Yeah, it seems to have completely gone unnoticed since then, but if you like gigantic slabs of psychedelic jamming you should enjoy it.

^ Funny it's the only Electric Orange I listened to. My friend lent it to me since he's into that psych stuff. I see this band is listed under Krautrock but this one is much more psychedelic, ambienty than anything, it's quite easy not something that hits you on the head, 4 long songs around 20 min. Can't say I'm a big fan of that kind of stuff, I'm the kinda guy always waiting for something to happen and the music here is more of going in the same road. So this would appeal to fans of long psychedelic easy jams. Going through the whole album again would be difficult for me.
Sorry if I sounded negative I'm sure a lot of people would like it more than me.  |

Like previously with Cornucopia, this obscurity too is situated in the fusion alley here on PA, and while it is decisively more jazzy in scope, I still hear a lot of Krautrock in Dennis' sole album Hyperthalamus:
Hooray for vinyl

Sounds to me like you're in need of some Exmagma  |

^ Good reminder, I have both their albums. Quite an obscure jam, a lot of influences, very good experimental fusion I'd say. That Goldball cover always cracked me up, they must be standing on something right? if not than they are the real Gentle Giants
 .Oh and that Dennis 20 minutes track was superb, you are full of surprises my friend. Loved that atmosphere and every bit of that saxophone. Oh and that synth on the 15 minute mark! can't get enough of that stuff. Damn that sh*ty quality though! |

I love those two Exmagma albums as well. Something like a Zappa album on acid and yeah, they must surely be standing on some kind of stilts!I'm glad you liked that Dennis track - I too would like to hear it cleaned up - though not entirely. I hate when music gets sterile, like it was recorded in a freakin vacuum.

^ I'm sure the vinyl sounds good, it's the utube quality that bothers me.

 Don't know why, but I've always felt a light influence of Kraut in the "post punk" first album of Marquis de Sade.(1979) You tell me. |

I stopped by a "Progressive Rock" discussion group on another forum, and I started talking about Krautrock and all those guys turned their noses up at me, like I was talking about punk or something. Apparently Krautrock is not universally loved by prog fans. I'm glad it's still valued at PA.

If Krautrock wasn't appreciated here, about half the genres I like wouldn't be appreciated here. If there was a forum mainly focused on Krautrock and RIO/Avant, that'd be the place to be.  |

YAY! Another one gets lured into the freaky waters of Krautrock. By this rate, we'll be some 45 fans in a jiffy! Big welcome to the madness mister Mosis - ask us anything, and I promise you we'll do our very best to confuse you
