 Topic: ALL Deutschland Prog Appreciation Thread...Posted: December 31 2008 at 05:30 |

This is a thread where to introduce everything about the German progressive bands... just like the Italian, RIO and other topics... and in order to not allow anyone think I'm only a Grobschnitt fan I'm starting with the album I'm playing right now...
Strange Guys (Mythos) I'll write a review of this album because I could believe it's a... 2.25 Strange Guys is at least four stars.... Also this thread is motivated because so many people never listen to some great bands from Germany... |

I can hardly say I'm not a German progrock afficionado, especially since I got heavy favorites in the Berlin electronic school, and I like exploring the Krautrock music.

For me Italy and German have the best progressive... England is the most important country...
There is a Grobschnitt's song which anyone must know... Suntrip... Why? In the 1969, Joachim Ehrig, Stefan Danielak and Gerd-Otto Kühn had a band called The Crew... They played in some places and events songs of their idols like Hendrix, but they also have a song composed at that this... The Suntrip... There is a Suntrip live version recorded at Hagen (69) and included into 'The History Of Solar Music Vol. 3' we can see the fantastic mix between psychedelic, krautrock and space rock... Krautrock, Zeuhl, R.I.O. are GREAT progressive styles... Amon Duul II is EXCELLENT... Phallus Dei could be consider one of the fathers of the progressive rock... The German bands are less inspired by the english rock than any other country... they have a unique style...  |

Eloy is like Camel, a young band if compared with some others but with great albums... Floating, Dawn, Ocean, Eloy Live all four or five stars...

Because they are deeper in the underground of music than before. At the moment, besides pop-rock and hip-hop, the electronic music scene seems to be the most productive one. If you are a fan of more ambient and electronic music, you might enjoy some of it. Still, as I am not that familiar with those bands, I am not the right one to recommend some acts
While I still can not enjoy Tangerine Dream or Klaus Schulze, my appreciation for Can as well as Kraftwerk is growing. Now, expanding my Eloy-collection, I realise that a lot of great music comes from my homecountry. Crazy but somehow beautiful..
While on the more symphonic or folky side, there also are bands like Hoelderlin or Novalis, who also are worth a listen.
To continue local patriotism (
 ), I strongly recommend Peter Bursch and his Bröselmaschine. They released some great albums, but are rather unknown. While probably not being as jam-focused as others, their style is fascinating to me.What distracts me from some German groups are the lyrics. It is something else for me to hear them in my native language. While I understand English or Spanish, I don't take care of the lyrics that much. Especially Electric Orange make it difficult for me to like them..

I hope someone can tell me about at least few bands... Metabolismus (http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=2550) seems to be a good new german band... |

Have you tried a search like http://www.progarchives.com/top-prog-albums.asp?salbumtypes=1&syears=2009&syears=2008&syears=2007&syears=2006&syears=2005&syears=2004&syears=2003&syears=2002&syears=2001&scountries=77&scountries=177&sminratings=0&smaxratings=0&sminavgratings=1.0&smaxresults=250&x=89&y=5
this huge link before?
Personally, I forgot about Dark Suns, Haggard (though not THAT new, as well as Poverty's No Crime) and Sylvan (check out Posthumous Silence!). Also, for something more unknown, Sunpath is worth a listen. All those bands (besides Sylvan) are more or less located in the metal realm. I hope you find something for you

Solar Music Live is the top german album here in PA, but it's only 30° including all countries...
This is really an important prove how german bands are not appreciate as they deserves...  |

Guru Guru, Can, Amon Düül 2 and Embryo are among my very favourite bands. Up to a certain point also Tangerine Dream, but sadly they changed their music completely and became less interesting. Of the lesser known bands I especially like Dzyan, Annexus Quam, Frumpy (although they are rather untypical for a German band), and Between. To name just a few though. Krautrock rules!

Amon Duul on tour again. Renate is 60 and she still has it . I hate all the Grace Slick comparisons. Renate`s weird witchy vocals are sensual in a very well, unique witchy way. Chris Karrer is simply an amazing multi-instrumentalist/composer. I`ll be in the UK in the Spring but I can`t find any dates yet anywhere. Anyone?

There is a lot of German bands I hadn´t listened to yet.
The ones I know of are Embryo and Birth Control (I like them
but have to come over again with more open ears) and
Vanden Plas (I love some of their albums and they have
Wish you were here in Christ.0 which is one of my favourite
songs from any band).
I´ll go slowly cause there´s a lot to know and, I´m hoping, to enjoy.

Good advice there. I got into them one by one throughout the seventies and early part of the eighties. Go slow some of it can get really crazy.

There's so much great "Prog" from Germany.
Faust is one of the bands that got me into Krautrock. |
