How come nobody is answering the question!!!

Of the above songs, which one did you hear first and which one is the most krautakular?

i heard faith healers first...but the stereolab song is v. v. good.

first and most krautakular: thin white rope "yoo do right"

Just remembered Barbara Manning's cover of Amon Duul UK's "Marcus Leid" on 1212 (1997) which is really, really great.

Since nobody has answered my question, I assume that Thin White Rope did some kind of five minute chopped up version, and so they are not worth my time.

I think it's around 7-8 minutes... You should give it a listen if you're so inclined.

don't forget Barbara also did Faust's "Flashback Caruso" in 1995, which gets us that much closer to that magical year of 1992

Um, I can't remember what year, Gygax. 1992? That Petrol Emotion also had a live version of Mother Sky on a single. I can't remember if I heard it before I heard that Faith Healers album though. TPE also did a song from Daydream Nation when I saw them that time. It might have been the year thatDaydream Nation came out. That Petrol Emotion were kinda crappy except for the first album. Their american singer was kinda doofy. but i always dug those doodz from the undertones on guitar. they got greatguitar sounds on that first album.

7-8 MINUTE VERSIONS OF "YOO DOO RIGHT" DO NOT COMPUTE

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Thursday, 14 October 2004 23:22 (nineteen years ago) link

the worst version of "Yoo Doo Right" is by the Geraldine Fibbers.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 14 October 2004 23:26 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm not sure if I have heard any of these songs. Except maybe "Mother Sky" but did anyoen else cover that? I heard that in 94/95 when my friend Mary played it on ehr radio show, and later we went to her house and listened ot her dad's copy of the original.
