If we're doing cosmiche we shouldn't go any further without acknowledging the masters. I never get tired of Neu!, that combination of straight ahead rhythms and guitars being fed through some lovely FX pedals for up to ten minutes. It's funny - all those bands active in West Germany from the late 60s onwards, produced by the same combination of geography, socio-political events, youth culture and US and British rock 'n' roll, get lumped together and don't really sound anything like each other. Neu!, Can and Faust sound very different from each other, which can make first delvings into the genre very confusing.

Confusing, but rewarding. Tremendous selection today Adam.
One of the biggies today, Adam.
Funny after yesterday's post I played some Neu! to get some more of that Motorik/Apache beat. And I agree, Can and Faust are proto Krautrock. Kraftwerk, Neu!, and Cluster were Krautrock.
Factoid: Michael Rother lived in Wilmslow when he was a kid, briefly. I heard that on a bbc krautrock doc. Meany
I heard that too about Rotherham in Wilmslow. Very unlikely somehow.
Echorich- and La Dusseldorf.

Unlikely as in strange.

Ha!Bloody phone auto correct. Rother Rotherham.

Absolutely SA. La Dusseldorf is when Rother really got to do things his way.
