My favorites in Krautrock is CAN, Faust, and Neu!. Speaking of Popol Vuh, recently I have acquired the taste for PV. I'm listening to In Den Garten Pharoahs, and it is better now than when I first heard it. I guess I didn't have the patience for that ambient kraut sound. I started getting into the more ambient side of Kraut after listening to, and really liking Traummachine by Ash Ra Tempel.



Iīm with you on Mani! Being a drummer myself I tend to fall for the more messy players. Those also happen to be them who throws themselves into the drums. If you see Gavin Harrison or Neil Peart playing the drums, youīll see two stoic figures behind the kit, whereas a guy like Mani and Schulze for that matter use their whole upper-body, thereby also making mistakes. BUT to me that is the best thing - when musicians use their mistakes - deliberately seeks them out. Jimi Hendrix did...

BTW nice youīre getting into Popol Vuh and some of that creepy crawly ambient Kraut - I had a hard time getting into that stuff as well, but now it seems to be the stuff I enjoy the most - go figure. 


I'm so with you on the whole messy drumming! Being a drummer myself Embarrassed I too enjoy that these drummers mistakes are seen, but in a very good way. It wasn't bad, but there was so much going on, it felt like part of the music anyways. My favorite drummer is Klaus Dinger. I just love his motorik style, very simple, but precise. It's hard to play the way he does, but when I listen to him play, I know what he is doing.

^ Haha nice! So you probably heard it through his awesome set up!?



I have Faust 71 Minutes, and I had this song on the other day, eating at the school cafeteria. Everyone and everything felt so mechanical and robotic, watching the people walk and talk, I felt like I was not apart of the world, but that I was watching it...Wacko great stuff.

I recently talked to Logan about that Docteur Faust album, that you donīt particularly like (LOL), but were we both had found some sort of way into this album by listening to it at the seashore. 

I love that Malesch album, but more than often I tend to grab for the pink oneBig smile
 
The pink what ?
I think "Last" might be my favourite recording by them.It's just so different from the rest.We get a more dynamic sound at times to more of a Tangerine Dream electronic soundscapes.It just really clicks with me.

There you go again confirming what i've said for yearsLOL.I'm sure you love that ORGANISATION album too,or were you including that ? Love their early stuff.Apparently they aren't too fond of their early stuff and refuse to re-issue them.

I wasnīt actually, but now that I think of it - yeah, the first 4 albums are brilliant examples of early KrautrockWink

Maybe they think  the cybotronic lifeless and sterile world theyīve managed to conjure up during the past 35 years will be disturbed and somehow become ambiguous? I donīt know, but itīs a shame that they discredit their own legacy, just because their tastes have changed. I hate when artists do that!

I'm playing catchup here guys so forgive me for all the posts.
Andrew that's a great way to describe Mani's drumming.He's like a man possessed isn't he ? Yet like you say he's loose at the same time. Would you believe that FAUST only recently clicked with me.I never could get past the experimental aspect of their music until recently.Hey that's their thing right ?
Love CAN and POPOL VUH and i  was just thinking the other day i haven't listened to NEU! for a while.
Hey you mention Traummachine(German for Dream-machine) do you have "Join Inn" ? I think you'd like the second side long track on that one as well.

Florian Schneider's flute, Klaus Dinger's motorik drumming, Ralf Hutter's hammond effects were for me personally the main sounds of early Kraftwerk.

They did some awesome live stuff in 1971 with Michael Rother on guitar, with a hard, distorted sound.
                                                                 I love what Rother did later, quite different for sure Wink some call it musak but for me it's beautiful music

I love Flammende HerzenBig smile and itīs with Jaki Liebezeit too!!!     Yes !!! this one and the two following others Smile

I didnīt know that. Jaki has played with so many people - itīs hard to keep track of! Is one of them called Katzenmusik?

Brilliant! 
Heīs certainly going on my never-ending list. Thanks Bonnek! 
BTW I read your Metanoia review, and Iīm glad Iīm not the only one who thinks itīs a terrific experiment! Almost Krautrock on that one.
