Hi guys, well i'm a krautrock lover specially Ash Ra Tempel, that's why i am here, looking for something similar to that band.

I have the whole discography of Ash Ra Tempel, Ashra, The Cosmic Jokers, Walter Wegmüller, Sergius Golowin, Yatha Sidhra, Manuel Göttsching, Klaus Schulze (some albums) and Tangerine Dream (some albums too) so i'm looking for something new.
Any recomendations?

Thanks.

You might have heard some of these, but we will give it a try anyway. Two of these are newer bands which are not strickly Kraut, but should be enjoyed by like minded people.

- Cozmic Corridor (I think you have heard of this one from memory)
- Discolor
- Ausgang
- Code III (just brought this, great stuff)
- Moolah (their Woe Ye Demons Possessed is a classic)

Check out Algarnas Tradgard. Their album, "Framtiden är ett svävande skepp, förankrat i forntiden", sounds like the song Traummachine from Ash Ra Temple but with some acoustic instruments played and a very nice and trippy guitar (if I remember correctly).

Try Achim Reichel "Die Güne Reise (The Green Journey)". As far as I know he is not in the archives yet. And do you have solo albums of Edgar Froese? I highly recommend "Epsilon in Malaysian Pale". You will also like Popol Vuh, start with "Affenstunde" or "In den Gärten Pharaos".
You may also like "Journies out of the Body" by Steve Joliffe (member of Tangerine Dream for one album and one tour).
Annexus Quam is another recommendation; "Osmose" is a little bit easier to get into than "Beziehungen". And how about Agitation Free? Try "Malesch" by them.
Eberhard Schoener (still not in the archives, ahem) is also recommended, especially "Meditation" and "Bali Agung".
And maybe you will also like Between. Start with "Einstieg" or "Dharana".
Perhaps the first album of Guru Guru, "UFO", would also be something for you. The archive features one track of that album; look it up.
That's just for starters.

Hey anael, you seem to be particularly interested in the 'kosmiche' side of Kraut........

you'll def like Achim Reichel & Machines though that stuff is pretty tough to find nowadays.  its quite seriously whacked....

Popul Vuh's first 2 albums (as also mentioned above) are pretty good too.   May i also suggest the Aguirre album from 1976, really lovely spacey yet pastoral guitars/synths..........
 
For more 'modern' stuff that could meet your needs, I would (aiiieeee!!!!) very strongly recommed Supersilent's 6 album.  Beautifully melodic and glacial in feel.  In fact quite a few bits actually remind me of Popul Vuh's soundtrack works for Werner Herzog films......

Not a 1:1 match, but Swedish THE SPACIOUS MINDS play lots of instrumental and improvised vintage psych rock jamming on their records.

Brainticket. Three first abums are brilliant.

Cluster II. I prefer Zuckerzeit, but its shorter, more catchy tracks. Same with Harmonia's debut.

Do you have Tangerine Dream the OHR years (70-73)?

And what Klaus Schulze albums?

Maybe Amon Düül II - Tanz der Lemminge
Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

just realised the great fusionjazzer Terje Rypdal is another artist u might wanna check out esp u are a fan of Manuel Göttsching's guitar-style.

have a listen to:
 
his first s/t album (1971) - someone described it as ART meets electric Miles
Odyssey (1975) - more ambient, closer to early Ashra
 
 
TRIP!!!!!

I recommend
Dom (Germany/Poland/Hungary) - Edge of time (1970)

For the occasional moments of transcendence...

For a contemporary approach: Supersilent - 6, as mentioned by superprog.
