A to Z of Classic German Prog

I'm just glad I don't have to say the name out loud, unlike this reporter who can't pronounce "Phenomenon"

Atlantic Overcrossing

 

I like Utopia...an Amon Duul off shoot , ... and Lucifers Friend, the first 3 or 4 being good ,but the second my favorite...Banquet the 4th by them might be their proggiest though the sound changed with horns and sax added. (Strangely about 2 months ago at a small antique shop near me I found 2  mint copies of the first Lucifers Friend LP...one gatefold and one not..both on the small US Billingsgate label. The lady practially gave them to me...$3 each....)

Anyway, while we're in Between artists, here's an update on how the interactive A-Z is coming along. I've taken the liberty of adding Can myself because - in the words of Suzi Quatro - I couldn't possibly Can the Can from any self-respecting Krautrock list. 

A = Amon Duul II (added by Moshkito)

B = Brainticket (added by Verslibre)

C = Can

D = Dom

E = Embryo (added by BaldFriede)

F = Faust (added by Bald Friede)

G = Guru Guru (added by BaldFriede)

H = Hanuman (added by Logan)

L = Liliental (added by BaldJean)

Hi,

I like the double live album ... far out stuff and trippy as heck!

To add to the supplemental list: (and I have almost a complete Popol Vuh and Jane. Early Scorpions, some Wallenstein and no Xhol Caravan)

NOTE:

While Agitation Free has grown into a "proper" band, I don't consider them as more valuable than AD2. AF was a project that started out being PAID by various means to do something which included Eastern influences. By comparison, AD2 came out of the instrumental musical circles on their original commune, to put together some music they considered better and more important than the mindlessness of the drum circle by stoned folks and nothing else. That could have been channeled into a much better idea of music, but it wasn't ... and the intention was NOT to create "music" ... mostly it was to have fun while doing it. AD2 immediately tore that idea apart with "Phallus Dei" since these circles were an excuse to get stoned and many women getting plundered. This would make PD and then Yeti and then Dance of the Lemmings (their comment on the early commune?) ... a lot more important as a creative endeavor than what AF ended up doing, which was good ... don't get me wrong and I have all the early stuff ... but was mostly a medley using Eastern motifs and ideas that would "exemplify" what the Eastern feeling was with modern Western instrumentation.

Y is tough.

Z is also tough but maybe this Space Rock Fits?  - Zone Six
