Sounds interesting, but then again I´m a sucker for things German, Kraut and electronic  Edited by Guldbamsen - November 07 2011 at 18:51 |

They are all fantastic really but start with the debut, unless you wanna go down the avant road first and get Unnamed  |

^^Well that´s the problem with these records - at least when you get into the more obscure - they tend to be a bit pricy... I won´t even go into those RPI ones that I have on my to get list
 If you don´t mind used records, then there´s a wide variety of options then. The problem with buying these online though, is that you don´t know whether they´re tip-top or scraped beyond recognition  I must say, that I´ve been fairly lucky so far - only bought 2 bummers out of well I don´t know really - A LOT. BTW Have you ever heard Lard Free? Pretty out there band that I think you´d probably dig. Edited by Guldbamsen - November 07 2011 at 18:46 |

I have Vuh's first 5 albums + Nosferatu already. Starting to listen to some of those other samples now. Also, I notice Mittelwinternacht isn't on PA, although that's probably progressive electronic. I'll upload a track to youtube and write up a thread later |

I still need to get the Kluster stuff...I see that there's now a release which contains the first two and Eruption, together for about $25...much better than the limited edition versions of the first two which are going for $35 each.

^Yeah I could have gone with Kluster as well, but I think that first
Cluster is just as dark. They clearly changed their sound with
subsequent releases, but 71 is an ominous sounding beast.
Nice track though Salty - it´s been a while since I´ve listened to it, thanks. Again, if he wants anything close to Gärten Pharaohs - the closest will probably be Affenstunde. |

Errmm - that Popol Vuh album is really one of a kind, and that is probably what makes it so special, but Affenstunde - their debut comes pretty close to it soundwise. Other Krautrock acts that fiddle within droning textures and the surreal are these: Between: Tony Conrad(here with Faust): Cluster: Lard Free: Deuter: And if you want something that´s droning, distorted and evil - mixed up with a healthy dose of black metal, then maybe Aluk Todolo is right up your alley. Not for everyone though: Edited by Guldbamsen - November 07 2011 at 17:50 |

Say, does anyone know of other albums comparable to In Den Garten Pharaos? I've been really into dark, droning, pulsing kraut like that lately.
I haven't found anything else I consider on the same level as Pharaos Although, one thing I've just discovered that is very cool is Mittelwinternacht '71  Edited by Triceratopsoil - November 06 2011 at 23:41 |

Thanks for the Vive La Trance tune David,a very relaxing track.I still haven't heard that album but i feel that Carnival In Babylon is as good as Wolf City to which most will disagreee.

I gather you´ve been posting reviews for MMA? My metal side has been dormant for a looong time, and I find that a bit silly, seeing as I grew up listening to Cannibal Corpse, Obituary and Napalm Death. The only metal I listen to now are the likes of Neurosis and ZU. Anyway good to see you here Karl - I hope you and your metal loving offspring are doing well  I just finished Vive la Trance by ADll, and I know I´ve said it before, but man this album is so freakin great!!! Maybe just as brilliant as Wolf City, and that is saying something. Just listen to this short track, and tell me that they lost their cosmic groove - diminished their wild past - went commercial  Maybe along with Wolf City, they did write more concise pieces, but they never betrayed their sound. That is just rubbish! They evolved, I say and did what they wanted to do.I just can´t get this little piece of music out of my head - sheer brilliance!!: |

Funny you mention Algarnes Tradgaard because tonight i'm looking at my collection and noticed i had one of their albums in my Rio/Avant/Zeuhl section and the other i the Psychedelic/Krautrock section.I'm sitting there thinking to myself "Okay where is the right spot for this band?" I ended up putting them in the latter section and your comments just cemented that for me.Listening to a band called LIGHTSHINE right now.Very melodic and drifting music.Love this stuff.

Just a Poke is a wonderful record John
 It´s been a while though... I´m going to have a listen later on tonight that´s for sure.I was listening to Algarnes Tradgaard earlier and they truly sound like a Swedish Krautrock-band to me! I love both their albums, and recently I´ve been getting more into the second one. Psychedelic synth folk meets Viking jamming on mushrooms. I love it like I love a good stew of labrador retrievers. |
