I have those first two albums you listed.  Very nice stuff, but also quite subtle.  I can imagine it may take a while to sink in.  But I'm in no hurry - I know it's good.
