Hey gang! I just listened to Deuter's D yestarday and enjoyed it immensly for its proportion of ambient and more melodic stuff with a nice selection of instruments. What albums would you guys recommend up that alley?

You have to admire someone with the nerve to entitle a song Krishna Eating Fish And Chips  .My suggestion is And The Waters Opened by Between (1973). |

I thought some of you guys might be interested in this.
Yes, it is an "introduction", but it's phenomenally written, exceptionally interesting, and it is just dead good in my opinion. |

I like his early work, and the first 4 or 5 albums, even though they state that he was a part of this and that. I do not "see" that connection in the music at all ... I just hear and feel the music for what it is. The first album is very different from the rest in my book. BTW ... some folks might find interesting the post I made on the CAN thread about improvisations. It will likely get some of us to go re-listen to some of the things listed in this thread!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I'm listening a reissue of In Den Gärten Pharaos from Popol Vuh, there's two unrealeased tracks as bonus, they're excellent!
But i could only find part 1 on Youtube

I've just finished listening to Sternenmaskerade once again and it has confirmed to be one of my favorite krautrock albums of all time. Awesomesauce!

It is a good article thanks, I was interested to see Manuel was classically trained before taking up the blues. I'm not a great fan of the blues in general, but make an exception for Look At Your Sun . |

I've just been through the Krautrock albums I have looping round on my iPod to see how many there are for each year, excluding two or three much later reunion type efforts, with the following results suggesting the golden age only really lasted about five years. I should perhaps also mention that Delay 1968 wasn't actually released until 1981 and everything on my list after 1981 is the tail off from Tangerine Dream.
1968 * 1969 *** 1970 ******************** 1971 **************************** 1972 ***************************** 1973 *********************** 1974 *********************** 1975 ************ 1976 ********* 1977 ****** 1978 ***** 1979 **** 1980 *** 1981 1982 ** 1983 ** 1984 * 1985 1986 ** |

^^Ash Ra Tempel's music has a lot of blues influences, something that Manuel often remarked. The opening track from Schwingungen is just straight-up cosmic blues. That influence also reverbrates on Seven Up.
Here is the interview with Manuel by FACT magazine (which I consider one of the finest music mags these days, along with The Wire). He also says about how one of the pieces on New Age Of Earth is inspired by Fleetwood Mac's "Albatross", just electronic and modern. I really find it fascinating how one totally different piece from totally different circles, eras, movements, genres could have inspired that one. Check it out, the interview is pure awesomeness! Or is it just me, the ultra fan of Manuel Gottsching? |

I'm glad to see Manuel survived the 70s and it was good to hear about the different sorts of music he produced. I hadn't heard his solo work but had a listen to Inventions on YouTube and as I thought from what he was saying in the interview he'd had similar ideas of echoing the guitar to Achim Reichel on his A.R. & Machines albums.

I'm currently having a good listen to the Krautrock - Music for Your Brain box sets I bought between 2010 and 2013 when Vol. 5 came out. Amazingly there was still good music left to be put on CD 30

i had to do 32 hours overtime for work this week and finally got a chance to invest some of the profits in more of the albums sampled in the above compilation. The others will be coming on CD but this one was only available on MP3 so I'm listening to it now

Thanks Ulrich, and I'm glad to see you have ebook formats available for when it's disappeared from the bookshops
 .What I most enjoy about 1970s Krautrock is the way the musicians seemed able to do what they liked, maybe take a bit from other music or possibly experiment wildly, and the record companies would still release whatever they came up with. British prog rock may arguably have produced a number of more impressive technical and compositional works but I feel some of the fun and atmosphere was lost due to a desire to make "serious" music and also in the pressure to sound distinctive and unique - for example once Jethro Tull had used the flute, anyone else would have been considered derivative, but people in Germany didn't appear to worry about such things

It's just as well there is a Kindle edition as I was able to read the Amazon "Look Inside" excerpt at which point I decided it was too academic for me and bought David Stubbs' "Future Days: Krautrock and the Building of Modern Germany" instead. This is more what I was looking for and I've so far enjoyed the chapters on Amon Düül II and Can
