Honestly, I do not consider "Acid Mothers Temple" anywhere near "krautrock" at all ... for the most part is is too much about thrashing and less music for my ears. I sometimes think that an evening with these guys opening for Dream Theater would be a good combination ... if you don't get your fix for guitar thrashing, you simply do not appreciate the waste of outstanding musicianship in the name of something or other.
 
I don't dislike what they do ... I just don't find it as interesting as the original, and in general, these guys are in too much of a hurry to get on to the thrashing, lest the coke or the high expire and you can't enjoy the music a whole lot.
 
In my book, I still say, that the only thing that AMT really needs is to take a few really good acid trips ... might learn something about the sensuality in music that helps define some hardness, instead of loudness.
 
That is, however, my own observation, and it is not meant to sound sex'ist or not appreciative of AMT ... I just think that the music does not have a little direction and is not defined by "experience", it is defined by notes and clusters of notes and more clusters of notes.
 
The others I have not head to be able to comment. This is not a put down of AMT, because I have some of their stuff and I don't dislike it, but rarely was some of the "krautrock" just mere thrashing. It might have been, but I don't think so.
 
I tend to agree with you Moshkito. I've just never enjoyed them for some reason.Now if you want a Japanese band that plays in the Krautrock style that i love it would be FAR OUT.Amazing band !

Both (projects / albums) are Japanese Psych pioneers and prides, let me emphasize. Cool

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Hey you guys - I was just going through various lists on PA - and saw this year´s top releases and spotted a Krautrock releaseShocked 
Anybody here know of a band called Magdalena Solis?
I just listened to a few tracks, and they really sound interesting to put it mildly:

And this one, founded by Makoto Kawabata, Atsushi Tsuyama (Acid Mothers Temple) and Tatsuya Yoshida (Ruins etc.).

I know what you mean. After I´d written the original post for the suggest new bands thread, I went back into the archives just to check, because I knew I´d seen the name here before. Just goes to show how much music there is on here! I found a Danish band called Et Cetera - that I´d never heard of before - plus one from your home-turf John. Canada. 
Then I thought to myself: Hiseman, Coryell and Weber - this band´s got to be featured here somewhere, and went back again to look under Wolfgang Dauner.... Man, it took me about an hour to establish, that they weren´t on hereLOL
And yeah, you know the whole tag thing is probably going to be difficult, because you´ve got two different albums - at least from what I´ve heard on YouTube. The first is very much an experiment with Krautrock, strange Indian music and fusion, whereas the second sounds more rocking to me. Oh well it´s just a freakin tag, and maybe more people will take a chance on them, if they´re featured under fusion instead of the frightening terrors of Germanic Kosmische MusikLOL

Oooohhh I remember that look, from when I was a small boy. Tight pants and a mulletLOL Well it´s fashionable again John, so you can safely bring out all your fancy 80s clothes again...

BTW - I just suggested Et Cetera for Krautrock. Damn - this band is awesome! You´ve got Wolfgang Dauner (crazy experimental jazz freak with close ties to the scene), the drummer from Exmagma, Jon Hiseman(!), Eberhard Weber
and Larry CoryellShocked 
You guys need to hear this live track, that incorporates an Indian tarang into some pretty sweaty and juicy Krautrock:



This is from the second one with Hiseman and Coryell:


There are some other vids posted in the thread, if you want to hear some moreSmile

^^  Yeah those pants are crazy.I'm old enough to remember wearing bell-bottomed pants in elementary school,so i was maybe 12 years old or so.I had striped ones,some had the pockets a different colour from the rest of the pants.But that was the style then besides long hair.Oh and i actually had platformed shoes too.LOL Yes it was quite the look.Cool Then the eighties came and it was tight pants and a mullett.Dead

I really dig A. R. & Machines too! Die Grüne Reise is such a trip. 

I keep listening to those mad Exmagma guys. They are fantastic! I mean the American drummer is about as loose as you could ever be as a drummer, without falling off the chair, but he´s also very tight and rumbling in the right places.
This piece really demonstrates why I keep talking about them in this wonderful Krautrock thread:



Those pictures during the vid are a hoot! I need some flared pantsCool
