That's a problem for many people - most Krautrock albums are almost impossible to find. Maybe as vinyl, but for a person like me who switched to CDs long ago, it IS impossible.


The most famous bands like Can, Neu! etc. are not hard to find but the more obscure ones can be pretty difficult to hunt down.

Now it's recommending a band called "Silver Apples" ... this is really weird stuff. Do you know them?



I know them. I love them, in fact. Yet, it's a psychedelic band from the 60's. Their first two albums are trully classics! It sounds like music that wasn't made on Earth, f**kin amazing to say the least!
And above all, is punk

Don't forget the newer bands n the vein of TD: Godspeed You! Black Emperor is a perfect example...

and there's a web site dedicated to tangerine dream, called "Stephan's Tangerine Dream Web Pages", sorry, I don't know the addrtess! (I got it as a html help file lumped into a TD mp3 disc, Russian!) There's a "similar artists" page, among which I remember Ozric Tantacles and King Crimson!

Not everything needs to sound exactly likr TD, though, there are certain similarities. Stephan himself doesn't know the bands I mentioned, either...

maybe I'll search some more

oh, not to mention Kraftweerk, which, according to TD official site, "represents more or less the opposite way of making electronic music"! I can recommend the first 2 albums (self-titled), ;Ralf and Florian, and the first actual Kraftwerk album, Tone Float LP under the title Organisation... Great experimental proto-electronic krautrock stuff! Maybe "Autobahn" can please TD fans to an extent, too... I don't guarantee! check out the reviews in the discography!

 
Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret:
Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!)

In Europe, and especially in the UK, there is very TD inspired wave of new EM bands like Red Shift, Free System Project, Rudy Adrian and Airsculpture. You can dream away with pulsating sequencers and many violin-Mellotron waves, it often sounds like Phaedra TD!

Take a look at : www.e-detionmag.com, this is a Dutch magazine in the Dutch and Enlgish language about Electronic music, very interesting for EM fans!

Hello Roaryg.

You are still alive? What about my suggestions?

Shpongle anyone? Or maybe not...

Of course ... although they may be too "modern" for some. But I LOVE them!

Going back to the mid-70s, you might also try Agitation Free - Last
or the first two albums by Jean-Michel Jarre - Equinox and Oxygène.
the last two are more in the vein of late 70s Tangerine, a bit more
commercial
