Listening to the excellently named "Timewind" now, very nice it is too. The only other Klaus Schulze record I've heard is "Moondawn", which is also excellent.

Cyborg is great too.

Cant go wrong with any of his early-ish albums.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 10 June 2010 12:02 (thirteen years ago) link
I've only ever heard "Irrlicht" and "Picture Music" and didn't like either of them
― Wenlock & Mandelson (Tom D.), Thursday, 10 June 2010 12:10 (thirteen years ago) link
.. and "Black Dance", didn't like that either
― Wenlock & Mandelson (Tom D.), Thursday, 10 June 2010 12:12 (thirteen years ago) link
You're fae Paisley though.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 10 June 2010 12:12 (thirteen years ago) link
They didn't like modern sounding stuff there. It was all C&W clubs round there when you were a lad, admit it!
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 10 June 2010 12:18 (thirteen years ago) link
You saying Chou Pharot weren't modern sounding?
― Wenlock & Mandelson (Tom D.), Thursday, 10 June 2010 12:20 (thirteen years ago) link
Chou Pahrot even
hah, I remember you ysi-ing that once.

Gotta support yr local artists!

other famous sons of Paisley: Andrew Neil, Paulo Nutini, my dad.
― Neil S, Thursday, 10 June 2010 13:06 (thirteen years ago) link
I had no idea paulo nutini was from Paisley.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 10 June 2010 14:44 (thirteen years ago) link
Sadly true. Also Tom Conti. But, in our defence, there's Fulton Mackay. And David Tennant.
― Wenlock & Mandelson (Tom D.), Thursday, 10 June 2010 14:47 (thirteen years ago) link
Gerard Butler too, apparently: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paisley#Notable_people

Oh yes, I think his maw lives in near my maw
― Wenlock & Mandelson (Tom D.), Thursday, 10 June 2010 14:50 (thirteen years ago) link
Still, Krautrock, eh? Ye cannae whack it!
isnt steven moffat from paisley too?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 10 June 2010 14:59 (thirteen years ago) link
hey tom was Krautrock popular in paisley when you were a lad?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 10 June 2010 15:00 (thirteen years ago) link
In my household, for sure. My sister had "Neu 2", and Faust "So Far" (think she borrowed that one).
― Wenlock & Mandelson (Tom D.), Thursday, 10 June 2010 15:02 (thirteen years ago) link
When did you leave Paisley?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 10 June 2010 15:05 (thirteen years ago) link
Not soon enough... also remember a guy at school bringing in one of his big brother's Amon Duul II albums to play
― Wenlock & Mandelson (Tom D.), Thursday, 10 June 2010 15:09 (thirteen years ago) link
See, yer wrong, it was a veritable hotbed of Krautrock!
― Wenlock & Mandelson (Tom D.), Thursday, 10 June 2010 15:11 (thirteen years ago) link
I started primary school in East Kilbride in 77 then moved to Blackwood march 78, and I dont recall any krautrock at all funnily enough :). Most of us boys were into Madness in about 1980-ish. Dont recall anything before that musically tbh.
EK has had a few famous folk too.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 10 June 2010 15:16 (thirteen years ago) link
I bet the Reid brothers had Krautrock lps.
I bet they didn't. Older brothers and sisters required - the older the better.
― Wenlock & Mandelson (Tom D.), Thursday, 10 June 2010 15:17 (thirteen years ago) link
Tago Mago, certainly.
― Mark G, Thursday, 10 June 2010 15:17 (thirteen years ago) link
Was there record shops in Paisley that sold krautrock? or was that glasgow only?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 10 June 2010 15:20 (thirteen years ago) link
More than one. Stereo One, for instance, that's where I bought "Bruder des Schattens, Sohne des Lichts".
― Wenlock & Mandelson (Tom D.), Thursday, 10 June 2010 15:23 (thirteen years ago) link
I remember the Kraftwerk double album being in our local Newsagent's Lp racks. This'd be just after Autobahn was a hit.
― Mark G, Thursday, 10 June 2010 15:24 (thirteen years ago) link
Plus that second hand shop where I got "Live at the Crypt" by AMM (not Krautrock, but you get the idea) and countless others (xp)
― Wenlock & Mandelson (Tom D.), Thursday, 10 June 2010 15:24 (thirteen years ago) link
Got this in Paisley:

Lots of stuff
― Wenlock & Mandelson (Tom D.), Thursday, 10 June 2010 15:26 (thirteen years ago) link
TBH, there was as prolly much K/rock available in Paisley as Glasgow, later on Stereo One opened up an upper floor that was absolutely crammed with new + 2nd hand 70s albums - over-priced because people had started collecting stuff by then
― Wenlock & Mandelson (Tom D.), Thursday, 10 June 2010 15:33 (thirteen years ago) link
was paisley as good in the 80s for buying music as the 70s?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 10 June 2010 15:51 (thirteen years ago) link
Dunno, there was a branch of Listen in Paisley in the 70s. Not my era though. Record collecting, as a LOL-U-Nerd hobby, didn't really take off to the mid-to-late 80s, I think?
― Wenlock & Mandelson (Tom D.), Thursday, 10 June 2010 15:57 (thirteen years ago) link
Oh I thought you had bought all this Krautrock in the mid-late 70s , lol.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 10 June 2010 15:58 (thirteen years ago) link
Cheers for that
― Wenlock & Mandelson (Tom D.), Thursday, 10 June 2010 15:59 (thirteen years ago) link
I thought you were of marcello's age and was buying stuff as a young teen, before you think I thought you were ancient!
xp
too late!
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 10 June 2010 16:00 (thirteen years ago) link
its your own fault, you kept talking about 70s stuff, i assumed that was when you were buying it all.
Marcello was buying Stockhausen when he was 9 and shit tho! In his local Woolies.
― Wenlock & Mandelson (Tom D.), Thursday, 10 June 2010 16:02 (thirteen years ago) link
Yes, in the 80s and 90s!
Funnily enough, that woolies was where I was buying my Madness singles!
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 10 June 2010 16:02 (thirteen years ago) link
never heard this popol vuh before. took like a second and i knew i loved it.
― sonderangerbot, Thursday, 10 June 2010 16:14 (thirteen years ago) link
Big in Paisley in the late 80s and 90s apparently!
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 10 June 2010 16:38 (thirteen years ago) link
Well, no, I'd never heard that one then. This stuff was still next-to-impossible to find, you might occasionally luck out tho.
― Wenlock & Mandelson (Tom D.), Thursday, 10 June 2010 16:42 (thirteen years ago) link
Sort of surprised you don't hear more about this particular Vuh record, actually.It sounds of a piece with their epics "Letzte Tage, Letzte Nacht" and "Einsjager und Siebenjager."That is Renate I hear, right?
― Trip Maker, Thursday, 10 June 2010 16:43 (thirteen years ago) link
