Cluster – Cluster 71
50 years, eh? Astounding, ney unbelievable that this record is that old. When you listen to it, it still sounds like the future, whether you play it on a crackly old LP on a cheap system, the latest reissue (of … Continue reading
Faust 1971 – 1974
Yes, you do need this. Sorry. Continue reading

A.R. & Machines – Die grüne Reise
When it comes to adopting international musical styles it’s easy to see that Achim Reichel was slightly ahead of his (German) times: He founded The Rattles, the ‘German Beatles’, in 1960, toured England briefly with The Rolling Stones and Bo … Continue reading
Musikalische Gruppen-Improvisation
“This record contains various examples of ‚musical group-improvisations”. Yes it does. The self-explanatory title of the record and the first sentence of the accompanying notes are as precise as demystifying. It’s a bunch of people (not trained musicians, necessarily) improvising … Continue reading
Between – Einstieg
One of the most wonderfully ridiculous things about Krautrock is the wide variety of music that ends up shoved in that section of the record shop and Between is a fine example. Formed by two German students of composition and … Continue reading

Deuter – D
Before the self-assured, enlightened Chaitanya Hari Deuter there was a rather timid Georg “Schorsch” Deuter. The embryonic version of the New Age musician to come is still a bit uneasy looking on the back cover of his adventurous first one … Continue reading
Amon Düül – Paradieswärts Düül
Amon Düül records are known to be snapshots from chaotic freak-outs: “Disaster / Lüüd Noma”, “Collapsing / Singvögel Rückwärts” and “Psychedelic Underground” – each one a glorious racket, a whirlwind made of distorted guitars, bass, drums, piano, bongos and tambourine. … Continue reading

Can – Tago Mago
As I’m sure you all know, “Tago Mago” is a damn strange album. Strange in context (both then and now), strange in concept and also strange looking. Originally intended to have been a single album, new manager Hildegard negotiated … Continue reading

Peter Michael Hamel – Hamel
Having already released a first record with his world music/fusion/whatever group Between, Peter Michael Hamel dropped this stunning body of work. Musically it’s covering a lot of styles without falling apart into its diverse pieces. It is instead a cohesive … Continue reading
