Progressive talk


I'm into the german krautrock and some people call it german progressive rock. Is there any difference or these are just two common things.
Any input from progressive and krautrock addicts is appreciated.

...hmmm... that reminds me the discussion "Rap in high-end speakers".

Nice recipie, Will. Here is mine:

"Rock" sauerkraut best with straight vodka and a pickle and listen to Jonny Cash or Creedence.

Yes and Pink Floyd is a folk music and we all know about it. It's been popularized pretty fast and everyone knows them.

I realy want to find an A-Gon member that knows Can, Faust, Cluster for a temporary record exchange and/or burning onto CDs or cassettes.
I like those german synthesizer bands from the 70's when they were really interesting and unique. I'm guessing that by progressive rock though, you mean groups like amon duul/can/nektar/lucifers friend/and so forth.
I have the vinyl imports for most of that stuff of the above groups and find them a notch below the english bands but certainly better than the american groups that fit the same bill. Most of those albums glory days were say 69-75 and then the progressive groups all seem to have bandmembers leaving frequently and everything suffering as a consequence. If you don't have those early can or amon duul albums, prepare to spend some $$ to acquire them.
Not many people in the united states are familiar with any of these groups since they didn't tour here or have major labels with a publicity machine behind them. But that doesn't mean they aren't any good, you just have to go to it, as opposed to letting music come to you.

Yes, I'm there artprint:
Can, Faust, Amon Dull, Cluster...
Send me a list if you want to sell some.
Are you from NY? That's basically the place where the progressive rock comes first into US before it gets to Colorado for example.
As far as German Prog goes Eloy-Ocean,Dawn, and Live and Grobschnitt-Solar Music Live and their 1st self titled are not to be missed as well as others by these Bands.All are now remastered.Krautrock to me is straight forward rock and roll with their Prog Bands on another level.The founding Fathers of Electronic and Space Music and not as commercial as Pink Floyd from Dark Side on.Prog Rock is still going strong all over the world with Internet Radio and many sites to buy from.Fans of Floyd,Yes,ELP,Tull,Early Genesis,King Crimson etc.{The Pioneers of Prog]will find they are just Scratching the Surface of Progressive Rock !
