The first track is awesome on that Lilienthal album, Pierre. I was sorta let down when the rest of it veered into a more sedate electronic mood. Still pretty good for a Sunday morning - you're quite right in that assessment

Just listened to the original Amon Duul's 'Paradieswarts Duul' album (haven't spun it for over a year) - amateur though it may be, it's inventive and definitive Krautrock.

great to see some the dead c appreciation around these parts. the whole nz underground scene was a big influence on my tastes. i was lucky that a handful of independent stores in Australia had a penchant for stocking this kind of stuff.

HolyMoly what albums do you have so far?

I saw you posting here the other day, but was visiting my folks - far away from my computer, so I was eager to get back and listen to this stuff on my stereo. I hate having to listen to new music over my phone(my ear-buds don't work with my phone for some reason).

Yummy

Wouldn't surprise me if quite a few bands in that direction had taken a few cues from ART, the first side of their S/T is some pretty abrasive and heavy stuff for its age. Will look into this.

This band isn't on PA, and isn't even German (they're from New Zealand), but I think they may find a captive audience in this thread.  Discovered them about a week ago and I've been hooked.  Noise band that has a heavy Krautrock feel, especially the wilder moments of Faust or Ash Ra Tempel.  I also hear a lot of AMM - most of their material is pretty abstract and improv-based.

Thanks guys, glad I picked it up then. 

Steve, Harmonia 76 is closer to an ambient album than to a real kraut album. But the music is fantastic, better and more varied in my opinion than the next Eno's ambient works.

One new band strongly inspired by Krautrock is K-X-P, whom I submitted to the site a while ago. Their music shows a clear influence from Kraftwerk and Neu!, but there's also inspiration from elsewhere most notably Joy Division and Suicide. Adds up to a wonderfully stylish dystopian future atmosphere.
