The Krautrock Space

Great overview of the history and representative bands of that era, although a little bit more focus on Can would've been nice; No mention of Ash Ra Tempel, or Guru Guru though. Nice to see all the old Krautrockers are stilling kicking it. Does anybody recognize the Cluster song at the end? It's beautiful and captivating.

I agree with you.Great Rockumentary.

Paradieswarts Duul is great

^ Along "Paradieswärts Düül" I liked their "Collapsing / Singvögel Rückwärts & co" album, which I would recommend.

I wrote an Amon Duul (all the diff variations) feature for Expose' back in the 90s, and the editor sent me all the albums I didn't already have.... on cassette (this was before CDRs).  My cassette deck recently broke, but I managed to transfer some of them to CD before it broke, and I managed to buy some on CD, and some I still only have on cassette.  I honestly find it hard to tell a lot of the early Amon Duul things apart, but when I'm in the mood to hear them, it doesn't really matter anyway -- it's just a long cool lo-fi acid jam.  Paradieswarts Duul is the only one that really stands out as different, being more acoustic and more thought-out.  I think "Sandoz in the Rain" from ADII's "Yeti" album was recorded in a similar fashion (as kind of an Amon Duul "reunion" song).

CAN, My Lostapes : first conclusions : Good and less good. I like Millionenspiel, Your firendly .., Pigeon Suite, A swan is born, the loop, Midnight men, Messer .. and Alice. Some new sounds and ideas in these ones, even for the eclectic Can.

I'm getting my "Fix" right now and digging it!

^ Fantastic dark infernal psychedelia! 

My Lost Tapes boxset finally got here today...had to wait for the other album I ordered to be ready to ship as well.  Going to start listening to it in just a bit!

Found this song in the Progarchives Krautrock page today.
