The somewhat derogatory-sounding genre of Krautrock has always been a big favourite Between prog fans here at ProgArchives. Not surprisingly, German musicians tend to reject the term "Krautrock" as being a subjective British phenomenon, although the term is generally used in an affectionate way to describe the German music we love. Bearing in mind what Logan mentioned in his Message below - about no longer being allowed to embed full albums here - I've decided to give this interactive thread a total revamp and change it into a classic German prog blog instead. I'll post a link to each full album (if available) from the list of artists below, as well as featuring a favourite track from every album. I'll also be using the same A-Z format here as my Prog Britannia channels, in Between running my Out of Focus Dutch prog blog, and for fans of Tangerine Dream, I've also included Edgar Froese and Klaus Schulze in the first A-Z list (see below). Also, I just HAD to include Eloy in the list too, after seeing how highly regarded they are here at ProgArchives. This is your Passport to Krautrock Utopia, so feel free to Message me anytime without hesitation if you want to see any other classic German bands included here as I'm always friendly and Agitation FreeSmile

I changed the title of this interactive thread from "The A to Z of Krautrock" to the subtly different "An A to Z of Krautrock" because this thread isn't intended to be a definitive A to Z of Krautrock. It's just a bit of fun. Smile

Hi,

The letter A has a problem ... I would never consider/vote for Agitation Free over Amon Duul 2.

You can post an album for Amon Duul 2 when we come back 'round to the letter "A" again, if we ever get that far. Smile

^ I'm glad you came along Friede now we've reached the letter "E" because you're much more familiar with the music of Embryo than I am. I've never heard any of Embryo's albums before, but I'll definitely give "Rocksession" a listen now you've kindly posted it. Thumbs Up

At one Embryo concert Jean and I were at the band played extremely complicated rhythms, but everybody was dancing to them. You certainly won't find that often.

I have a band called Gila lined up for the letter "G", although I just need to check that they're listed as Krautrock. Smile

I wouldn’t exclude the letter X, Xhol Caravan is good and in Pa’s Krautrock category. I like Electrip.

Of course PA’s Krautrock category has an alphabetical list, though I think it might be more fun if people only post albums they already had heard/are in their collection. Though then that sounds like a Just For Fun type of topic.
http://www.progarchives.com/subgenre.asp?style=17" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/subgenre.asp?style=17

For me there is too much focus at PA on lists and list making rather than ideas.

Anyway, I’ll do H, but we are supposed to avoid linking to full albums, especially discouraged from embedding full albums, samples or a track or two is okay I think, unless that is the whole album. People can always search for the whole album on YouTube if they want to (we especially make exceptions when it comes to suggesting bands).

For H, Hanuman. Here is a track from the self-titled album:



By the way, there are plenty of “Proggers” who are not big on Krautrock. It is one of my very favourite categories.

^ Hi Logan. Are you saying we can't post any more full Krautrock albums on this thread? Confused
By the way, I didn't realise Xhol Caravan were listed here under Krautrock. Smile

It has been the expectation and request that people avoid posting full album videos (embeds) and significant material from albums (so not many tracks from an album) at the forums generally (not just this topic) without permission/allowance from the artists or labels. I would think that a hyperlink may be preferable (say to bandcamp, spotify or youtube) if wishing to exhibit more than a portion. This is partially out of respect for the artists, not just any risk of complaints, not all of which have approved of people sharing music this way. When it's come to formal evaluation for placement, full album embeds have been more common.

People who want to check out the music probably wouldn't mind clicking on, say, a youtube link anyway. I for one would rather just check out someone's favoured track from an album, and If I like that, then I will listen to more. I don't think that many people bother checking out the music in many of these topics anyway. I wish people did more because I like that kind of interactivity and to hear people's impressions of music. Of course with some albums they can only be found in full (and some albums have but one piece of music).

I guessed with Xhol Caravan that you didn't realise that.

By the way, I know that B was done, and I'm partially thinking of this because of your The Doors topic ("The End" by the Doors) but this is my favourite track off of one of my favourite albums in Krautrock:



Being the longest on the album, it is a big portion of the album.

Why don't you just edit your opening post where you say :

"The idea is that we run through the entire alphabet (excluding the letter "X") choosing one Krautrock artist (as defined by ProgArchives) for each letter of the alphabet and then post a TRACK FROM an album by that artist right here."

I was just getting into the thread and members suggestions were really interesting Wink

I propose JeGong for J:

https://jegong.bandcamp.com/album/i" rel="nofollow - https://jegong.bandcamp.com/album/i

JEGONG is the amalgamation of two distinct forces within post-rock and heavy music, Dahm Majuri Cipolla, drummer of MONO (Japan) & Watter, and Reto Mäder of Sum Of R. Together the pair is readying their debut longplayer I for release on October 20th via Berlin-based Pelagic Records, helmed by members of beloved post-metallers The Ocean. Bursting with new ideas while tipping their hat to legends of yore, the duo’s energies focus on the crossroads between Krautrock, ambient and post-rock, bringing to mind acts ranging from Ash Ra Tempel, GAS, Cluster, Mogwai and more while blazing trails with their electronic-forward approach. 

JEGONG, named in tribute to a track by Cluster’s Dieter Moebius, was formed by shared musical influence and a friendship developed during a European tour when Sum Of R and Cipolla’s band Watter intersected during the former’s routing towards the highly respected European festival Roadburn. During their encounters, the pair bonded over the musical output of the early 70s, specifically the intersection of electronic music and boundary-pushing experimentalism found in Krautrock that gave rise to classic acts like Can, Faust, Tangerine Dream, Neu! and more. In this spirit, if not also musically, is where the soul of the JEGONG project lies– melodic, genre-pushing, fascinating and honoring the past while looking toward the future. 

The classic Krautrock movement may provide the bedrock for all that is JEGONG, but the project is far from a “worship” band. Instead of aping core elements of the movement, the duo used the style as a launch pad to move into uncharted realms– thereby conjuring the original, truly bold spirit of the style. The result is a record without inhibition– delving deep into psychedelia, ambient, repetition, post-rock and even elements of dystopian sci-fi soundtracks like Blade Runner and Metropolis during the LP’s 70+ minute runtime. "With JeGong we don't want to copy the Krautrock style,” reiterates Mäder. “We see our project more as a creative playground to celebrate the playful and experimental approach from earlier Krautrock using organic sounds and textures from analogue sounds to explore mood.” 

Created in the tail end of 2019, the LP was an exercise in social distancing with Reto Mäder recording all of the instrumentation at Hinterzimmer in Bern, Switzerland and Dahm Majuri Cipolla adding in the drums at BC Studio in NYC with Martin Bisi (Swans, Sonic Youth), where it was also partially mixed. With additional mixing and mastering taking place in Finland with Jaakko Viitalähde (Oranssi Pazuzu, Dark Buddha Rising), the wholly remote record presented a challenge in creating a collaborative effort while separated by half a world at every turn. “It was pretty interesting doing the tracks separated by many many miles between Switzerland and the U.S.,” recalls Cipolla. “For this particular collection of songs Reto would send me these ideas and I would come up with rhythmic patterns to fit. We wanted a combination of atmospheric sounds/progressions over rhythmic pulses and minimal, and sometimes repetitive, drumming.” And though the pair never shared a room, that also had it’s advantages as well. “You pay much more attention to sound as a common language,” explains Mäder. “Music takes on different forms according to the conditions in which it was recorded– whether that’s rooms, distance and time. We’re excited to also showcase another form of our songs– bringing them to the live stage." 

Consisting of 14 tracks, the debut effort from JeGong is emblematic of the adventurous spirit at the dawn of electronic music converging with the wide-eyed wonder toward experimentation found at the height of the psychedelic movement. Using processed guitars and heavily manipulated synths, Mäder creates vast atmospheric architecture in which Cipolla’s tasteful yet propulsive percussion adds a backbone and the unexpected twist. The combination pays homage to the greats of yesteryear while adding influence from artists ranging from Grouper to Sunn 0))) to Zombi. JEGONG not only tips its hat to the Krautrock era, but also reimagines the movement with new approaches and updated ideas. “To me, it’s about our mutual love for 70’s German music without being blatant about it,” comments Cipolla..”It’s a tribute but it’s done our way– honoring these heroes in the only way we can.”

Thanks for the recommendation, Jean. It's a pity they only made one album, as Liliental sounds like my kind of music and they're from the classic Krautrock era too, so I'll remember to include them in my second A-Z list. After all, I still have Lucifer's Friend still to look forward to in the first A-Z list. I've only ever heard their first album but that was donkeys' years ago. I remember it was a devil of a good album though. Smile

The Necromicon I have from 1972 Tips zum Selbstmord is not Thrash Metal.  That's a different Band referenced in Wikipedia.  The 1972 is a mix of Krautrock/Heavy Prog.

"Tips zum Selbstmord" means "Advice for Suicide". actually in the plural form in the original German, but in English "advice" does not have a plural. also mark that this album was made before the German orthography reform; after the reform took place "Tip" (for "hint, advice) is written "Tipp" (plural "Tipps") in German.

Friede and I actually don't follow the new orthography rules completely; it did in our opinion go too far. we are definitely not writing "Philosophie" like "Filosofie", as the orthography reform requires. we actually use the "ph" instead of an "f" for all German words with Greek origin. this even includes the word "Elefant", which stems from the Greek "ἐλέφᾱς" ("elephas") for "ivory", though the last time this word was spelled with a "ph" instead of an "f" was in the 19th century

Hi Jean,

I am still fluent in German, unfortunately through lack of writing it much over recent years my written grammar has become worse and worse as the years pass.  So I am absolutely certain that you have me beat on the Grammar :)  I used to have that problem in reverse when I first moved to England using f's instead of PH's at school until I finally figured it all out.  You know sch's and sh's etc etc

Last time I was in Germany was 3 years ago visiting family and friends in Osnabrueck.

I have about a dozen from your list... fan of early Agitation Free, have the first 3 studio on cd....never picked up Fragments.
I like Utopia...an Amon Duul off shoot , ... and Lucifers Friend, the first 3 or 4 being good ,but the second my favorite...Banquet the 4th by them might be their proggiest though the sound changed with horns and sax added. (Strangely about 2 months ago at a small antique shop near me I found 2  mint copies of the first Lucifers Friend LP...one gatefold and one not..both on the small US Billingsgate label. The lady practially gave them to me...$3 each....Smile)

Agitation Free have always been one of my favourite Krautrock bands, especially Live. There's also a 3-CD box set available, which I'd buy without agitation. Smile

That's the last of Agitation Free's albums added, apart from their 1st album, which is actually their last album, and their Last album, which is actually their fourth album, if that makes any sense at all. Wacko

Anyway, while we're in Between artists, here's an update on how the interactive A-Z is coming along. I've taken the liberty of adding Can myself because - in the words of Suzi Quatro - I couldn't possibly Can the Can from any self-respecting Krautrock list. Smile

A = Amon Duul II (added by Moshkito)
B = Brainticket (added by Verslibre)
C = Can
D = Dom

G = Guru Guru (added by BaldFriede)
H = Hanuman (added by Logan)
I = Ibliss (added by Tigerfeet)

K = Kraan (added by BaldJean)

Between: an international Krautrock band based in Munich with an intriguing blend of ethno-fusion that falls somewhere in Between ancient "serious music" and modern "popular music".

Kraan for "K". suggested album "Andy Nogger"

Hi,

I like the double live album ... far out stuff and trippy as heck!

To add to the supplemental list: (and I have almost a complete Popol Vuh and Jane. Early Scorpions, some Wallenstein and no Xhol Caravan)

Jane
Popol Vuh
Scorpions
Wallenstein
Xhol Caravan

NOTE:
While Agitation Free has grown into a "proper" band, I don't consider them as more valuable than AD2. AF was a project that started out being PAID by various means to do something which included Eastern influences. By comparison, AD2 came out of the instrumental musical circles on their original commune, to put together some music they considered better and more important than the mindlessness of the drum circle by stoned folks and nothing else. That could have been channeled into a much better idea of music, but it wasn't ... and the intention was NOT to create "music" ... mostly it was to have fun while doing it. AD2 immediately tore that idea apart with "Phallus Dei" since these circles were an excuse to get stoned and many women getting plundered. This would make PD and then Yeti and then Dance of the Lemmings (their comment on the early commune?) ... a lot more important as a creative endeavor than what AF ended up doing, which was good ... don't get me wrong and I have all the early stuff ... but was mostly a medley using Eastern motifs and ideas that would "exemplify" what the Eastern feeling was with modern Western instrumentation.

Mein Gott! Was ist das!?? This contemplative album of meditational music could have been so much better without the intrusive narration from the German guru, but at least the album above is the English version, so that's some small consolation. Ouch

Hi,

I know ... thx ... and it was written in jest, not with any meaning in mind.

The only thing that bothers me, is that I have heard almost all of those bands, and have some of the records for about 3/4'rs of them. I would wish to see more members be "aware" and "know" the bands, because it makes "krautrock" a much more impressive list all around. 

It is a "movement" that had its inception in many arts, and it developed like no other in music, not just rock, but it's not like film, theater and literature did not stand up either ... they both had a shine that defies any artistic scene in Europe in the 20th century!

No, I've never have been a member of the "anti-Mosh club". Your original reply was addressed to BaldJean/BaldFriede, so I didn't realise you were waiting for a reply from me too. Smile

There are some great suggestions in your list:- Jane; Wallenstein & Xhol Caravan are already included in the first A-Z Krautrock list at the top of Page 1, but I'll definitely add Popol Vuh (with your name attached)  to the second A-Z list on the previous page. Thumbs Up

I know, I was also jesting.  I completely agree.  There was a lot of good German Krautrock music which nowadays is almost completely forgotten other than the usual mentions.

I have a fair amount that I snatched up over the years, and whenever I find it I still grab it.

Everyone gets credited for any helpful artist additions to the Krautrock list, unless I've added them myself. Smile

I'm still listening to "B" for Between on the first list at the moment, but hopefully, I'll get around to listening to all of the Krautrock albums on the second A-Z list too, eventually. It may take me a while to listen to and feature all of Tangerine Dream's  albums though. Wink

Thanks! German Oak is a great addition for the "G"-slot, which has just become available when I realised I'd  included Guru Guru in both A-Z lists. Embarrassed 

Luckily, I've only heard the best of Krautrock so far, although there's still plenty of time left to hear the worst of Krautrock too. Smile

While I'm in Between albums, I just wanted to say thanks again to Spacious Mind for recommending Krokodil. I thought the recommendation was posted somewhere on this thread, but it was actually posted on the "10 Favourite Prog Albums of 1969" thread. Embarrassed

By the way, did you know that Krokodil is also the name of one of the most dangerous drugs in the world, giving the unfortunate user the appearance of a flesh-eating zombie. Dead

Lol... I have them as German/British ... in that order since they got established Germany.  Zone Six is not a great choice really since they are much later..but can't think of much else for Z at the moment.

How about the German band Zyma, mentioned in the title of my Prog Line blog? Wink

Then again, there's also the German bands Zarathustra, Zebulon or Zweistein, all from the classic Krautrock era. Thumbs Up

No Hugh listed on Gravedigger which I would nominate - 1972

I just listened and went off and bought Zarathustra - Zarathustra 1972  remastered CD.  They sound a lot like Uriah Heep!!  Thanks for showing them!!  Better choice than Zone Six IMO.

I'm glad you like them. I've replaced Zone Six in the list with Zarathustra. Every time I see that band name, it reminds me of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Smile

The most astonishing fact about the next Krautrock band, The Cosmic Jokers, is discovering their five spacey albums were all released in the same year of 1974. Apparently, the albums were all recorded together in one incredibly long jam session, lasting from February thru' till May 1973. The temporary band band line-up featured such notable musicians as Klaus Schulze and Manuel Gottsching of Ash Ra Tempel fame. Legend has it that the musicians were offered drugs in exchange for recording tracks for the five albums, which is very much reflected in the spacey, psychedelic freak out music contained within.  Enjoy! Thumbs Up
