Seriously though, I'd probably rate it 3.5-4 depending on how much I wish to infuse originality and pioneering skills into my verdict. First and foremost: It's a fun album.

Fair enough.

I'd like to find some nice new Krautrock to listen to. Any recs? Not to keen on the jammier, more clearly psych-rock styles of the sub, but something freer and more eclectic - Battiato-esque, preferably, but that continues to be a tall order Unhappy

.

I'll marinade in that Linus. Promise to get back to ya Smile

Appreciate it Thumbs Up

Here are some recs Linus, but just remember that most Krautrock tends to be psychedelic in one way or another Smile

Perhaps try some French music that'll have your granny climbing the walls LOL

There's something of a Battiato vibe to this band, albeit in a more convoluted manner(that's not necessarily a bad thing though): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obQp7Zrpk4Y

You could try out some slightly Canterbury flavoured Krautrock with Nosferatu. I particularly dig this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7Xb1ad4qEs

What about Brainticket? This is one of my fave Krautrock songs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFO_WNBl7G0

Have you ever tried NEU!? Their 75 album is a pretty diverse thing with nods to punk, post-punk and Bowie(or is that the other way round?): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYeVvp8sdmg

In keeping with the post-punk thang, then it's almost impossible to get around L.A. Düsseldorf(be warned though, this is highly simple music, but there's so much more happening when you first get into the thing): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID4LcHzb4jA

For a more "structured" album that hits on every cylinder, you may want to check out Amon Düül ll's masterpiece Wolf City. It's psychedelic, but also highly eclectic. Just have a listen to this LOL

Hmmm have you investigated your fellow countrymen Älgarnas Trädgård yet? Both of their albums are highly recommendable imho. Sure there's some psych in there, but we're talking Krautrock eh - but still you get far more on your plate than the obvious jam band thang - such as avant, folk and some fusion.

Try this one on for size: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2pfB8qkdSA

Wow that turned out way more elaborate than what I'd planned LOL

I have heard some of these on at least a few occasions in the past. But I'll try again, add the new bands to the list, digest for a while...and get back to you! Thanks.

Blargh

CREAM - "Those Were the Days" 4 disc set featuring everything recorded from 1966-1968. Hard to believe they were only together a couple of years. Discs 1 and 2 are all the studio stuff, discs 3 and 4 all the live stuff. It's a good way to listen to it.
