Hmmmm Eloy aren't Krautrock at all!

My top ten would be something like this, in no specific order of course with only one album per artist:

Cluster-Cluster II
NEU!-NEU!75
Popol Vuh-In Den Garten Pharaos
Can-Tago Mago
Faust-So Far
Dieter Moebius and Conny Plank-Rastakraut Pasta
Tangerine Dream-Zeit
Klaus Schulze-X (don't know if it's really Krautrock, but still AMAZING nonetheless)
Amon Duul II-Phallus Dei (hard to choose just one of their albums)
Embryo-We Keep On (hard to choose just one from them)

Tough calls on some artists, but I think it's a pretty good list.

Wilkommen Cheesecakemouse...!

That's a great start to an unforgettable journey...!

However, remember the Golden rules to Krautrock:

...don't stray too far from '69 through '74
...stay with the big names first
...be very wary of the 'this is the German Floyd /(insert English band here)' recommendations
...apart from Faust don't touch anything from the '80s
...be very careful with that eBay 200 dollar bid for an Ohr original LP having not heard it first
...and always remember that your real friends aren't interested in a 1st pressing "Pilz" mushroom logo spinning on your turntable (or a fried egg)

Yeah...! "X" is fantastic...! Was it Klaus on the kit or the geezer from Wallenstein...? All I remember was side 1 of the vinyl was a side-long 25 minute bliss-fest. Great to see the early Ash Ra Tempel pictures in the gatefold-booklet as well. Stunning sleeve.

Eloy: Intelligent, indulgent, stoned, early '70s, Rodney Matthews' artwork, and German. Musically, not my cup of tea but let's have 'em in this thread.

  1. Can - Soon Over Babaluma (1974)
  2. Faust - Faust IV (1974)
  3. Amon Duul 2 - Wolf City (1973)
  4. Amon Duul 2 - Tanz der Lemminge (1971)
  5. Popol Vuh - Hosianna Mantra (1972)
  6. Neu! - Neu! (1972)
  7. Popol Vuh - Einsj臠er & Siebenj臠er (1973)
  8. Amon Duul 2 - Yeti (1970)
  9. Amon Duul 2 - Phallus Dei (1969)
  10. Neu! - Neu! '75 (1975)

OK, so I gave 12.  Sue me.  I have slightly different kraut tastes, namely I HATE Damo Suzukis voice and much prefer Can after he left.

NetsNJFan...!

I'm gonna have to sue you...

...not because you 'and I quote "hate Damo's voice" '
...not because you "gave 12"
...not because you prefer one slightly-off pickled cabbage to another

But because you rate "Wolf City" better than "Carnival In Babylon"

Have your day in court !

Hi Mr. Dallas...

...please read my 1st post...

...start with ANYTHING on the Delta Acoustic label
...sell your loft to buy Sand's "Golem" on vinyl
...then another apartment for Dom's "Edge Of Time"
...then when you find "Four Letter Monday Afternoon" on vinyl please visit Tokyo and press pin-pon

My favourite electronic music from the late '70s is all from France...

...Archaia
...Heldon/Pinhas
...Hellebore
...Arachnoid

...but I know it's not what you have in mind.

In England these guys are awesome...! Give 'em a call...!

http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/ultimathule/

Two brothers Alan and Steve...any subject...doesn't matter...these guys know everything.



Are you interested in the classical electronic works of the '50s and '60s ? Much better stuff there than in the '80s I fancy...!
