I'm Curious, most of the Bands you guys have brought up to the list I have listened to, some of the ones I haven't I'm searching for Mp3 files to give them a try, (Superior, Sieges Even, etc.). But it seems to be there are lots of them not included in the Prog Archives page. So if you have direct links to their Web pages please post them so that we can take a closer look at them and possibly listen to some of their material. I runned a search on "Orange Peel" but it doesn't come up with anything related to a Rock Band or else.

Be kind, share!!!!

 

TXS!!!

My favourites from Germany are (so far): Can, Faust, Kraftwerk and Amon Düül II, but I still haven't heard a lot of German bands.

Glad someone quotes Popol vuh, which are a very big band who created their own style;

No one has mentioned Triumvirat yet.. 
Or then I'm just too sloppy a reader and haven't noticed. But the point is, Triumvirat is among the best German bands too.

A page about them can be found here: http://www.nordseemusikanten.de/sff/

Two of them were former members os Spektakel, who are indeed listed in the ARCHIVES. But where are these guys? They certainly should be here, and I would enjoy submitting reviews about their three recordings.

Fuhrs & Frohling made three duo albums after the trio's break-up.

Regards.

Ivory - Sad Cypress. symphonic prog.

Kraan - Kraan. rock with long jazz-tinged tracks.

Lightshine - Feeling. prog rock with fuzz guitar and dreamy atmospheres.

Novalis - Sommerabend. prog rock.

Orange Peel - Orange Peel. heavy hammond organ dominated prog rock.

Pell Mell - Marburg. heavy guitar prog/hard rock.

Rebekka - Phoenix. prog rock with female vocals similar to Renaissance.

Rousseau - Square the Circle. prog rock similar to Camel.

Satin Whale - Desert Places. Prog rock with flute.

 

 

Christ there is light at the end of the tunnel...some ones actuially commented about the Orange peel album

unfortunately they arent in the archives, but Rousseau sounds interesting, i just need to find some samples somewhere

hmmm, yeah so German bands, I like Grobschnitt quite a bit, looking into getting more of their albums

Amon Duul II is really great.  I only own one Can album, Tago Mago.  At first I didnt like it, but after a few listens and a few more listens of some Amon Duul II albums, i realized how fantastic that album is, parts of it are so boring they are inspirational especially Allulwah (or however it is spelled)

I also very much like Nektar, but I dont consider them a german band, and why anyone would ever mention Krautrock and Nektar in the same sentence is beyond me. 

to me Krautrock makes many modern Indie Rock Bands very worthless and redundant in a mediocre way

Passion/Ocean/anything else

I personally would not rank any of the above bands
as great! If you want to go for the good stuff, stick to
the Kosmiche musik! More along the lines of Pink
Floyd and Tangerine Dream! This is where you are
getting lost, IMO!

Michael Hoenig - Departures From a Northern
Wasteland
Klaus Schulze - Moondawn
Cluster - Zuckerzeit
Ashra - New Age of Earth
Conrad Schnitzler - Ballet Statique
Yatha Sidra - A Meditation Mass
Ashra - Blackouts
Neu! - 75
Micheal Rother - Katzenmusik
Guru Guru - Kanguru
Schicke, Fuhrs & Froeling - Symphonic Pictures

Only if you accept TD as a prog band.................................... as far as I aware that acceptance amongst a few, is only a recent trend............................ Is there an entry for TD in  A Crack In A Cosmic Egg, apparently the bible on these matters?

shows you how english the word "progressive rock" has been perverted. It was easily perverted into jazz fusion, neo prog and avant anything. Hard to put it back in its place when it comes to Continental European progressive rock. The cosmic egg only covers the early Krautrock scene and doesnt include much on the Kosmiche scene throughout europe in the late 70s and early 80s. This music was produced during a simiar period as is not some half pint afterthought.

It it the equal!

I will not rest until the red coats are defeated!
