Yes, all hail Tago Mago indeed
Can't forgot Amon Duul II and their greats Nor Faust, one of the giants of the genre Here's Sand, who I found through the Fast 'N' Bulbous Album Club And what the hell, let's throw Neu! in the mix, shall we? And Kraftwerk, even though they're not my favourite of the genre And I'm putting Can twice because you can't leave out Ege Bamyasi in a Krautrock thread

Instead of pushing through the usual bands that those of us in the know are into how about a band obviously influenced by Krautrock but have upped the pace a little? I have posted this before and I will do again because they were such a great band:
Krautrock meets Mathrock?

Great Choice jackhammer! That band IS very good & vey Kraut like.
I will offer up a similar band that I enjoy: A live performance. And a studio track. And a bit jazzy for normal kraut, but this band is great too: Last edited by cledussnow; 06-13-2012 at 11:04 AM. |

I'm really getting into Agitation Free - one of the original Krautrock bands that aren't so well known. The reformed band was due to play in Manchester a few weeks ago but the gig was postponed until later in the year (mainly due to lack of ticket sales), so I hope it will eventually go ahead....

Been digging La Dusseldorf's music lately... They were formed by Klaus Dinger of NEU! and focused on that fluid ambient style presented in NEU!'s music, but... added more pop-driven sensibilities into the mix. Really good stuff:
Then there's Cluster whose albums wander in and out of ambient and noise from time to time. Veritably dense and layered music... almost industrial in a way. Of course, I've been on a huge NEU! kick. So I feel I should mention them as well... They often presented this kind of pastoral (as Iggy Pop puts it) and almost freeform psychedelia that was then juxtaposed by these steady, mechanical drum beats. Despite the contrast of the two, it works surprising well and forms a type of music that was not yet heard of at the time. Unfortunately, the contrasting personalities of the two members of the band caused it to end rather prematurely... |
