I bought Tanz der Lemmings around 1973 for $1.95 at a used record shop because of the cover and the wild song names, I was about 14 and loved it (and still do)...! When I listen to it, its unique sound structures still blow me away...Originally Posted by chalkpie
Interesting Klaus Dinger dedicated Radio Show with an interview and different tracks from his career.

Not sure if you have ruled out physical releases, but this Gila album has been reissued on CD: http://lasercd.com/cd/free-electric-sound
Jail-House-Frog....how great is this tune?!
I'm pretty sure it provides its own contact high.
Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world.
Really enjoyed Latin Mass by OS MUNDI last week, spun it all week along with a couple of others. More Krautrock than the more jazzy and popular followup 43 Minuten. I do prefer the second one myself but the debut from 1971 hits the spot.
"The wind is slowly tearing her apart"
Sad Rain
Anekdoten
Revisiting Can, AD II, and Faust albums. Pretty much all great. I've gotten more mileage out of Yeti this time than ever before. The three last tracks - the "Yeti" improvisations and "Sandoz in the Rain" are amazing.
Just received KRAUTWERK with Harald Grosskopf and Eberhard Kranemann, the former drummer and the latter a founding member of Kraftwerk. EXCELLENT album!
"Always ready with the ray of sunshine"
Dunno if this has already been posted, but there are several excellent compilations of TV appearances etc. of krautrock groups of all possible denominations. This one presents footage of some bands that I hardly ever though I'd get to see:
Of particular note are the clips with Ton Steine Scherben, in which their vital 'live rock' presence is particularly highlighted.
"Improvisation is not an excuse for musical laziness" - Fred Frith
"[...] things that we never dreamed of doing in Crimson or in any band that I've been in," - Tony Levin speaking of SGM
Sandoz in the Rain is one the best acid folk numbers ever put on vinyl.
I believe we mentioned that song already?
But Yeah, what basically makes it stand out is the fact that it was essentially just an impulsive, all-improvised recording of a nonsensical text and acoustic guitar chord structure plus flute, perfectly capturing the mood of a spontaneous jam at a particularly successful hippy-party night. I don't think they ever really outdid that tune.

Yes but Syntelman's March of the Roaring Seventies is even better.

My fave is Snow Your Thirst and Sun Your Open Mouth from Paradieswarts Duul.
It has a vibe not unlike ComusI believe we mentioned that song already?

Indeed, or the Pass the Distance album by Simon Finn (check if you haven't already heard it).
Still I agree that "Syntelman's March" has something very, very special going. The structure itself is so weird that it completely neutralizes the errors of weak vox/pronounciation. In a sense they lost something after Tanz, I think, when (apparently) they more or less quit the communal drug-culture thing and went headfirst into politics and schnapps.

that's an amazing album...and the only thing worthwhile from the "other AD"
I'll have to spin Yeti to hear that Comus vibe,n cos I have not heard it so far.
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
We did mention it. But it is so brellant that it wipes out the past that we mention it again and again...in an eternal loop.I believe we mentioned that song already?

Just in "Sandoz..." imo, not the entire album.
To me they are quite different, but both great. "Syntelman's" is a trippy krautprog epic, while "Sandoz" is acid folk, like Spyros said.
Don't know the Finn tune but will investigate. Danke.
I don't know Carnival and Wolf as well as I should, but the first three all indeed share something special.
Wir fahr'n fahr'n fahr'n auf der Autobahn
Vor uns liegt ein weites Tal
Die Sonne scheint mit Glitzerstrahl
Die Fahrbahn ist ein graues Band
Weisse Streifen, gruener Rand
Jetzt schalten wir ja das Radio an
Aus dem Lautsprecher klingt es dann:
Wir fah'rn auf der Autobahn...

Giving Guru Guru Kanguru a few spins past two days. Holy smokes - I am now totally connecting with this album and its great. Good vintage sound, very interesting jams with excellent and interesting textures/colors, etc. The whole album is really a treat for the ear canals. I like (a lot).
(The RW Krautrock Doc sent me into this direction)

Kanguru is my favorite along with the amazing Radio Bremen broadcast from September 21, 1971
