I think I should start with LSD, to fully comprehend what is going on here. This is from a reality that I am not part of.

Very psychedelic

na doesent belong

The volume division is pretty clean: Tight vs. loose, album vs. jam. There are hints of the avant side of Krautrock, but really the thing reads more like interesting metal. Off the rails the skronks are free jazz anyway. Double LPs make hefty bookmarks.

This flew past as the kooky trippy rock kids always do

Do you like when Germans jam? I do

Heavy psych made by a commune. Like a mutant version of Hawkwind; a band with whom they shared a bassist. Not much outside of Black Sabbath was darker than this when it was released in 1970. Part of the primordial ooze from which metal emerged. This is their experimental magnum opus, up there with the likes of "Tago Mago" and "Faust IV" in the krautrock canon. Dark, sprawling, weird, and singularly unique.

Important Krautrock, but unfortunately I never really got into it much. Feels a bit more symphonic metal and it all sounds a little cheesy, but it's saved by the german-ness of it all.

I liked this a lot. Heavy, driving and psychedelic. It reminds me of something that I considered submitting as my user-submitted album - an album called Satori by Flower Travellin' Band from Japan released in 1971. It's got a very similar vibe, so if you like this album I recommend checking out Satori as well. 4 stars.

This was right up my alley. The krautrock filter overtop all the psychedelic, proggy, avant-garde sounds is exactly what I needed shoved into my ear holes this morning. LOVE IT.

Honestly, most of the record was just ok, even though I love Krautrock. However, the improvs are really where it shines.

I feel like I'm always struggling with this Krautrock whether it is actually self-satire. I liked this OK and some of it very well but a little too much faffing around for me.

7/10. Very pleasant, definitely faded into the background while I was working though so didn't leave me with a lot of impressions.

Never been a fan of krautrock, and no matter how many chances I've given, the result's always been the same: a sonic brick wall that feels more like a lysergic exercise than something creative
