the cdrs even more so!

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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?

Bimble, Friday, 18 July 2008 09:22 (fifteen years ago) link

Also, Jamie T. is clearly trying to hog the spotlight here, and succeeding.

Bimble, Friday, 18 July 2008 09:23 (fifteen years ago) link

Wooden Shjips were really quite boring when I saw the live.

I know they're not stoner rock or fashionable among people with big beards, but The Early Years fulfilled this brief for me quite happily. (though they've gone down the Harmonia electronic route lately.)

Masonic Boom, Friday, 18 July 2008 11:39 (fifteen years ago) link

Dave Brock wrote the sleevenote for the UK issue of the 1st NEU! album.

Prml Scrm cover Hawkwind on the b-side of their newest single. I bet they think they are the natural inheritors of Hawkwind's mantle too.

Raw Patrick, Friday, 18 July 2008 11:42 (fifteen years ago) link

The Psychic Paramount does this exceptionally well. as you'd expect from the Laddio Bolocko lineage.

Mr. Hal Jam, Friday, 18 July 2008 14:23 (fifteen years ago) link

urdog are defunct I think?

I'm holding out hopes for the six finger satellite reunion next month. they were never too hawkwindish but their last couple of albums sported major motorik moves.

Edward III, Friday, 18 July 2008 14:38 (fifteen years ago) link

someone needs to re-release that Cave CD
There is a lot of upcoming Cave (lp on Important and various 7"s). The band has moved on from the Hunt Like Devil phase. More synths and such.
I play with Cave when I get the chance, but I'm an auxiliary member of the band now.

Trip Maker, Friday, 18 July 2008 15:36 (fifteen years ago) link

Thanks for the info, Trip Maker, I'll keep my eyes out. I was really sucked in by what i heard from Hunt Like Devil. I don't think I've ever been so frustrated trying to hunt down a release. There needs to be a Beatport for obscure rock groups.

rockapads, Friday, 18 July 2008 18:14 (fifteen years ago) link

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

You are aware that members of Hawkwind were also in Amon Duul, right? Warrior On The Edge of Time is totally kraut-y.

Alex in SF, Friday, 18 July 2008 18:17 (fifteen years ago) link

Krautwind and Hawkrock.

Bimble, Friday, 18 July 2008 18:54 (fifteen years ago) link

Um, hello, Opa Loka? if that isn't Krautrock, I don't know what is.

Masonic Boom, Saturday, 19 July 2008 12:55 (fifteen years ago) link

Looks like Cloudland Canyon was already mentioned. But I find that there seems to be an endless supply of original Krautrock to discover. If you've heard more than a couple hundred albums, then you should be treating us to a listening guide!

The track "Executing Focus" by Endless Boogie.

two months pass...

what does everyone think of the first Queens of the Stone Age album? fits in with all this, hmmmm?? (three months expostfacto ofcourse)

Drugs A. Money, Friday, 10 October 2008 01:40 (fifteen years ago) link

no.

REIGN IN FUDGE (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Friday, 10 October 2008 10:20 (fifteen years ago) link

There's a new Giant Brain album out, great band.

one year passes...

more more more

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

Moon Duo

Woven Bones, maybe...?

ImprovSpirit, Friday, 14 May 2010 18:17 (thirteen years ago) link

Limp Bizkit Virtual Raping Teddy Bear (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 14 May 2010 18:20 (thirteen years ago) link

this isn't modern, but i got this record a couple months ago and it did kinda make me think of kraut/wind hawk/rock:

A+ display name.

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.

Cul De Sac!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Prog", "Norwegian Prog" or maybe simply just "Racist" (crüt), Saturday, 13 November 2010 05:49 (thirteen years ago) link

That In Search of Hawkwind album looks intriguing.

EZ Snappin, Saturday, 13 November 2010 12:26 (thirteen years ago) link

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

you're not là-bas of me (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Saturday, 13 November 2010 13:39 (thirteen years ago) link

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

holy shi @ prospect of Brainbombs covering Hawkwind

Different Geir, Still SBing (DJ Mencap), Thursday, 16 December 2010 16:13 (thirteen years ago) link

pretty sure I leonardo'd that assassins of silence comp at one point

if nothing else this thread will result in some great display names (Edward III), Thursday, 16 December 2010 18:00 (thirteen years ago) link

I def. had some passing thoughts about this thread some time in the last week, and thinking f/I was the answer...maybe Monster Magnet's Tab also, just bcz it reminds me so much of f/I...

Ned Rag & the Evil Olive Gardens (Drugs A. Money), Thursday, 16 December 2010 18:21 (thirteen years ago) link

also f/I may actually be spelled F/i duh...

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."
