Since I'm totally ignorant about these three categories I'd appreciate if you could give some recommendations of nice starter albums, and why that/those albums are so fantastic. Just pour em' over me LOL!

I know more about Krautrock than the other two subgenres...but for Zeuhl I would say Udu Wudu is a good starting place for Magma.  Anything from Henry Cow and Univers Zero is good for RIO.  For Krautrock you should start with the following...
Ash Ra Tempel-Ash Ra Tempel
Amon Duul II- Yeti
Can- Future Days
Popol Vuh- Hosianna Mantra
"Science is all metaphor"-Timothy Leary
