These two others live from 1974 (like "Last") are excellent too:
At the cliffs of River Rhine
Fragments

AGITATION FREE - Second!!
Great psyh-oriented stuff played with an eerie touch and finesse, which doesn't stop the band from sounding strong and energetic.
I wish I could have voted for TD's "Stratrosfear", too --- AND NEKTAR ARE BRITISH, NOT GERMAN!!! (no, not again...)
Regards. |
True! under rated album by under rated band.
Last is a big classic, too

our collection is full of Krautrock too, some very obscure bands among them (ever heard of Limbus 4?) some albums are real crap , but Krautrock is definitely one of the wildest and most experimental genrés of prog, and of course some experiments don't work. also Rolf Ulrich Kaiser of the "Kosmische Kuriere" label is/was one of those producers who want/wanted to make a fast buck. he hyped a lot of bands that were not worth it or published material the artists did not want to be published (the albums of the Cosmic Jokers, for example, were never meant to be published; Kaiser ripped off the musicians here. in a strange way one has to thank him for that though, since at least the self-titled album and "Galactic Supermarket" of the Cosmic Jokers are real gems).
Nektar is of course not Krautrock. the musicans are British and just happen to have lived in Germany for a while. and I always wonder why "Remember the Future" is their most popular album. the recurring weak chorus (dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah "Remeeeeeeeeembeeeeeer the Fuuuuuutuuuuuure" dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah) ruins the album for me |
Agree!

Yes, early/mid TD period is essential, without forgetting early Kraftwerk.

I voted for Tago Mago, because the Nektar album, which I think is the best of all mentioned in the list is an album from a british band. But I miss albums of Eloy and Grobschnitt.i

Didn't find my favourites... I don't have very deep knowlegde of this area though, but I like very much TD's "Rubycon", RUFUS ZUPHALL's "Weiss Der Teufel" and the early live recordings of ASH RA TEMPEL
Nearly forgot "Phallus Dei" by AMON DÜÜL II!

Since I saw no Grobschnitt (live Solar Music or the debut ) I went for Yatha siddra: flawless.
