Damn, this stuff is so cool. I have some Neu!, kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream CD's that I like a lot. I am looking for some more CD's in this vein that would be worth checking out. I know there's some people here who listen to this stuff, what are your fav CD's in this genre?

 

[Demetrio]

Sure, these are some other Krautrock bands you might enjoy as well: ASHRA (a.k.a. ASHRA TEMPEL), ELECTRIC ORANGE, CAN and AMON DÜÜL II.

This should keep you busy for a while with new groups to check out:

I have a couple Kraftwerk Cds, but don't get into the longer more progressive electronic works

Can's Tago Mago is a must have, mainly for the spacey 20 minute free jam 'Halleluwah'. Just plain cool, man.

I would listen to Demetrio before I listen to to AMG. However, if I didn't have anything else to go on, I might possibly check to see what AMG have to say.

You need to add Klaus Schulze to your list of must-listens. Dig It is a pretty good album to start with. X is my personal favourite. Mirage is delicate, if you want to try something softer. Body Love, Volume 2 is another classic.

Unfortunately, I'm not that familiar with "true" Krautrock -- Can, Neu!, etc. So wouldn't know what else to recommend you, but from what you listed, I would definitely add at least one Klaus Schulze title to your collection.

(English language can be coosen)

The list on that server is not complete.

To mention some others:

'Ihre Kinder', 'Abacus'

'Neu' has released two new record 'Neu and Neu 2'. Really good stuff for fans.

Cans 'Tago Mago and Canibalism' is a must have!

Have fun

Cheers

Wow, lots of stuff for me to explore. I didn't realise there was so much of this out there. I will try to find CD's by those bands you mentioned.
Dusty, I got "Dig It" from the library but I didn't really enjoy it. However "X" is awesome! thanks for the tips.

It would be so cool to be a hipster in the 70's, too bad I was born 20 years to late for that.

Unholy crap, you have a library that stocks Klaus Schulze? That is one coolass library...I need to move there...(looks to see where you live)...oh, well, that figures...I don't want to move out of the US...

Yep, they have a lot there. You wouldn't believe what obscure stuff I found in their collection..
I personally would move to a lot of places but never to the US.

I gotta get me outta Chicago!!
I'm ready to go to the continent-I need a change, actually the US does have some cool places too!
Maybe I could follow some bands around for a while and then call up my wife when I find a place to land.
