Mystery_Ship up until recently I had only dipped my toe but now its about all I want to listen to. Keep posting!

The Touch The Feel

the hell. this is like discovering air later on in life. I love a lot of Klaus Schulze who was in early Tangerine Dream and a ton of solo things. highs and lows. i love the first few Richard Wahnfried lps, but it is there is just so much diverse great shit it is almost pointless to post one or two.

and what seems to be a slept on classic

Finally! A krautrock thread...

Let Günther Schickert into your life. At times he's kind of like a krauty George Brigman.

Also need to alert the squad to this incredible proto-CAN number. Be sure to clock in on the B-side and GET IT IN YOUR MIND!!!

And here's my favorite summer anthem from CAN bassist and tape-splicer Holger Czukay.

Not sure if this counts but it’s close? Seems like the big dogs have already been mentioned

On a Gunter Schickert note, I did a vinyl pressing of his old 70s band, GAM, about 15 years ago that not enough people heard. The Freeman brothers originally tracked down the unreleased records from '78 and released it on CD-r so gotta give them credit.

Clif

dirty knobber that GAM is really cool and I might look around for a copy, but (unless the other songs are radically different) i would struggle to call that glam.

oh wow. never heard this. great stuff. i haven't heard of a lot of his other stuff. Good choice on not going with the art from the cd on the reissue.

I've got Die Grüne Reise on right now

VERY pleased to report that Herr Schickert is still weird as hell and making music in 2024 and it sounds pretty good!

STARE INTO GUNTER!

Nathan Loud

Also, I know @Randall mentioned this one already, but I really feel like someone needs to sample this groove already. Does anyone have Rick Rubin's email address? GET BUSY RICK, YOU'RE WELCOME.

dirty knobber

Clif No, it's straight up Krautrock and not glam at all. GAM is the band name.

Clif

dirty knobber I misread your post sorry. the songs are really cool though. nice reish.

Homework for book club: DUE NEXT FRIDAY, look at the inside cover of Krautrocksampler.

Here's a sneak peak:

There will be a quiz on whether or not this rules. (It does.)

Heheh.

Just came across this comp. Looks promising.
