Remember when we were 15 and still cared what was cool?
dudes, krautrock and hawkwind both OBV rule. i just wanted to stir up some controversy.
as for navigating, ive really been enjoying the more garage-y mooney can stuff lately. the combination of raw and psychedelic and hypnotic is exactly what the doctor ordered for me. that, i suppose, is also why ive been listening to so much hawkwind lately.

Didn't mention later Kraftwerk because I assumed everyone has/likes them and aren't really considered 'krautrock'.

I think so, too, and wish someone would release the whole Johannes Vester solo album.

T Dream got way, way worse than amon duul ever did. The worst AD acheived was utter mediocrity, TD, early eighties onwards, are actually offensive to listen to. Also, not AD equivalent of the "dream mixes". I don't think you can go far wrong w/any /70's TD, though.

Scroll down to "Hyperborea" which is probably the last one I could stand to listen to, and then see how much further you have to scroll down to to get to the bottom (metaphorically & literally!)
"Stratosfear" is one of my favourites, I must admit.

following a lengthy, drunken and immensely enjoyable chat with my biopsychology tutor, during which i explained how my knowledge of krautrock is patchy as fuck, he presented me with a CD on wednesday containing the following albums:
amon düül II: yetiash ra tempel: seven upcan: future dayscluster: zuckerzeitharmonia: deluxeklaus schulze: blackdancela düsseldorf: la düsseldorfmichael rother: radio (singles)tangerine dream: poland (warsaw concert)
it is blowing my little mind. zuckerzeit ... i can't believe that was 1974. 1974! and right now i'm grooving happily, privately to michael rother.
i didn't realise how richly melodic so much of this was; i've always thought, aye, krautrock, chugga-CHUGGA-chugga-CHUGGA, nice one. but really, i feel whole new musical vistas are opening up here. surprisingly, the one i engaged with the least (which doesn't mean i didn't enjoy it; just that it didn't captivate me as much) was future days.
not listened to the acid-drenched ash ra tempel thing yet: really looking forward to that.

(although it did confuse the shit out of me at first when i looked at the tracklisting: he said he'd do me a krautrock sampler, and i thought it was going to be a mix.)

You should get the top 50 albums in julian copes list then get the rest!

"Future Days" isn't in his Top 50
― Ich Ber ein Binliner (Tom D.), Saturday, 1 November 2008 13:24 (fifteen years ago) link
Along with some other kanonikal albums
― Ich Ber ein Binliner (Tom D.), Saturday, 1 November 2008 13:32 (fifteen years ago) link
Part of me wonders if Jaki Liebezeit had never made that comment about not being a fan of Future Days whether it would just be universally regarded as their best album.
― Naive Teen Idol, Saturday, 1 November 2008 15:46 (fifteen years ago) link
I don't. It wouldn't.
― sonderangerbot, Saturday, 1 November 2008 15:50 (fifteen years ago) link
Perhaps because you've been completely taken with the narrative that it's somehow a "weaker" entry in their catalogue. It's not.
― Naive Teen Idol, Saturday, 1 November 2008 15:52 (fifteen years ago) link
I can't imagine how Future Days can be considered a weaker album.
― Marco Damiani, Sunday, 2 November 2008 13:46 (fifteen years ago) link
Exactly.
― Naive Teen Idol, Sunday, 2 November 2008 15:22 (fifteen years ago) link
agreed
― Pfunkboy Formerly Known As... (Herman G. Neuname), Sunday, 2 November 2008 15:51 (fifteen years ago) link
it's the album I listen to most these (not so future) days
But it isn't, it's probably the single most celebrated album in their catalogue! I've been saying here for years that it's overrated and I think about three people have agreed with me in as many years!

It is? Over Monster Movie and Tago Mago?
I must have missed that conference.
― Mark G, Monday, 3 November 2008 12:36 (fifteen years ago) link
I don't know what won the poll here, it might even have been "Ege Bamyasi", but "Future Days" tends to have the most rhapsodic bollocks written about it
