Lamb Lies Down Influenced by Krautrock?

Is it just me or is some elements of the Lamb lies Down have elements of Krautrock in it, It could be more Stockhausen and the Beatles White Album. But take for example The Waiting Room, it sounds more like something Can or Neu! would produce. In the song Back to NYC and even Anyway to a degree I could imagine Damo Suzucki singing those tracks, perhaps all these bands were influenced by John Lennon and I'm merely seeing his influence on these groups/ albums. Perhaps tracks such as the Waiting room, part 1 of Colony of Slippermen and Ravine are more Avant garde influenced such as King Crimson. Anyway I would like to hear peoples views on this whether they share the same opinion or not. But anyway if you are familiar with Neu! IMHO some of their songs have a similar vibe to the Lamb.

They might not have been direct influences, but there's always cross-fertilisation of musical styles, especially with musicans who are open to fresh ideas. It wasn't just a one-way thing.

I can't say I've ever noticed any discernible Krautrock influence on The Lamb, but Brian Eno was involved in the production (apparently he was responsible for the treatments to Gabriel's voice on Grand Parade and Slippermen) and he was definitely into Krautrock, so perhaps he got them listening to Can, Neu! and Faust.
