Are you listening to German Prog , Psych , Space , Krautrock , Electronic , etc. ?

The last 2 Cosmic Couriers seem kind of a stretch to me,considering the first IMO is a near perfect album,galactic supermarket is almost as good.i heard that Lettmann and Rolf or one of them at least had died.Who knows as a lot of the news on these 2 seems to be hearsay.

 

Xmal Deutschland are a good band to check out, similar to Bauhaus. A Goth type band from the 80s.
I love the album Tocsin.

 

Spent some $$ and bought this clump recently and have them in constant play mode now;

La Dusseldorf "Individuellos"

Ashra "Belle Alliance"

And a couple of Gottsching's 12" singles....."Sueno Latino" "Deeper Distance"

Have another rare item in transit that will join this list, 12" single by Michael Rother "Katzenmuzik"

 

Eloy - Ocean

 

New Holger Czukay solo album in May... "Movie!"

 

Just picked this up in a used CD store--not the kind of title one sees there every day!

 

I played the Harmonia albums last Sunday, what a treat, luv Tracks & Traces with Brian Eno, happy photos, magical times.

 

The most recent are probably the electronic pioneer work by Karheinz Stockhausen, realized 1958-1960. It is perhaps more modern classical or avant garde than rock, but a few years later ...

 

Guru Guru - Känguru

 

The first four albums of jane are great!!!!

 

np :



disc 3 Tradition & Vision

 

RPWL's World Through My Eyes ain't too bad. I think one of the reasons I haven't really followed along with their other albums is trying to get past the strong accent of the lead vocalist lol. The clip I posted from the album entitled 'Roses' actually features Ray Wilson as a guest vocalist.



Think I'm going to have to go back on my words regarding the vocalist as it's only something minor, but his voice will fit with the music as a whole. After listening to a couple more songs on YouTube, methinks it's time to play catchup.

Can't argue with that. I've just (finally) managed to track down a captain trip version (1996) with the full five-minute pale gallery.

 

This is SUCH a great album, and it was a high note to go out on...R.I.P Cluster

 

Indeed , soooo glad i saw them live !

 

As did I, saw them in Toronto. Also got to meet Roedelius and Moebi as well!

 

In a few months there will be a CD box set of music originally released on the Brain label. It's called "The Brain Box" and will be mastered by Eroc. Eroc is also working on box sets of Novalis and Achim Reichel.

I hope the Novalis box set will include all original albums with decent remastering like the recent Grobschnitt box.

Apropos Grobschnitt: "Solar Movie", a live DVD/CD/LP box set will be released very soon.

Now if somebody would remaster the whole Eloy catalog. The original CDs are muddy, the remasters are squished.
