...apparently tonight's Grosskopf/Kranemann/Krautwerk gig is cancelled, btw, so I hope nobody had decided to go to it after reading my post there.
Not sure why or when it was cancelled or if it will be rescheduled. It's listed as cancelled on the Facebook event and 3 different ticket sites but there's no mention of the gig at all on the promoter's Facebook or Twitter, which is kind of weird imo. Hope everyone involved is OK.

There was a gig in Brighton which was cancelled due to poor ticket sales.

can’t wait for some alt-right dipshit to discover ‘white overalls’ and turn white supremacists onto krautock

A nicely diverse playlist. Guess they really must like that Klaus Weiss album?

Bear family just started a series of 2cds called Kraut! I think it might include some of the rockier stuff that Cope was trying to exclude.
There are also a number of contemporary to the non-scene bands from elsewhere like Area and Balerno di Bronzo from Italy, Nyl from France and a few other things worldwide that if you like krautrock you should also enjoy. Though that might be difficult to predict. I hear an overlap in the sound anyway.Also US things like Larry Young's Lawrence of Newark and the much later Savage Republic Jamahiriya.Or Simply Saucer Cyborgs Revisited and things like peak Chrome that you should also check out. But hopefully you already know that.& at least 70s Hawkwind and Eno era Roxy Music should also appeal.

Interesting that the Bear Family are moving out of their country/rockabilly comfort zone.

Looking forward to volume 4. For some reason I thought that 3 was going to be the last.

Me too, it was the "That's All Folks" text on the back.
Bear Family also has an excellent set of NDW compilations called "Aus grauer Städte Mauern - Die Neue Deutsche Welle (NDW) 1977-85"

That Et Cetera song is gorgeous

here's something I really dig about certain German records - stuff like Neu!, La Dusseldorf, Harmonia, Gottsching's E2-E4, etc. - it sounds like what I imagined the first albums ever released would have sounded like, if you asked me at the age of 6
