Depends if Krautrock means any German band, or the ones lumped into that "movement." Of the latter, I'd pick Can. If the former, maybe the Notwist. | ||

Kraftwerk. But are they really Krautrock? | ||

padraig, kraftwerk were krautrock surely at their beginning. later as they made their masterpiece 'trans europa express' i think you can'tcount it to that movement anymore. i am too young to say that i was around at the first time when krautrock started, but in the midst of the seventies nearly all the bands were active and as i was interested in pop/rock music i discovered those bands fast (not all). tangerine dream, klaus schulze, can, neu, la düsseldorf, cluster, michael rother, amon düül, kraftwerk, jane , eloy, ramses, guru guru were on my playlists. faust, popol vuh, witthüser & westrupp and ash ra tempel i discovered later. not all of the works of the a.m. bands are great. and surely you can say that a lot of that music is overrated, too. in retrospect i have to say that neu, cluster + harmonia are my favourite bands of that krautrock thing. favourite albums are: amon düül - phallus dei popol vuh- einsjäger und siebenjäger cluster - zuckerzeit and sowieso neu - neu! tangerine dream - electronic meditation la düsseldorf - first ash ra tempel -first can - monster novie harmonia - musik von harmonia and deluxe | ||

I've got only the music of 'Aguirre' (Popol Vuh) which is perfect for the film. But Krautmusic is boring music no ? | ||

I was listening to Kraftwerk while travelling on the Deutche Bahn trains in Germany a few weeks ago and it sounded incredible; like listening to The Triffids while travelling round Australia or The Bats in New Zealand. |
