The Krautrock Space

Was just listening to some old Chrome today and it reminded me of what it might sound like if early Can and Hawkwind got together to make a punk album.  Note how the song totally changes into something else after the 1:40 mark.

Found this song in the Progarchives Krautrock page today.

My Lost Tapes boxset finally got here today...had to wait for the other album I ordered to be ready to ship as well.  Going to start listening to it in just a bit!

^ Fantastic dark infernal psychedelia! 

I'm getting my "Fix" right now and digging it!

CAN, My Lostapes : first conclusions : Good and less good. I like Millionenspiel, Your firendly .., Pigeon Suite, A swan is born, the loop, Midnight men, Messer .. and Alice. Some new sounds and ideas in these ones, even for the eclectic Can.

Originally posted by Guldbamsen Reviving this thread a bit. Anybody out there fans of the original Amon Düül? I've ordered a couple of their albums and am eagerly awaiting for their arrival

I wrote an Amon Duul (all the diff variations) feature for Expose' back in the 90s, and the editor sent me all the albums I didn't already have.... on cassette (this was before CDRs).  My cassette deck recently broke, but I managed to transfer some of them to CD before it broke, and I managed to buy some on CD, and some I still only have on cassette.  I honestly find it hard to tell a lot of the early Amon Duul things apart, but when I'm in the mood to hear them, it doesn't really matter anyway -- it's just a long cool lo-fi acid jam.  Paradieswarts Duul is the only one that really stands out as different, being more acoustic and more thought-out.  I think "Sandoz in the Rain" from ADII's "Yeti" album was recorded in a similar fashion (as kind of an Amon Duul "reunion" song).

^ Along "Paradieswärts Düül" I liked their "Collapsing / Singvögel Rückwärts & co" album, which I would recommend. 

Paradieswarts Duul is great
