TD -Electronic Meditation

Did I miss something with Tone Float??

Primitive hippie freakouts, everybody sitting in a circle playing bongos and flutes.

Maybe that's important to you.

Not certain it is... I'd have to sample it before investing...

Tone Float and Electronic Meditation are two albums that beg to be compared with one another, great call!
Interesting how both bands really changed their style from their first releases, in fact looking at both band's first five or six albums it's such an interesting journey, to see how they got from point A to point B as it were.

The same arguably goes for Can, whose earliest recordings border on primitive garage-mayhem.

I just played Electronic Meditation and Tone Float back to back and man I like that TD album even better than I remembered. Quite a bit of mayhem on this one, very powerful at times while Tone Float is very trippy with percussion, flute and floating organ leading the way, just not nearly as dynamic as Electronic Meditation.
Great reference with the early Can recorings and one might reference Xhol Caravan's Electrip from 1969 although it has vocals, humour and a clear Jazz flavour that the other two don't.
