greyfriar Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I like Rammstein. :)Haha, sorry then, wrong thread. Not everything coming from Deutschland is necessarily Krautrock. The genre was established in the late 60's and had a fair run, for over a decade (even if there are some good retro acts these days). It's more about psychedelic folk rock, mixed with a lot of other weird variations.e.g. the German answer to the Faith Healer. :haz: :smoke: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4h0AP_OnsYI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyfriar Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) Here's another great example for the weirdness in Krautrock. Lucifer's Friend was a band that had a great run in the first half of the seventies, and they even smelled a bit of success in the US. Cleveland radio station WMMS (story sounds familiar) pushed their debut in 1970 to the second best-selling album (directly behind Pink Floyd), in the city. Their style was compared to bands like Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Uriah Heep and quite often they were termed as vanguards of heavy metal. :haz:LF is an interesting combination of German musicians, paired with their English frontman, John Lawton. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5DpOdf-_yM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATxZ156XY64 Edited April 18, 2017 by greyfriar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyfriar Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I just can't help myself, other than post this fantastic Nektar show. Roye Albrighton is maybe the most overlooked guitarist I know of. He was fukkin' brilliant (R.I.P. Roye). I was fortunate enough to see the band in that great 2005 line-up. Often mislabeled as Krautrock, Nektar were actually a British band. They were classified as Krautrock, since the band members all lived in Germany, for a couple of years, back in the seventies. The band produced a huge amount of their music there and they hired a German guy to stage-manage their light show. Guess that was enough back then, to call them Krauts. Nektar WDR Rockpalast 2005. Play loud and enjoy... :smoke: :hail:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=em2T3uIZRwk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyfriar Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I don't let that thread die without fighting! :madra: Thanks go out to goobs. Not exactly Krautrock, but the new album from Samsara Blues Experiment is a monster of German heavy-psych-blues-rock and more! The album (One With The Universe) can't be labeled just with one genre. It's full of 70's influences, including doomy, stoner elements and atmospheric prog... Just brilliant!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FR1whP2G06s 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listened to the Eloy and then a whole buncha bullsh1t came up.Really good drumming on Eloy btw. Kinda Peart-y.Nektar was all over the place! At first sort of hippy, Moody Blues-y, and then things got a little more King Crimson. You listen to some freaky stuff, young man! :ebert: Although it's not Krautrock, Nektar reminded me at times of this: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good, quirky stuff!Yeah, brilliant choice for dark days. They're not necessarily summer music and "quirky" might be a good adjective to describe them. Well, I think the whole genre, is overall, a wee bit quirky, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaportrailer Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 This is my go to Krautrock track. Great to immerse yourself in for a while. Particularly when staring down from a window on a plane flight.... Bowie apparently loved this track so much, he used its drum part for this sweet bit of musical business: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6uvYuEyUY4 (Adrian Belew plays some magnificently tortured guitar on this.)

vaportrailer Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) Good driving music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dcq9WcMzoZo Also good waiting music. Jaki Liebezeit is a terrific drummer. He's almost unhinged near the end of this one. Edited July 9, 2017 by vaportrailer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
