I've listened to a lot of Tanz Der Lemminge by Amon Duul II as well. And Agitation Free's Malesch is a hit. And Ege Bamyasi by Can was a pleasant surprise, but one that'll need more time to sink in.

Want to hear MORE. Definitely with you on this! 

Y'know, that very much works as a way to introduce your brain to unfamiliar music! LOL  You'll find it surfacing in your conscious mind eventually... Wacko

I ended up downloading the album off eMusic as soon as I got home from class.

Haha, I'm there already... I've got the DVD queued in my movie rental list! Approve LOL  Not heard the album yet, but I grabbed it earlier, so it's only a matter of time...

Wow.  Just... wow.  I'm officially stunned! Shocked Big smile

Popol Vuh came up as a suggestion for me on emusic.com the other day.  Since then I've been practically glued to my ipod, obsessively listening to them! Tongue

The early electronic albums are fantastic.  I especially love Vuh from In den Gärten Pharaos. Clap

But I'm liking the other, more acoustic, aethereal-sounding, dewy, spiritually-inclined stuff just as much.  Hosianna Mantra is just gorgeous!

One way or another, I have a LOT of listening to do...

(I haven't a clue when it comes to Krautrock, so I wonder what else is out there, waiting for me to fall in love with it! LOL  Someone needs to make a 'Krautrock drop-in' thread for the purpose of indoctrinating the unwary! Wink)
