MABB v6.6.6

the free form rock music developed by Krautrock was inspired by the psychedelic, hippie movements emerging during the 60’s in the “Anglo-American” world with the music of the Grateful Dead, 13th Floor Elevator…The difference appeared in the way of composition and arrangements. Bands as Faust, Guru Guru, Neu!, Can deconstructed rock standards, making parodies, augmenting their own work with a constant use of experimentation with electronic collages, weird tape manipulations (inspired by the "musique concrete” , minimalismand electro-acoustic), monotonous pieces, mystical atmospheres, precise rhythms, efficient melodies constructed next to improvisations. In their respective styles, bands as Amon Duul, Embryo, Agitation Free, Popol Vuh rapidly found their own combination, providing a strange, mantra-like rock music inspired by the East and ethnic instruments. The typical German sound can be described as a clever, original mix between experimentation, avant-garde, contemporary music, weird, psychedelic rock, jazz, folk and mysticism.



here is a great documentary on the scene

Ash Ra Tempel S/t is a good starting point, similar to pink floyd´s pompeii days.

thanks man.

I know the genre & most of those acts, but never have had any in my collection.

Tangerine Dream is good in my book, as for Kraftwerk

i've been rocking some TD for a while now but haven't heard the rest. i shall certainly check it out

The documentary that i posted a link to is a must see if you want a good overview of the stuff i posted. Its really good

link appears to be broken sir :(



edit- nevermind found it

Nice selection of albums, hafsteinn. The first two Amon Düül II albums are particularly noteworthy.

Krautrock wins. Ash Ra Tempel is great. There are a few Embryo albums that are essential to the genre.

"Embryo's Rache," "Father, Son, and Holy Ghosts," and "We Keep On" are fucking awesome. they have some more ethnic/middle-eastern inspired albums later in their career that are very good as well.



Thanks for all the uploads. There is some classic stuff in there.

holy fuck that was a long list!!?
