 Maybe this one could be of some interest for the den. Krautrrock ? Not so far. L'enfant assassin des mouches : The chlid killer of flies. JEAN CLAUDE VANNIER (1971) |

I have this one and it´s a wild mix of everything under the sun. Nearly every tune is mixed up with different styles of music. Salsa, Kraut, Symphonic, blues, rock, fusion. I simply adore this one, and at some point in the near future it will certainly be receiving the appropriate 5 stars from yours truly - just like it deserves. Love this one. |

Yes, David, Jean claude Vannier is one of our national treasure. His other mastepiece "Melody Nelson" with Serge Gainsbourg has just been reisuued last month in a fantastic edition of 2 Cd and 1 DVD.
He wrote too for Serge and Jane the music of the movie Cannabis. Really good too ... and hot ! |

I'll add my praise to that Vannier album released in 1971.I gave it 4.5 stars but it probably deserves 5 stars.
Listening to EARTHLESS right now.These three Americans just jam in a heavy manner non-stop
 .Heavy psyche in THE FLOWER TRAVELLIN BAND style. Killer stuff ! |

With a blatant disregard for reviews, I now have the first 4 Mythos albums and "SuperKraut - Live at Stagge's Hotel 1976".

^ I only have their first two so i can't comment on the others but man the ones i have are great.As long as you like them who cares what others think right ?
Listening to EULENSPYGEL right now.Actually i listened to their first two records tonight.I still like the debut best but this is excellent Krautrock from the early seventies with German vocals.They were a seven piece band and there's this comical picture of them in England crossing Abbey Road like THE BEATLES did only there's seven of them so it's a little crowded.

I have listened to samples of the 1979 album Liebeslied by Eulenspygel on Amazon, but this is fairly standard rock music, so luckily I don't have to buy it

Jean Claude Vannier seems well known by the Den. But maybe less our electronic french genius : Mr François de Roubaix.

That is one bizarre album, I totally agree with you Keishiro I bought it a couple of years back when I visited Berlin, and I can honestly say that I absolutely hated it when I first heard it During the last couple of years though, I´ve been opening up to the wilder and more abstract kinds of music, and suddenly I find myself speaking with this album like I indeed knew its language... Strange music.I´m listening to FAUST´s second one right now  |

Uhuuhuuh that's a bit tough! Like many other acts and bands inside other styles of music - Krautrock often relies on the feel of the whole record, but of course there are stand out tracks too. Let me see if I can remember some on the top of my head.
Brainticket - Egyptian Kings http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFO_WNBl7G0 Ash Ra Tempel - Suche and Liebe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCNwE4755X8&feature=related Janus - Gravedigger http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DmwqdhfuKs Faust - Krautrock http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oepHLeTG92s Ash Ra Tempel - L'Hiver Doux (Ok maybe this is just one of my own faves - plus it's more of a Göttsching solo thing) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCYi0uDEWac Guru Guru - Babe Cake Walk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7tLjkX-LgI Agitation Free - First Communication http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdhPSmCnlA8 Nosferatu - Willie the Fox http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnOiZiQCt5I Lard Free - Acid Framboise http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq7cnPB0Wus Popol Vuh - Selig Sind, die da Hungern (Only the first track here) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbr1gDM9mCY Ibliss - Drops http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JPslPOEzqY Kraftwerk - Ruckzuck http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIu2Fr2nIhI A. R. & Machines - Cosmic Vibration http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTHnG97KVxs&feature=related Amon Düül ll - Archangel Thunderbird http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pcla5zyZfA LA Düsseldorf - Düsseldorf http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pcla5zyZfA Prosper - Where the Sun touches the Water http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEDUY5hImi8 Xhol Caravan - Electric Fun Fair http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5crICAswOM Alcatraz - Simple Headphone Mind http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIL1QSgwmRg&feature=related Ok Scott - I'm getting carried away here, but as you can probably see, I could go on and on at this for hours I purposely chose tracks which could fit for the uninitiated in Krautrock, and I hope you find something on there you can use/ and maybe like. From what I can gather reading your never ending stream of reviews (damn what have you been eating boy!) - we don't exactly share the same tastes, but that doesn't diminish the work you've been doing in the slightest. I've been enjoying your reviews thoroughly matey - keep it coming  |

Great list, David
 In fact, my love for Krautrock is made of moments, of songs rather than albums. But they are numerous !
