Modern bands that mix Krautrock/motorik with Hawkwind-style psychedelia

Any recommendations? Anything along the lines of Nudity or Aqua Nebula Oscillator, if anyone's managed to check them out (it's hard to find copies of any of this shit).

Reatards Unite, Thursday, 10 July 2008 17:15 (fifteen years ago) link

I've never actually heard them but didn't people say that that band wooden shjips was doing this?

filthy dylan, Thursday, 10 July 2008 17:29 (fifteen years ago) link

yes, definitely some Hawkwind going on with them.

sleeve, Thursday, 10 July 2008 17:31 (fifteen years ago) link

I think we did a thread like this recently .... yes to Wooden Shjips .... how about Aqua Nebula's labelmates Turzi (on some tracks, like "Afghanistan" or "Alpes") ....

haven't heard Nudity, what's up with them?

dmr, Thursday, 10 July 2008 17:35 (fifteen years ago) link

ditto to The Wooden Shjips

Steve Shasta, Thursday, 10 July 2008 17:36 (fifteen years ago) link

haven't heard Nudity, what's up with them?

Check out The Nightfeeders - 21 minute long single/EP/album (I've heard it called all three at different times) they released earlier this year. I think it's limited to 800, but you should still be able to find it if you look around. It's worth the money. I think they've got a myspace with samples too.

Wooden Shjips certainly fits the definition as well, but I've got their albums and actually seen them too. I'll check out Turzi though.

Reatards Unite, Thursday, 10 July 2008 17:43 (fifteen years ago) link

silver machines but they are kinda "modern rock" pro sounding

M@tt He1ges0n, Thursday, 10 July 2008 17:56 (fifteen years ago) link

NUDITY!

much love. those guys are family.

Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 10 July 2008 17:59 (fifteen years ago) link

Circle

Dominique, Thursday, 10 July 2008 18:00 (fifteen years ago) link

sometimes Acid Mothers Temple (like on In C)

Dominique, Thursday, 10 July 2008 18:00 (fifteen years ago) link

I have a bunch of pre-Nightfeeders Nudity stuff mostly limited edition/private pressing sorta stuff; also pre-Quitty (band has gone through a few line-up changes - originally had two drummers, which was teh awesome).

Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 10 July 2008 18:01 (fifteen years ago) link

Cirle and AMT OTM.

Alex in SF, Thursday, 10 July 2008 18:09 (fifteen years ago) link

Turzi isn't as heavy and raw as some of the other stuff being talked about here (and they also go in for Goblin type synth stuff) but they curated a pretty sweet compilation of French psych called Voyage which is the only place I've heard Aqua Nebula Oscillator, their track "Ready to Fly" is on there

dmr, Thursday, 10 July 2008 18:11 (fifteen years ago) link

In a way isn't this also Clinic?

filthy dylan, Thursday, 10 July 2008 18:19 (fifteen years ago) link

clinic more on the motorik side than the hawkwind side to be sure

Cave's Hunt Like Devil, maybe, it's not that psychedelic, though.

Yup.

Holy Fuck seconded, their second LP, LP, is awesome.

stephen, Saturday, 12 July 2008 22:32 (fifteen years ago) link

holy fuck... they're that tedious indie-math band where the two guys play tables, right? i mean, the tables have pedals all over them, but still... tables.

GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ, Saturday, 12 July 2008 22:48 (fifteen years ago) link

Yeah, GOTT PUNCH, but tedious is the last word I'd use to describe 'em. I don't know what you mean by "indie-math," but it sounds inaccurate.

inhibitionist, Sunday, 13 July 2008 03:55 (fifteen years ago) link

holy fuck definitely rock the motorik-kraut moves, hawkwind not so much. seen them live twice and they are very good.

oscar, Sunday, 13 July 2008 04:03 (fifteen years ago) link

stephen, you've just been red-flagged.

Drugs A. Money, Sunday, 13 July 2008 14:02 (fifteen years ago) link

I've spent the last month totally immersed in Audionom, which is very much on the the Kraut end of things, Joy Division touches in places, but also do 13 minute songs called Boogierock. I can believe this band hasn't gotten more attention. Retrospektiv might end up on my best-of-the-Decade list.

bendy, Sunday, 13 July 2008 14:24 (fifteen years ago) link

did anyone mention "silver tongued sisyphus" by cloudland canyon? i guess i just did.

GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ, Sunday, 13 July 2008 14:53 (fifteen years ago) link

i thought that audionom cd was alright, actually, but one of the few in recent memory where i wanted more vocal tracks.

GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ, Sunday, 13 July 2008 14:53 (fifteen years ago) link

stephen, you've just been red-flagged.

stephen, Sunday, 13 July 2008 16:29 (fifteen years ago) link

Holy Fuck is certainly not what I'm looking for, but a couple of the recs in this thread have been pretty cool so far.

Titan

Herman G. Neuname, Sunday, 13 July 2008 18:16 (fifteen years ago) link

good call on titan. raining sun of light etc is pretty much what question poster's asking for

kamerad, Sunday, 13 July 2008 18:38 (fifteen years ago) link

the cdrs even more so!

Herman G. Neuname, Sunday, 13 July 2008 18:39 (fifteen years ago) link

I can't believe Hawkwind were called Krautrock on this thread. That strains my brain.

But wait...*gasp!* Stephen has been red flagged! OH NOESZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bimble, Friday, 18 July 2008 07:45 (fifteen years ago) link

You could have heard me proclaiming the Hawkwind=the UK Neu! hypothesis in pubs all over north London in 1998, and also that Loop were their natural heirs.

Jamie T Smith, Friday, 18 July 2008 08:21 (fifteen years ago) link

Hawkwind = krautpubrock. Surely?

Brio, Friday, 14 May 2010 01:56 (thirteen years ago) link

Endless Boogie finally clicked with me a few months ago, big time. Still love Audionom. Dark Meat's latest, Truce Opium is in this vein, and good, but not as good as their less-hypnojamming first record.

bendy, Friday, 14 May 2010 02:07 (thirteen years ago) link

I've been dubious about Endless Boogie but I'm gonna make the plunge.
The Dark Meat I've heard seemed cool.

Brio, Friday, 14 May 2010 14:30 (thirteen years ago) link

I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Friday, 14 May 2010 18:38 (thirteen years ago) link

some stuff on the 1st mammatus rec that leans in this direction, though generally more hawkwind-aligned.

contenderizer, Friday, 14 May 2010 21:21 (thirteen years ago) link

Oh yeah, GONG sometimes have that motorik/drone thing going. So much dross to sort through to get to the nuggets, though!

Bashful Johnny C. (staggerlee), Saturday, 15 May 2010 00:23 (thirteen years ago) link

Mugstar
I might like them more than Circle, even. 1st record is good & I'm not sure what I think of new one but it has a great sound for sure, a lot of alternating spacey & heavy repetitive... trensmat 7" is awesome & collected on label CD comp

Snop Snitchin, Saturday, 15 May 2010 00:40 (thirteen years ago) link

someone mentioned the heads. otm. white hills too.

contenderizer, Saturday, 15 May 2010 00:43 (thirteen years ago) link

new Cave sounds good on 1st listen, they mellowed out some.

noone mentioned La Otracina, White Hills, or Burnt Hills in this thread... former might be too proggy to qualify. (xpost)
See also trensmat singles, 6 sides of contemporary Hawkwind covers compiled partially on aforementioned label CD comp.

Snop Snitchin, Saturday, 15 May 2010 00:54 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah except i just mentioned white hills

that trensmat singles set is cool, only place i've heard mugstar (who turn in my favorite track)

contenderizer, Saturday, 15 May 2010 00:58 (thirteen years ago) link

five months pass...

Mugstar have had quite the banner year! Both ...Sun, Broken... and Lime are spectacular. Just cranked the latter at ear-splitting levels and drifted right out of my head. Wonderful.

Is that the thing that was released as a bunch of split 7"s a while back?

Haven't seen the name Magoo in years.

Sméagol-Eye Cherry (NickB), Saturday, 13 November 2010 14:14 (thirteen years ago) link

i've heard songs from it that were released earlier in EPs. "lord of light" is pretty dope

kamerad, Saturday, 13 November 2010 14:33 (thirteen years ago) link

Mugstar and White Hills run that album.

People who are into White Hills, Moon Duo etc should check out GNOD.

Carl Jung Jeezy (Doran), Saturday, 13 November 2010 14:45 (thirteen years ago) link

Saw Kinski do "Masters of the Universe" with Kawabata on guitar two years back at Terrastock 7. Mind-melting doesn't begin to cover it.

Ned Raggett, Saturday, 13 November 2010 15:21 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah that was unbelievable. and kawabata was playing this bizarre pipe-looking guitar-thing that shredded people's hearing

kamerad, Saturday, 13 November 2010 15:48 (thirteen years ago) link

Yeah that's the CD comp of the 3 7"s, plus bonuses from Moon Duo, Magoo & one of the Mugstar tracks IIRC

Wandering Boy Poet, Monday, 15 November 2010 13:36 (thirteen years ago) link

Yeah I am sorry but I am just imagining Magoo w/o Timbaland rapping the words so "Space is Deep." PICK A BETTER NAME.

you're not là-bas of me (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Tuesday, 16 November 2010 02:26 (thirteen years ago) link

You know Magoo the band predate Timbaland & Magoo by about 3 years right?

Wandering Boy Poet, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 12:48 (thirteen years ago) link

And Mr. Magoo proceeds them by decades. It's all relative.

EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 14:37 (thirteen years ago) link

Hadn't heard Mugstar before, the samples on iTunes sound great! I need to track their stuff down.

currently listening to purling hiss st/lp = gtr dude from birds of maya, epic shit. not so much kraut, but loads of hawkwind, endlessnessism. what i always wanted endless boogie to sound like.

That tribute is pretty good. I don't have all 15 of those tracks, though.
Can't remember what blog I got it from. I'd really like to hear Fly Ashtray doing Spirit of the Age!
I think I've only got like 8 or 10 of those tracks.

Purling Hiss played here in Brooklyn last night. Very cool live. They didn't headline so it was only about ~40 minutes, but I was impressed. Nothing revolutionary here, but if you dig this kind of music they are extremely skilled exponents of it.

Badmotorfinger Debate Club (MFB), Saturday, 18 December 2010 20:33 (thirteen years ago) link

Australia's Blank Realm is doing some things along those lines now. With a Suicide filter interposed. Album is Deja What? A song to start with might be "Full Moon Door."
