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.

ophecks, you're right. it's simple:

without kraftwerj no techno
without techno no ...

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...

eagle are poor. ill have to check out phaedra then.
