Please break down Krautrock for me.

I've yet to hear a complete album from any of those bands mentioned just above.

I'd agree that Tago Mago is a good album to start with, Chula; it has the feel of a studio jam, which I imagine you'd enjoy. After that, here's a collection of MB threads I put together once:-

Krautrock is also a genre that people can`t quite decide on, and threads turn up in the avant-garde / metal and prog sections of MB, though the majority of thread starters have chosen this Prog Rock sub-forum for their threads. Anyway, I thought an index might clarify things for Krautrock fans - all they have to do now is find this post, haha.

Krautrock threads:-
http://www.musicbanter.com/avant-gar...utrock-11.html - extensive thread started in 2008
http://www.musicbanter.com/rock-meta...rock-week.html -this worthy thread very quickly became Krautrock For Advanced Students and focuses on the obscure fringes of Krautrock.
http://www.musicbanter.com/avant-gar...-top-10-a.html - good if you want lists of bands; short on analysis
http://www.musicbanter.com/prog-psyc...krautrock.html - a short thread exploring modern bands that aren`t German. Is that still Krautrock?

For a while I lived in a town 30 miles from London, and the countryside around the town was popular with rock stars who were buying their first mansion. I was friendly with a guy whose friend lived right near Paul Rodgers' house. This friend-of-a-friend used to feed PR's dogs when he was on tour and one night I was right there, sitting in a car outside PR's house while the guy went in to feed the dogs! Mega-cred for me, amirite?

Hey Chula, my two cents here is that you might really dig the album Deluxe by Harmonia:

rostasi · 09-23-2018, 10:15 AM

The title track from that album gets so much play around here,
that I get worried that my wife will some day permanently strap
some headphones on me with this song playing and set me outside
the house like a porch goose.

Porch goose?

Oriphiel · 09-23-2018, 10:57 AM

Is there some sort of intentional meter to Rostasi's posts?

'Cause if so, ****, that's some dedicated foruming. Makes me wanna post only in iambic pentameter.
