    I'm glad Gomorrha made your list. One of the earliest examples of Krautrock and its a great record. There are some excellent choises here and definately a few I've not come across before. Thanks for the post.

    Oh my God. ..... I have most of these albums and more. Wow amazing work I did think about Nektar but they are actually a British group who had to go to Germany to make it.

    Man! this is fun!! I was very, very fortuante to become friends with Hogler Czukay of CAN.... Interesting thing he told me once about Future Days in an e-mail that he had a fight with the band over the recording because he felt the percussion was way to loud. When they went back to re-mix the albums for Super Audio, whic I was very fortunate that he sent me all copies of, they agreed so many years later. I told him it was one of my favorite CAN albums and he said his too... BUt, believe or not, he told me his favorire was the very first one, that was released actually later was Delay 1968. Uphill is a killer song.....

    Très , très belle liste . J ' aurai peut-être ajouté un petit " Dzyan " mais c' est du jazz rock . ( hors sujet ) .
    Et j' aime beaucoup " Echo " ( 1972 ) d' A.R ( Achim Reichel ) et Machines.

    I personally thought Popol Vuh Aguirre should haveade the list.

    Half of this list are progressive rock artists, not exactly krautrock. Krautrock is a genre also played by Austrian and Swiss groups. Not everything German is krautrock. Birth Control is a German rock band that fuses progressive rock and hard rock, but the fact of being German does not mean being krautrock.
    Krautrock (also called "Kosmische musik") is a German avant-garde/experimental rock movement that emerged at the end of the 1960's. It was intended to go beyond the eccentricities developed by the wild psychedelic rock universe of the US, by giving a special emphasis to electronic treatments, sound manipulation and minimal hypnotic motifs (continuing the style of "musique concrete" and minimalist repetitive music but within a more accessible environment).
    Krautrock put the emphasis on extended and ecstatic instrumental epics, neglecting the format of conventional psych-pop songs. The term Krautrock was first used by the British music press in a very derogatory way. The term quickly found a better reputation in underground music circles and finally gained a certain popularity (thanks to the Brain-Festival Essen...)
    The Krautrock movement is widely associated with notorious bands such as Popol Vuh, Amon Duul, Faust, Neu!, Ash Ra Tempel, Agitation Free, Guru Guru, etc. With their own particular artistic expression, these musical collectives provided rocking psychedelic incantations, mantra like drones, melancholic lugubrious atmospheres, long and convoluted collective improvisations, binary repetitive drum pulses, fuzz guitars, feedback, primitive electronic noises, hallucinatory ballads, and garage blues rock trips. Krautrock can be described as an anarchic, intense, acid, tellurian, nocturnal, spacey, dark and oneiric "adventure" through rock music.
