Other krautrock musts.
Dec 14, 2003, 23:59
Let's assume that you have already bought the major albums from all of the artists of my previous post. I would also recommend the following as must-haves:

Klaus Schulze - Irrlicht
Klaus Schulze - Cyborg
Deuter - D
Deuter - Aum
Witthüser & Westrupp - Trips und Träume
Amon Düül - Paradieswärts Düül
Amon Düül - Psychedelic Underground
Cosmic Jokers - Cosmic Jokers
Sergius Golowin - Lord Krishna von Goloka
Holger Czukay & Rolf Dammers - Canaxis
Brainticket - Cottonwoodhill
Dom - Edge of Time
Dzyan - Electric Silence
Dzyan - Time Machine
Kollektiv - SWF Sessions
Yatha Sidhra - A Meditation Mass
Günter Schickert - Überfallig
Annexus Quam - Osmose
Sand - Ultrasonic Seraphim
Gila - Gila 'Free Electric Sound'
Floh de Cologne - Fließbandbaby's Beat Show
one of the Kluster albums
Anima - Stürmischer Himmel
Anima - Anima

Lots of people hate Anima, but you should hear at least the first one.

If you're at all curious about the electronic avenues krautrock paved, you will want to hear the following:

Ash Ra Tempel - Inventions for Electric Guitar
Manuel Göttsching - E2-E4
Conrad Schnitzler - Blau
A.R. & Machines - Echos aus Zeit der grünen Reise

The following are sketchier, but you may want to try some of them.

Limbus 4 - Mandalas
Embryo - Steig Aus
Embryo - Embryo's Rache
Out of Focus - Out of Focus
Eiliff - Eiliff
Mythos - Mythos

Lastly, here are some masterpieces that haven't seen legit reissue, but there are boots available of these:

the first three Kraftwerk
Tomorrow's Gift - Goodbye Future
Between - And The Waters Opened

If you come across boots of the first two Thirsty Moon (self-titled and "You'll Never Come Back"), get them, though they're not quite in the realm of masterpieces.
