Going to try and check all those out. Thanks 24db. So what are Brainticket...Swiss?...Austrian?24db wrote:Technically Brainticket don't count as they aren't German, having said that they normally get lumped in with KrautrockSydneyFC wrote:Just got it and just finished playing it. Love it. I have been getting into alot of the early 70's German stuff like Amon Duul 11, Faust and Neu!. So Atem is well and truelly something that appeals to me greatly. This type of material has been a revelation to me and I have shortlisted Guru Guru, Brainticket and KRAAN for the near future.
Still havan't managed to get Zeit....but hopefully I will be able to afford it through Amazon soon.
I'd recommend early Ash Ra Tempel (non vocal albums), Agitation Free (after Chris Franke Left)...especially their 'second' LP, Cluster, Harmonia's Deluxe album and Michael Rother's first LP Flammende Herzen

from memory Swiss mate. I'd recommend you get the Freeman brothers 'The Crack in the Cosmic Egg', (now available on CD-ROM...just do a google for the Ultima Thule shop in Leicester in England))...it's about £23 plus P&P, it covers everything Kraut(German) rock wise, as well as all the stuff that normally get's lumped in with them. The TD section has just been expanded (although they don't rate anything TD have done since 1990). The CD Rom comes in a simple to use Text and Net format (just wack it your drive next time you're surfing). Anyway, most of the write ups on Groups have a biography, discography (with Full album artwork), concert listings and memorabilia where available. The ROM also covers producers, labels, PLUS Electronic/New age, Jazz, Industrial and the Avant Garde. It's not perfect (there's a few mistakes...which reminds me I should email them)...But 'Overall' it's the best Encyclopedia on the German SceneSydneyFC wrote:Going to try and check all those out.

If you like Jemon Jelly, you should checkout Bent's second album...I forget the title...it has a jar of onions with an eye ball in I think (freaky )71 dB wrote:I had not even heard the term "Krautrock" until couple of weeks ago when I studied Tangerine Dream online. My favorite "electronic" artists have been from late 80's (S'Express, The Beatmasters), 90's (The Prodigy, Autechre, Jonny L) and 00's (Lemon Jelly, Gotan Project).
The first time I heard about TD was in 1991 when I bought LFO's debut album frequencies. They mention the pioneers of "hypnotic groove" they admire and TD is one of them. So, maybe a year later I borrowed some TD from a friend. I found the music interesting but not dancable enough. At that time I hwas heavily into rave and breakbeat (The Prodigy etc). Now, I enjoy TD much more because during these 15 years I have found classical music, new age, even soft rock. I am more than ready for the music.
Thanks 24db for the recommendation! The cover art sounds too freaky for me!24db wrote:If you like Jemon Jelly, you should checkout Bent's second album...I forget the title...it has a jar of onions with an eye ball in I think (freaky )
One thing I forgot to mention is if and when they update the CD-ROM, past customers will get it for £5. They are also thinking about doing the whole thing as an on-going magazine (but it'll take 100's of issues to cover all of the stuff on the ROM)SydneyFC wrote:Wow I had no idea about the immensity of Crack in the Cosmic egg. Definately going to have to get this. Might have to wait a couple of weeks till my tax refund cheque comes in hopefully they will still have stock. The fact that it has art work is just brilliant. Some of the covers that I have seen from some of these groups are excellent.
lol..Bent have Lemon Jelly's quirky/ humourous use of samples, as well as some great melodies.71 dB wrote:Thanks 24db for the recommendation!

Absolutely awesome 24db. And by the way thanks for the tip about Ultima Thule Records. Never in my wildest dreams did I think a shop lke this existed. I've got it well and truelly bookmarked and intend doing some business with them very soon.24db wrote:One thing I forgot to mention is if and when they update the CD-ROM, past customers will get it for £5.

The New version (it was a book before) also comes with a double? (I need to check ) CD with music, PLUS the ROM has videos and a dozen or so private audio interviews. Steve and Alan wanted to have loads more video's but the copyright side of things was a pain in the arse, and all the legal stuff would have delayed their project for years.
Some of the TD memorabilia jpegs comes from my private collection, but sadly they've scanned it in at low-res, I really should offer them some better scans (and correct the Concert info I provided for them, especially as at least 3 new TD gigs have turned up).
As a 'whole package' I don't think it be criticised, the amount of work that's gone into it is mindbogling!
I used to go in a specialist Heavy Metal record shop in the Midlands that seemed to be doing very well, they were passionate about the music and always seemed to be taking in large amounts of dosh.24db wrote:I've got to admit that it's amazing the shop has survived all these years. It just shows that if you're truly passionate about music and know your market, you can survive. They have done more than almost anybody else in keeping the German rock flame going all through all these years. Contary to some people's rose tinted version of history this music never sold in great qualities, bar 3 or 4 big names. It took the Freeman's book (and the totally off the wall, but 101% enthusiastic uber-fan Julian Cope) to kick start the interest in the whole scene.
