This is the third and final part of my "Non" polls, because there is no band or artist playing RPI outside Italy.
It's interesting, how many Krautrock bands are playing outside Germany, the cradle of this Prog Subgenre. So, I have divided this poll into two parts. ------------- A Elbereth Gilthoniel silivren penna míriel o menel aglar elenath!

PA reports the legend of Italians living in Germany. They are from Osaka and a Japanese label should have reprinted the album on CD around 2008. I'll post in the error and omission thread. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

the British Amon Düül made some good albums, especially "Hawk Meets Penguin"

I know that you're using PA's categorisation as your guide for the purposes of the poll, and I like PA's placement for these (even if I would prefer album multi tagging), but I don't treat PA categorisation as the Prog bible. The categories are a handy guide, and useful for making such polls though one needn't agree with the best-fit category placement, but I digress. Heldon is Krautrock related -- one of my favourite bands too. I wouldn't consider changing the category, but being familiar with the music and Krautrock, I can understand Neu!mann's thinking. From the last paragraph by Elecgtronic Prog/ Krautrock guru Philippe: http://www.progarchives.com/Krautrock-introduction.asp" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/Krautrock-introduction.asp
Anyway, I'm voting for Lard Free. By the way, here's the beginning of PA's Lard Free bio by Hugues:

If you like Amon Düül 2 then you should certainly like Amon Düül (UK), especially "Hawk Meets Penguin" and to a certain extent also "Fool Moon". I actually like "Die Lösung" featuring the late Robert Calvert of Hawkwind too. But "Meeting with Men-Machines" is rather weak; it only has one good track, "Brundi Drummer's Nightmare". That track is really exceptional though, here a link: Don't confuse Amon Düül (UK) with the German Amon Düül, by the way. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

Thanks for the suggestion. Effectively I know only one Amoun Duul album. To me it sounded just like a bunch of trippy hippies playing what was passing by their minds. A funny session (for them) that shouldn't be recorded. But it's possible that I have missed something or that they have done something better. Only I haven't tried anything else of them. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |
