Intro to Krautrock

[Lachapelle]

Hey guys, just getting into Krautrock and I'm digging what I've heard so far.

I'd love some album suggestions. I've started with Neu! and Can.

Try to recommend some albums that I won't find with a simple 'Best of Krautrock' google search..

Thanks!

this one is nice, not rly a drum one so it's a bit mellow but it's worth your attention


Meiguiweisheng Xiang by Workshop

this one is from the 90s but it should not be missed

oh and some american krautrock too why not


Woe, Ye Demons Possessed by Moolah

but definitely hit up the bigger stuff too. and I guess ash ra tempel doesn't come up in that search, do them too.

Plenty more where these came from!

Krautrock is really a pretty loose term now. These albums typify some of the earlier sounds.

Actually, a Google search most likely would turn up the very best ones. Maybe not these ones though. Either way, I like these ones.
Eloy are doubly cool because not only were they krautrock but they also made groovy prog rock concept albums!!! What could be better than that???

My absolute favourite German band is Can. Wonderfully inventive and seriously weird.

I forgot this one by Eloy . It's a little more typical Krautrock-y than the other ones.
