Oh, and this album is gorgeous. For those frustrated by the blanket anglo designation of "krautrock," the Germans refer to this particular brand as Kosmische Musik ("Cosmic Music"). The only rock music known to have influenced it was Pink Floyd, but even that was only a small part of the story. Anyway, this is one of the best early examples of Kosmische Musik, along with the work of Tangerine Dream, Popol Vuh, and Cluster.

One of the best albums designated as "krautrock" bullshit term. Creative song structures (be they jamming or droning) mixed with undeniable technical ability. Amazing hypnotic keyboard work from Klaus Schulze. Equally awesome work from Göttsching. blah blah This album is great etc
