Agitation Free have always been my favourite Krautrock band. I used to think Nektar were Krautrock, until I realised they're a British band based in Germany. Smile

This came out during disco’s heyday...and it sorta sounds that way..and then not really...not at all some might say...but there’s a snap to the beat and a general funky almost danceable rhythm coming awefully close to several disco tunes that I can think of...yet it’s definitely not disco...but something else entirely...a psychedelic and slow-moving funk coach of sorts...or indeed the sounds of the disco-movement if it’s favourite drug had been ketamin:
CAN - Safe

Amongst newer releases I still rank Electric Orange’s Volume 10 as one of the finest Krautrock albums since...well the 70s.
Folks into the old style of ‘fumbling down dark caves with but a few instruments doing the ‘lighting’ should dig this big time.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: this is what prog sounds like if it had been discovered by the Navajo

It's good to see a Krautrock appreciation thread. I thought this was a brand new blog until I noticed it was over 60 pages long, having first been posted way back in February 2011. Smile

I knew it’d been a while since this thread had been touched but..3 years?!???

Anyway here goes:
I still listen to a lot of this stuff on a regular basis. Hell some days it’s nearly all I listen to. On those days I catch myself starting out with say a Can album..and then why not a other one? Two become three and I wonder why it had to take me so long to REALLY get the latter part of their 70s oevre.
The tuesday after I do the same thing with Embryo only it’s the live albums I revisit. Live at Bremen fx hit me over the head with the force of a small mountain. It was funky and raw like real wood and again lead me down a listening experience that passed through Goosebumps City and Studio54 alike.
Krautrock: the crooked funky stuff you (sorta) can dance to

Currently listening to Can’s selftitled album and digging the hell out of Safe. Man..that track is like listening to what might’ve been if the disco movement’s favourite drug had been opium

For some odd reason, this album gets rather low ratings here on PA. In my opinion, it's a treasure. Not only is it incredibly hypnotic, it's also a historical treasure. In my opinion you can really feel the spirit and the approach to music and experimentation in Germany at the time. Great album.

Only got this very recently, love it! Such an unpredictable band, you really don't know what each album will sound like! This one was such a loopy mix of blues, psych, jazz, doo-wop...completely bonkers, but full of great playing beginning to end too.

David Stubbs' "Future Days: Krautrock and the Building of Modern Germany" was well worth reading - entertaining and informative and covering the key groups developing adventurous and experimental sounds. The only downside with the Kindle edition is that the massive index makes the actual text of the book come to an unexpected end at what appears to be 2/3 of the way through, but by then I was wondering what else there was to say seeing as it had already covered the post-everything situation we now live in Wink.

Yes, it is pretty mad isn't it? Interesting review there although I was thinking they'd have to be serious to learn all that Latin, work out the music and even give the band a Latin name Star.

Be sure to check out Latin Mass by Os Mundi if you haven't done so yet. I may even prefer it over this their more known work. SeventhSojourn (Chris) wrote an outstanding review of it here on PA a good while back, if you're interested in a good read as well.
Love that Silberbart album too. The guitar is so incredibly dirty it makes me want to wash the speakers after a good spin.
