I have always listened to some psychadelia Piper at The Gates of Dawn and Sgt. Peppers... are 2 of my favourite albums of the 60s and also listened to occasional Gong on the side but rarely Then i recently saw Hawkwind who i always enjoyed but never really got into but that night i finally had the space rock epiphany moment and now Gong and Hawkwind are high in my pile of albums near the CD player. Also really enjoying the first Magma album again. So what Space Rock are you listening to at the moment? -------------

 I am presently listening to a German band called WELTRAUM. I downloaded three of their albums from Amazon. They are all over 70 minutes long and it´s non stop space rock. The albums are titled, Magnolia, Feuer and Sweet Valentine. Little money well spent.
I am a Gong and Hawkwind fan but love the Ozric Tentacles and Porcupine Tree too.
Check out WELTRAUM.

a lot of early Krautrock is very spacey - the first few albums of Amon Düül 2, Ash Ra Tempel's "Schwingungen" and "Join Inn", Popol Vuh's "In den Gärten Pharaoh''s" and "Affenstunde", the first two albums of the Cosmic Jokers, Achim Reichel's "Die grüne Reise", even Can have their spacey moments. Clearlight's guitar player Christian Boulé made 2 solo albums, "Photo Musik" and "Non-Fiction"; both are space rock, but with elements of jazz-rock, funk and even rock 'n' roll. Clearlight themselves are quite spacey too -------------  A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival. Ceterum censeo principiis obsta |
