here is an interview from 1997 where Holgar Czukay (Can) unequivocally cited The Velvet Underground as the main influence: http://www.krautrock.com/articles/int_czukay.html

^ A certain member appears in almost all these threads who is very much in favour of them so I'm waiting for him to come here as well. Wink

BTW, I just listened to the album linked above. But I'm waiting for three others by them that I oredered recently so I'll give my opinion later. Big smile

There were many suggestion threads about them that opened with more and better information (including the possible influence on  krautrock mentioned here) so this one won't change anyone's opinion any time soon. Discussions about Velvet Underground that don't concern their inclusion to the site can be continued somewhere else on the forum.
