Progressive talk

Yeah, just picked up the 1st Neu (w/Hallo Gallo), it's a beutifully crude buzz. Another great one (and sonically a little jucier) w/ the same guitarist (Rother) would be Harmonia-Deluxe. It's really kind of a Cluster record w/lazy lysergic guitar and some drums from Mani (Guru Guru). If you haven't checked out Cluster, Grosses Wasser is a pretty fun place to start. Anybody know if Kraan is really coming to the states this summer?

Davej857 is an extremely well informed consumer of German psycho active riffage and rightly states that labels and categories are trivial. The Crack in the Cosmic Egg book is a useful (but flawed) map if you want to check out some of the great warped rock that Germans pumped out from the mid sixties to the early 90's. Artprint's opinion of Damo Suzuki prevents him from absorbing Can's best work. Without Future Days, Ege Bamyasi, Tago Mago, or Soundtracks the Can experience would be much smaller.
PS- Get the Kollektiv stuff (not the red one) if you can find it.
