I'd like to suggest the band Verde for krautrock genre.

Verde is a one-man band (with various guest musicians) of Mika Rintala who has been a member of Circle.

In my opinion, Verde's music meets several krautrock characteristics such as "special emphasis to electronic treatments, sound manipulation and minimal hypnotic motifs (...) and minimalist repetitive music" and "emphasis on extended and ecstatic instrumental epics, neglecting the format of conventional psych-pop songs." (Philippe Blache on his Krautrock definition)

Thanks  for the suggestion. It appears to be an interesting hybridation of styles with reference to krauty-motoric stuffs (Neu! Can...) elements of jazz, weird acoustic folk and outer space drones. I don't like much their inflected humour approach but it can be a welcoming addition to the  subgenre next to neo-kraut bands such as Metabolismus, Silvester Anfang (...)

If you want to write something (biography) feel free to do it.
You can process as soon as you want for the addition.

thanks again

Brilliant, thank you!!

I'll be happy to write a biography. Won't have time for that until next week though.
