KRAUTROCK Listening Klub! - New Albums Every Wednesday

that's one PV i haven't heard.

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.

I've only ever heard "Irrlicht" and "Picture Music" and didn't like either of them

.. and "Black Dance", didn't like that either

You're fae Paisley though.

They didn't like modern sounding stuff there. It was all C&W clubs round there when you were a lad, admit it!

You saying Chou Pharot weren't modern sounding?

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.

I had no idea paulo nutini was from Paisley.

Sadly true. Also Tom Conti. But, in our defence, there's Fulton Mackay. And David Tennant.

Gerard Butler too, apparently: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paisley#Notable_people

Oh yes, I think his maw lives in near my maw

Still, Krautrock, eh? Ye cannae whack it!

isnt steven moffat from paisley too?

hey tom was Krautrock popular in paisley when you were a lad?

In my household, for sure. My sister had "Neu 2", and Faust "So Far" (think she borrowed that one).

When did you leave Paisley?

Not soon enough... also remember a guy at school bringing in one of his big brother's Amon Duul II albums to play

See, yer wrong, it was a veritable hotbed of Krautrock!

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.

I bet the Reid brothers had Krautrock lps.

I bet they didn't. Older brothers and sisters required - the older the better.

Tago Mago, certainly.

Was there record shops in Paisley that sold krautrock? or was that glasgow only?

More than one. Stereo One, for instance, that's where I bought "Bruder des Schattens, Sohne des Lichts".

I remember the Kraftwerk double album being in our local Newsagent's Lp racks. This'd be just after Autobahn was a hit.

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)

Got this in Paisley:

Lots of stuff

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

was paisley as good in the 80s for buying music as the 70s?

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?

Oh I thought you had bought all this Krautrock in the mid-late 70s , lol.

Cheers for that

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!

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.

its your own fault, you kept talking about 70s stuff, i assumed that was when you were buying it all.

Yes, in the 80s and 90s!

Funnily enough, that woolies was where I was buying my Madness singles!

never heard this popol vuh before. took like a second and i knew i loved it.

Big in Paisley in the late 80s and 90s apparently!

Well, no, I'd never heard that one then. This stuff was still next-to-impossible to find, you might occasionally luck out tho.

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?

Djong Yun

Ah.

^ Opening track on "Hosianna Mantra"!
