Hi,
I was thinking that if I had to list things, it would easily be about 25% of my music collection, if not more!

Hi, Wonderful listing. My big issue is that I would want 2 or 3 AD2 albums, adding New Age of Earth to Ash Ra Tempel, Future Days/Tago Mago/Ege Bamyasi to Can, at least one or two more albums to Edgar's listing, Klaus Schulze's listing would have at least 10 more albums, and TD at least that many! Both TD and KS have the largest amount of material in my collection. Just simply the biggest "friend" one could ever have in the arts, not just music! PS: And we're missing Grobschnitt and Popol Vuh which would also have about 5 to 6 albums!

I started this exercise and got wrapped up in other business. The number of German albums in my collection is not much more than 50. But very few of them are less than amazing. Many of my favorites are from the last 10 years. I will do the 1 album per artist routine, though there would be a couple of artists that would dominate otherwise.
1. Squintaloo - Über Bord! 2. Panzerballet - Hart Genossen Von ABBA Bis Zappa 3. Tangerine Dream - Stratosfear 4. Colonel Petrov's Good Judgement - Among Servants 5. Sieges Even - A Sense of Change 6. Klaus Schulze - Mirage 7. Lind - A Hundred Years (The Justification of Reality: Part I) 8. Robert Schroeder - D.MO Vol.4 (Harmonic Decadence) 9. Schizofrantik - Ripping Heartaches 10. Marco Minneman - Using this spot for the Normalizer series which is attributed to multiple artists like Trey Gunn, Phi Yan Zekk, and Alex Machacek. All of these artists took the same "open source" (for lack of a better term) 52 minute drum solo written by Minneman and wrote their own scores over it. Every one of the albums I have heard is amazing. |

Hi, The best (for me) and most far out thing RS ever did was his very first album, that was done on Klaus Schulze's label, on a 45RPM release for a LP ... with one other accidental thing ... the album could also be played on the regular 33RPM speed, and the result? Absolutely astoundingly SONIC stuff that made it not only Gothic, but also totally outstanding and actually better than the 45 RPM version that all of a sudden comes across as very "pop'y" music. You have to have the LP to hear this, since a release of what I am saying will never happen. But, the results are way too good and far out ... and I would love to hear/see our friend Dave even try this and come up with something ... not a single band, or exercise out there has ever done this, and sounded so good.

Harmonic Ascendant is listed as his very first release on Innovative Communication (KS' label) but I find no reference to it being 45rpm. It's a fantastic album. The album I listed, Harmonic Decadence was recorded prior to Harmonic Ascendant but never released until 2017. They are both fantastic albums, but I give the edge to Decadence. It just has a more organic sound, if that's even something we can really put our finger on. The other 2 I love are Cygnus A and 1989's greatly under appreciated Pegasus. |

That's very exiting top list, Paul.
I'll try to join here if it won't be too hard for me to do the ranking, or I can just skip the ranking of the top 12, at least. And I can already tell you that my top 12 will be very different from yours.  Edit: Then, I can tell you that this has given me an idea of another national top list.

Sticking to just one album from each, a top 12 from the olden days is fairly easy for me. It’s subject to change, like any list I make, but I feel reasonably confidant about the following:
Agitation Free - 2nd Can - Tago Mago Holgar Czukay - Movies Electric Sun - Earthquake Eloy - Ocean Et Cetera - Et Cetera Hoelderlin - Hoelderlin Os Mundi - 43 Minuten Popul Vuh - In Den Gärten Pharaos Klaus Schulze - Dune Scorpions - Lonesome Crow Zyma - Thoughts (NB, the above is unranked, and in alphabetical order only.) On the other hand, a list of my top 12 more modern albums is a lot more difficult. I’ll give it a little thought and come back to it.

Hi, The album is called FLOATING MUSIC. I imagine that it is not available at all, and if it is, the price is way out of line. I think I might have to mp3 this, so folks can hear it, but I imagine that both Klaus folks (KS and his manager) will probably get upset with if they hear about this. They DO KNOW about this, and I have mentioned it many times for the last 40 years, btw. I ORIGINALLY put on the album at 33 RPM not finding or seeing that is said 45 RPM. The sad thing was that after the hardcore heavy stuff at 33 RPM, the album just sounded right down pedestrian at 45 RPM. I have to admit that I lost some interest on RS, though I have like 3 or 4 albums (all on CD except FM).

^It's actually available on YouTube. Almost all of the search entries are played at 33RPM. There is a single 3 minute clip titled "fast version". Very interesting. Speeds can be changed on YouTube, but they pitch correct so it would not be the same. Probably would not be anyway due to digital compression.
I know what you mean about his music and having a hard time staying interested. I got lucky when I found Pegasus at a thrift store, which is a gem that came out between albums where he had already shifted into a more electro-pop/EDM style, which I have no interest in. But those first couple, the "Harmonics" and Galaxie Cygnus a, are upper tier Berlin School albums. |
