There you have it, last one, thanks for all the comments on such strange music. I still remember blasting The Future Kings Of England while doing yard work years ago and being asked what kind of drugs I was on to listen to that. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

The totally un-rockin beauty of And The Waters Opened for me (stay clear of the 2005 CD-version btw). |

I can vote for Agitation Free here, but same comment applies that I had made in the other poll.  |

Electric Sandwich- s/t There's one I know and like.  ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

I think I like this one more than Morbus but yes all three are great. Love the picture of the band sitting on a sidewalk somewhere in Germany. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Glad to see this one getting some votes. American Robert Eliscu is by far the best oboe player I've ever heard. He's on some Popol Vuh albums too, in fact the one song on here sounds just like Popol Vuh, "Devotion" I believe. There's been seven different releases or editions of this one, so what's wrong with the 2005 one? ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

I'm with you on Agitation Free probably a top three Krautrock band for me, right up there anyways. And this one surprised me. The band did a series of shows over there with the occasion being Michael Hoenig being represented in a wax museum. Guitarist Lutz Ulbrich had already been added years before. I guess they have a Prog Rock section at the Tokyo Tower Wax Museum. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

This is one of my Krautrock loving brother in law's favourites. CAN is his band but he's gone on about Electric Sandwich to me before. Love that opener "China". ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Almost a sweep of all three polls for Electric Orange, but Shibuya Nights is a great live album.....the heart of the band still together after 35 years and really hitting it hard. ------------- I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there..... |

A couple of late votes for Agitation Free puts them out in front. Of the albums on these three polls that have no votes Cornucopia's Full Horn is the most disappointing but it's mainly because it's a hard one to get. Guldbamsen helped me there and this is one crazy record. And you would swear on that second track that Kevin Ayers was singing one his own songs. The opening side long suite is all over the place. Very Krautrock, very out there. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

I have this issue^ which was why I was curious why you didn't like it but suspected it was the bonus tracks. I completely agree and it's actually misleading starting the album off with a bonus track in my opinion. Glad it wasn't sound quality even if I felt mine sounded good. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

I'll vote for Between, which is indeed beautiful. It fits nicely between the slices of bread in an electric orange sandwich (as a couple more albums I know and like in the poll). Annexus Quam and Future Kings I have also liked. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me. |
