Yeah definitely. I luv Neu! Anyone read that Kraut book by Julian Cope? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I haven't read the Julien Cope book, but i heard an interview with Thom Yorke [and i usually trust his opinion] saying that when you read it, you feel really inspired to go out and listen to these bands, but some of them are a bit disapointing.. like i heard Amon Duul II, and there not that great. Im a fan of Tangerine Dreams 'Zeit' though.. |

Well I like Phaedra a lot but I would say Tangerine Dream beyond 74 were shits. Stay clear of TG beyond Rubicon everything else is worth a shot. Phaedra has a very unique analogue sound. I think TG went a bit cheezo beyond a certain point. Can, Neu! and La Dusseldorf (spun out of Neu!) basically did good quality grooves and were never really cheesy. |

Yeah Amon Duul II, shit completely forgot about them. I tell you at one time my sister and I were completely obsessed with Krautrock. We were going out and hunting down all the old vinyl. My sister has about 3 Amon Duul II records. I remember one of them being pretty ok but the others were a bit spooky wooky with sort of sounds with lots of reverb. I mean they're okay but you know they're a bit deranged a bit too hippy zippy. |

I think for shear quality I'd rate Neu! as number 1. I think the Kraut battle was tightly fought between Neu!, Can and Kraftwerk. I think old Kraftwerk came out top, with Can second and Neu! third. Anyone ever been to Kosmische in London? |

what about Popol Vuh? Although i sort of lost my patience with 'In Den Gärten Pharaos', i DO think they have done some excellent film scores..for Werner Herzog in particular |

I would say that Venetians Snares has actually brought a bit of the Kraut and Kosmische feel to his music which is a good thing. |

Never heard Popol Vuh, must say that was one group I never managed to hear. |

Neu! and The Residents(though technically not 'krautrock') are my favorites.. I plan on picking up the ! reissues soon. Has anyone ever heard Volcano the Bear? Their album 'The Inhazer Decline' is full of brain-bubbling goodness.. Currently signed to Steven Stapleton's United Dairies label - recommended. |

|

i don't know really how joy division compares to can. |
||||||||

JD's drummer steve morris is definetly influenced by Can's Jaki Lebeiteit and the drumming in Neu! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
can and faust are good but I havent heard any neu! anyone heard faust's newest stuff? theyre doing an album with dalek in the future--should be interesting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wait, so is all the early tangerine dream good, whats the last good album, someone said a specific album but I didnt quite understand if they meant it was theyre last good one or the first bad one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

exit and white eagle are both goof eary tangerine dream, the other (phaeadra?) is good too, there the only ones i know for a fact i've heard, my best friends got about 15 tangerine dream records, but over half are pretty poor imo |
||||||||

||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

||||||||
|
|

OPHECKS!!!!!! i just heard the awesomest thing ever!!!!!! i was checking out a deutsch-rock list on amazon, and through my searching unheard-of names i stumbled across a band called HENRY COW. DUDE: CHECK THIS STUFF OUT!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ophecks, you're right. it's simple: without can no la neu! without la neu! no kraftwerk without kraftwerj no techno without techno no ... imagine that .... (:a |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
now we're representin'!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I really like some tracks on Tago Mago, Ege Bamyasi and Future Days...but personally I find Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk and Neu more accessible. Can and Faust were like bleeding edge then...and have stayed that way since... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
tangerine dream has too many cheesy albums, exit and white eagle are poor. ill have to check out phaedra then. |
