26 More 70's Albums From German Acts

Anders (please come back) made a topic in May, 2021 titled "Some great 70's albums from Germany" (CLICK) , which was recently revived. The albums, all of which I really like, in his topic are:

Ash Ra Tempel - Ash Ra Tempel
Can - Tago Mago
Cluster - Zuckerzeit
Faust - Faust IV
Kraftwerk - The Man Machine
Neu! - Neu!
Tangerine Dream - Phaedra

Here are some other album from German acts in the 70s that I have appreciated:

Agitation Free - Malesch (1972)
Amon Düül II - Yeti (1970)
A.R. & Machines - Die Grüne Reise (The Green Journey) (1971)
Ashra - New Age of Earth (1974)
Brave New World - Impressions on Reading Aldous Huxley (1972)
Can - Ege Bamyasi (1972)
Cluster - Sowiesoso (1976)
Dom - Edge of Time (1972) (multi national, but formed in Germany)***
Deuter - D (1971)
Dzyan - Electric Silence (1974)
Embryo - Embryo's Rache (1971)
Faust - So Far (1972)
Edgar Froese - Epsilon in Malaysian Pale (1975)
Nina Hagen Band - Nina Hagen Band (1978)*
Harmonia - Deluxe (1975)
Michael Hoenig - Departure from the Northern Wasteland (1978)
Kraan - Kraan (1972)
Kraftwerk - Trans-Europa Express [aka Trans-Europe Express] (1975)
Message - From Books and Dreams (1973)
Neu! - Neu! '75 (1975)
Nico - Desertshore (1970)**
Popol Vuh - Hosianna Mantra (1972)
Klaus Schulze - Mirage (1977)
Tangerine Dream - Ricochet (1975)
Eberhard Weber - The Colours of Chloë (1974)
Yatha Sidhra - A Meditation Mass (1974)

* Nina Hagen Band is not in PA, but musically relevant.
** Nico also is not in PA but I think musically relevant. She was born in Germany, which is why I opted to include this album I love even though this album was produced in England (primarily), and France.
*** Even though Dom's Edge of Time is one of my very favourite albums, I missed it at first. It's listed at PA as multinational, but was formed in Germany and is very much Krautrock. I combined it in one like with Deuter even though it so very well deserves its own space.

Of course there are a huge many more from the region and period and some popular names not on the list. I encourage others to make polls on the same topic. And feel free to vote for up to five albums from my list.

Hi,

richardh wrote: Edgar Froese, TD and Kraftwerk is all I can do unfortunately. Epsilon In Malaysian Pale is probably my favourite 'Non prog' mellotron album not that I know that many! I have heard the Klaus Schulze album at some point but it's been a while so I won't vote for that. I know nothing else on the list. If it's not got someone called Edgar or Frank on it then I'm struggling!

Richard, you need to hear Hoening's Departure from the Northern Wasteland!

I can only vote for TD, Froese & Schulze here I'm afraid.... all three are really super

Voted New Age of Earth for being utterly unique among Gottsching's works.  Top runners-up Faust, Hoenig, Popol Vuh, Agitation Free
