Inspired by Fighting Sleep's thread "Best of Prog ", here's my tracklist for The Best Krautrock Album In the World... Ever! What do you think should be on it? My definition of
Krautrock includes some stuff that's classed as Progressive Electronic, as that’s
where bands like Tangerine Dream and Ash Ra headed later in their careers. ------------- "The disgusting stink of a too-loud electric guitar.... Now, that's my idea of a good time." |

We don't need to assemble the greatest Kraut album of all time--Can already did. It's called Tago Mago.

For the most part, I like my Krautrock to be as though it's normal rock that's turned completely inside-out, spat on, beaten within inches of its life with a 2 by 4, and then revived by some sort of German voodoo. A nice maraschino cherry on top doesnt hurt.
Anyways, my favorite Kraut band is Amon Düül II, and anything between and including Phallus Dei to Wolf City is pretty much perfect. But Can is amazing and NEU! has produced some of the finest music I have yet to hear, so it's difficult for me to choose specific tracks from any artist. So I guess my list would probably end up looking something like yours. |

That's the best definition of Krautrock I've ever heard!  ------------- "The disgusting stink of a too-loud electric guitar.... Now, that's my idea of a good time." |
