I think it was because it was my first Krautrock band it inmedeatly repelled me from the genre.

Anyone heard of this one, sound like it could fit the genre, have not heard any music yet. Sounds interesting though.

Niagara:

Niagara’s 1972 “S.U.B.” release on United Artist (Germany). Man finding info on this record is pretty scant. This is definitely a hot morsel of German jazz/kraut/funk. Here’s some words from Gepre.net:

Prog, featuring Danny Fichelscher of Amon Düül II and Popol Vuh. First album is apparently all percussion.
Extremely funky Can soundalikes. This band contains some mainstays of the krautrock movement like Danny Fichelscher of Amon Düül II and Popol Vuh and Udo Lindenberg of something else which I can’t remember. Both these members play percussion on the LP. The LP is percussion heavy (4 percussionists in all) but not just percussion. There are some extremely funky tracks, with wah-wah guitar and busy bass runs. The LP will remind mostly of Tago-Mago period Can but also of Weather Report and an instrumental Santana. Tracks range from 3-12 minutes and there is no singing, mostly trumpets and sax taking on the top lines. “Bones” reminds me of Can playing the Sesame Street soundtrack but don’t let that put you off. Standout track for me is “Kattarh”. A big collectable here in England on vinyl, sought after by DJs as well as prog-fans because of the many break-beats to be found on this LP. I’m not sure what label this was originally on - maybe BASF? —
