The Krautrock Space

Thought to ask, are you familiar of Swedish bands Pärson Sound / International Harvest / Träd, Gräs och Stenar? I think some of their material might appeal to adorers of early organic rockdronings, and if you know them, would be fun to hear some impressions, if not discussed here earlier.

Pärson Sound, I've listened to for the first time.
What a killa track indeed ... I've checked their album in some CD webshop and found it be much expensive ... sadly.

OK, I've had a listen, and can see he's been listening to stuff like Kluster, Neu! 2 and the first Tangerine Dream album. I don't mind noise, and have Throbbing Gristle's CD1 and Heathen Earth in my collection, but am not keen on plumbing the depths of sexual perversion, murder and insanity, I look to music to escape from all that. So here's a couple of good healthy tracks from 1968

I think someone mentioned Walter Wegmüller but don't recall any links - so here is Die Sonne. Getting Ash Ra Tempel, Klaus Schulze, Wallenstein,Witthueser & Westrupp all on one album strikes me as a fantastic bargain, plus it also featured in one of the strange coincidences forcing me to look properly at the Tarot Thanks for posting that i'm a huge fan of that album.It is pretty amazing that he got so many legendary guys to help out.A must for Krautrock fans for sure.

Putting that one on after I finish Klaus Schulze´s Timewind. If it wasn´t for those ahem acquired vocals, I´d most likely rate this a masterpiece. Great psychedelic drenched atmosphere on it - I just love the guitar work by Manuel Göttsching

Listened to DRUM CIRCUS on the way home from work tonight.If your into BRAINTICKET from Switzerland you should check these guys out as it includes both Joel Vandroogenbroek and Carol Muriel the crazed singer from that band.This was before BRAINTICKET so it's cool to here this.It's very Krauty with one song sounding like Free Jazz.The sax and flute from Joel is excellent throughout.This was really the drummer's project and he came up with the name because he dreamed of taking his band from town to town like a circus would to share his music.A couple of the tracks feature words from Timothy Leary poems.

Hi,

Thanks, I will make a note to remember NWW after returning from 70s German time warp.

Gotta check out Nurse With Wound. main man Steven Stapleton's biggest influence is Krautrock and this has largely filtered into their many albums of surrealist art rock dada avant musick......
