It will probably sound better with more spins though. Sometimes less is more... he says while listening to Zeit Cool

Yes indeed, and Gavin Harrison is nowhere to be heard Clap

David, is this the one you mean?

If so, yep, totally agree. Especially improves after the first track too...and absolutely a Krautrock album in it's own way!

Oh yes that's the one!
It is also known simply as 'll'.
I most definitely hear it as a "Krautrock" even if that makes no sense whatsoever. It is currently sitting on the shelf between Dzyan's Time Machine and Walter Wegmüller's Tarot
Sweden in particular had something of a pseudo Krautrock scene with Älgarnas Trädgård, Arkimedes Badkar (second album), Arbete & Fritid, International Harvester and the likes.

Hah those Ikarus vocals are indeed atrocious. They were the only thing bringing the album down if I remember correctly, but it's been ages since my last spin.

Well, I have keep spinning the new Electric Orange one, mate, and I was probably very hasty in my somewhat early dismissal. Playing it LOUD delivers much more satisfying results! So I'll keep at it...I'm actually a little OD'd on E. OJ at the moment, bought three recent discs of them in the one go!

That Ikarus album...it was a blind buy, because it literally sounded on paper like everything I dig about those kind of jazzy/adventurous proto-prog kind of albums, and there was also THAT cover to fall in love with...but yeah, very quickly I keep coming back to the opinion of `Oh, man, just stop f*cking singing for a bit!!' But as you kind of suggest, everything else about is top-notch and totally reliable. Will keep at it!

I know exactly what you mean. EO can get a little samey which is why I tend to stick to the releases where they pull it off best ie Vol 10, Morbus and Krautrock From Hell.

Life's too short for great music with horrendous vocals....or is it? I've been listening to a fair bit of Eloy lately and while I think the new Joan of Arc reeks of retirement home, I keep on coming back for Planets.
Seriously though that new one needs a kick up its own backside. I hear a lot of great potential marred by far too sleepy and polite playing.

Do share your thoughts in the future.

Definitely heard it years ago, think I had a dodgy download of it from a blog page many a year ago, but had hoped to have a CD reissue of it by now. I wouldn't have listened to it in about ten years now at this point, but always remember it was VERY good. I think a little while back it had one of those special Japanese Mini LP pressings, I should really get onto it. Just that whenever I come across Mini LP pressings from that country, my attention always focuses on the classic RPI discs that get that treatment!

Did you like that Eden one, Sagi? I reviewed it just the other day, I think it's wonderful! Although I was discussing it soon after with someone who thinks it's totally forgettable, so what do I know?! 

I was just thinking of that `Bebe Godzilla' album the other day, I accidently got it confused with another jazzy Zeuhl stunner - George Jinda's `The Wheel of Love'...wish I had EITHER of them! 
It's definitely a good album, not so special for my taste though. I can't help but think that it could have been much better if they had more emphasis on playing and lay off the vocals for a bit, although sung in German which is not easy for my ears they are maybe the most pleasant that I've heard.
The first track is my favorite so I wish the rest could have been close to that one, but anyway I like coming back to it whenever I'm in the mood, I do like it.

Just spotted Artaud there Samuel - how did it fare?

I always post yesterday's pickings so I thought I'd change it up and actually do what the thread asks of me.
Today:
Magic Bus - Philip The Egg (anyone heard this album? A must for early Canterbury fans)
Cluster - Zuckerzeit
Jumbo - D.N.A.
Boards Of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest
Donald Byrd - Electric Bird (man I'd forgotten just how much I adore this delicious slice of psychedelic fusion)
Fleet Foxes - Crack-Up (Soooooo good)
Kendrick Lamar - DAMN
Kebnekaise - s/t (folk rock meets nordic folk music meets fusion meets Krautrock...straight outta Sweden! One of my old faves)
Floating Points - Reflections - Mojave Desert (One of the finest little releases of 2017. A small epiphany caught live on tape in the desert)

I'd probably dig Summer in Denmark :P

That was enough Van Damme for a while, but I'll keep that in mind. I guess I can't trust ratings here, I don't like the top rated albums (other than Godbluff) and I much prefer the ones with lower ratings.

That's like summer here man
Kudos that you finally found the keys to Van Damme though. If you're willing to take the next step I'd recommend ALT. It's instrumental
