Shower thought:
From the time KRAUTROCKSAMPLER was published (1995) to now (2021)...
Is the same amount of time from the release of Amon Duul's PSYCHEDELIC UNDERGROUND (1969) to the release of KRAUTROCKSAMPLER (1995)
26 years. Yikes

I guess we're all getting old.
1969 seemed so long ago as a kid in the 80s. Now it seems like 2000 was just yesterday.
Still the music persists.

So right.
Cornucopea ? Almost 21 years ago.
I still remember entering the Royal Festival Hall, Julian standing there in his boots saying hi to the people etc. Feels like yesterday.
Weird.

Also weird to think when we saw Ash Ra Tempel back then they were in their late 40s/early 50s and now Manuel is pushing 70 and Klaus is past that.

Crazy to think of it that way - 1995 certainly doesn't seem that long ago! Of course, I was just a sophomore in college then, and the 60s / early 70s were before I was born. And until krautrocksampler, I was barely aware of any music outside of the US/UK. So the book didn't just open my mind to another era, it revealed a whole other world.

The first 60s album I bought was The Doors first album, shortly after I bought Peggy Suicide (my first Cope album). I remember my very young mind considering the 24 year old Doors album to be an almost ancient artifact. Peggy Suicide will be 30 years old this year.

When i first started getting into punk - early 1979 at the age of 10 - 1977 seemed ages ago and then when I started getting into the Beatles two years later, Revolver was 15 years old etc ... yes scary ... I first heard the Treason single around 40 years ago now ... even scarier!

I've seen Mr Cope in the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s. That is five decades.
That is like listening to my late Dad's Count John McCormack and Joseph Locke 78s he'd had since before WW2.... in the 1980s.

Jeez. I was a mere 34 year old then. Now I'm a pensioner!
I remember picking up my prized Krautrocksampler from Piccadilly Records in Manchester. It seemed fitting to buy Ash Ra Tempel's first album on CD at the same time, so I did. (That I also bought a Barclay James Harvest CD is beside the point.) Still enjoying all three purchases to this day.
