I am not entirely sure whether Turbo Island’s new Krautrocks! T shirt is cool or cheesy? Or maybe a lateral reference to Julian Cope’s combined passions of Megalithic Stones Circles and music from Germany?
It does, however, provide us with an opportunity to laud this amazing Kosmiche musik with a cheeky T shirt inspired playlist.
Amon DÜÜl II - Archangel Thunderbird
Popol Vuh - Aguirre 1, 2 & 3
Can - Halleluwah
Faust - Krautrock
Harmonia - Sehr Kosmich
Cluster - Hollywood
Ash Ra Tempel - Amboss
Kraftwerk - RuckZack
Tangerine Dream - Journey Through a Burning Brain
La Dusseldorf - La DÜsseldorf
NEU! - Lisa Engel
Embryo - A Place to Go
And if that doesn’t finish you off (after all nothing much under 10 minutes per mind expanding track!) then maybe explore arch digger Cherrystone’s list of the best KrautRock records in his mind… It’s a little bit different to the perceived wisdom but great nonetheless, although it’s hard to forgive him for omitting Walter Wegmuller’s epic Tarot which naturally came complete with its own specially designed set of cards.
