    Excellent. Was just listening to that in the car the last week, one of my modern Krautrock favorites. Maybe not quite the Krautrock of old that we love so much, but I think a big piece of their heart is there, and it especially shows up in a live setting. This video below from a Paris show is incredible, great sound and it looks professionally shot. Select the high rez playback if you have the bandwidth ...

    They will play next month near my hometown, hopefully it will get as great as your clip! I heard that The Notwist are also quite well known for a german band outside of Germany. If you like them and don´t know Tocotronic yet, I think they could be also your cup of tea. But they have only released one special edition of their albums in english: KOOK.

    That´s not from that album, but a great b-side...

    This is in german, but one of my all-time favs:

    A girl at work had a free download card for a couple of Notwist songs from iTunes. She handed it to me and was like, "here, this sounds like something you'd probably like." I laughed and was like, "Oh, not a fan?" And she looked at me just shook her head. :laugh:
