Fascination Krautrock ..... Here Is Why!

[@markusberzborn6346]

I think what makes this period and style of German "rock" (in the broadest sense of the term) so interesting and fascinating up to this day is the open-minded spirit and attitude of freedom, individuality and joy of experimentation these groups had.

[@Michael45RPM]

Exactly!

[@rongreen1538]

Thank you for taking the time to show us these fabulous records, much appreciated.

[@cosmicdrifter287]

And great soundbites idea!

[@psgp298]

the Krautrock stuff you talk about are EASILY your best videos.

[@larsnegendahl5184]

Yes, great video and very interesting. Thank you, Michael. 👍

[@Nina_20xx]

Great video. Very interesting. Thank you, Michael. 👍

[@Grooverski]

Luv samples integration in this presentation Michael.

[@Daniel-hk3ru]

So enjoyed learned details about the Krautrock records you chose to discuss. Must compliment you on the video/audio production quality. Thank you, Michael !

[@onsenkuma-l2p]

Fantastic Michael. While I've always been into the more 'kosmische' end of the krautrock spectrum since the mid-'70s, I've found that there is so much more to appreciate and to learn. You've brought your usual enthusiasm for music to this fascinating genre. I note that My Solid Ground has been re-released on vinyl, so I will definitely check it out. BTW I still have a 'zebra' inner sleeve from a Kin Ping Meh album I had in '75!

[@northcarolinavinylpicker]

Fantastic new show on your channel. I hope Michael you do a part 2. Opening my ears to new krautrock. Thank you art

[@thebuxtstopshere]

Amazing Journey- - this music is sacred to me too. Thx and Happy New Yer!

[@thebuxtstopshere]

I have one or 2 odd Planck productions here. He was a pioneer with amazing quirks. Your personal dive into Kraut on this was and is a lovely way to get folks to enter what actually is a very wide genre and so fascinating as one Post WW2.

[@SaschaAlmoneit]

Wonderful video, I immediately picked out the two records I own and will listen to them this evening…👍🏻

[@saint6563]

None are my preferred style. However really appreciate the sound clips. Your expectations are always great; hearing cuts takes it up another notch.

[@fairmania]

Your passion for Krautrock almost trips you up, as you try to convey exactly how much it means to you and why we should be listening to it more. A beautiful review, and the examples played came across so well here too, thank you.

[@Ryan.Anderson]

Hi Michael, yes I am still alive and watching your video! Cheers!!

[@Michael45RPM]

😂 good to know 💪

[@Metal-Heaven-Records]

Die Ausschnitte von Platten finde Ich echt Mega! Guter Job 👍

[@NicoMalcolm]

Achim Reichel started out in the 60's beat rock band The Rattles, then went on to Wonderland for one album before his incredible records with A. R. & Machines. Excellent selection of krautrock records!

[@oliviergeoffroy9823]

As usual very interesting im very fond of krautrock especialy mickael rother work with of course neu! but harmonia with serr kosmich and popol vuh florian fricke was famous in germany for his work with Werner Herzog german music is soo good ...thanx for posting :-)

[@Becky-1970]

Krautrock für die Welt 👍🏻 sehr gute Anregungen Danke

[@Michael45RPM]

Gern geschehen 😊

[@lamaludwig1470]

Gerne mehr davon, tolle Auswahl!

[@7BobbyGaylor7]

Hey Michael. Great video! Thanks for playing and showing this genre. I own a good amount of it... but I'm always on the lookout for more. Just ordered "My Solid Ground". Cheers

[@Ichsehdich-p2v]

Ein Bruder hat diese Musik Anfang der 70er aus dem Ruhrpott mit gebracht. Hatte so was noch nie gehört über Radio etc. Hängen geblieben bin ich bei Jane, New Triumvirat, GurGuru etc. So vieles Live erlebt, unbeschreiblich.

[@zettman7733]

Hey Michael, danke für diesen kleinen Querschnitt durch das Thema! Übrigens steht Dir diese Brille besonders gut und auch etwas zum Genre finde ich.

[@01010100001010101001]

I like this video format

[@markorchard2272]

New glasses?? Wunderschön!!

[@Michael45RPM]

😊 danke

[@markorchard2272]

@@Michael45RPM iroically, for this episode, they look less germanic than your thick, black glasses!!!😜 but still good!!

[@jonlevinson3000]

That was infotaining 😊 Most recent K-Rock find is Heldon IV. Seems I have a local competitor who beat me to the Can records last BF but I did get that one.

[@seamuscolgan7654]

Great selection ✌🏼

[@inonothing09]

My life's a little richer ... many thanks.

[@deanjgn666666]

Would love if u could have included the band brainticket in ur list. Have a nice day mate.

[@grahamallen9393]

Frumpy are a Hammond heavy dream . What a band 🙏

[@heavybliss]

Great selections. My Solid Ground and Frumpy are also in my top Krautrock bands. Peace.

[@mrvn2381]

sehr cooles Video. Toll, dass es mir hier auf YT empfohlen wurde. Ich fange gerade mit meiner Hifi-Vinyl-Sammel-Reise an und bin auch sehr an Krautrock interessiert :) Freue mich da auf zukünftige Videos! Bis jetzt habe ich noch Levitation Sessions von Goat und Behold & See von Ultimate Spinach in meiner Vinyl-Sammlung, welche zu dem Genre passen könnten.

[@Ichsehdich-p2v]

Best End of Krautrock, is Klaus Nomi. Great Vinyl's. He and many other Greats make the NDW (Neue deutsche Welle).

[@vinylkajo]

Here some records you might consider: Analogy / Paternoster / Necronomicon / Da Capo / Kaputter Hamster etc

[@Michael45RPM]

Oh Yes ... already in the list!! But soooo hard to find

[@michaelschön-d7r]

[@andrzej_dacko]

Michael, what was the record that was played at the beginning of the video "OBC - Wall Of Records: 2025 Here We Come!", which you described as a Krautrock record? Great presentation of not so obvious and well known Krautrock records. Thank you!

[@33-einDrittel]

It’s becoming quite noticeable that you have a particularly close relationship with Krautrock. 😉 Langsam fällt es schon a bisserl auf Michael! 😁 Always great to be able to hear sound bits of the albums, thanks for that. Greetings from Vienna, George 👍

[@Michael45RPM]

😂😂💪

[@Ichsehdich-p2v]

Krautrock muss man zu der Zeit erlebt haben. Unbeschreibliche Erlebnisse was Musik kann.

[@djsocki]

Hi Michael, again and again really nice stuff - I like it 👍 Ashra Tempel has one member who was very famous, more than Manuel G. and it was Klaus Schulze. 😄 👍 Gruß DJSocki

[@karlvre8790]

Great stuff. Some really wonderful music. Not a huge fan of the female version of Joe Cocker's A little Help From My Friends (Sounded a lot like that to my ears :) ) But loved the rest. Great Video!

[@berndwolfram451]

Holt euch die grobschnitt Solar Music live ....geil....

[@BrunoP-xo4yw]

Love Kruatrock, I have original vinyl of Achim Reichel AR3, My Sold Ground = $, and Frumpy All Will Be Changed great stuff. Love Japanese Rock too ie Speed Glue Shinki or Magical Power Mako check them out.

[@michaelschön-d7r]

hello, by Japanese Rock Far out - same and Strawberry Path - When The Raven Has Come To The Earth, Flower Travellin' Band - Anywhere are also good lps, greetings from Bremen

[@hanselmerson3366]

Hello. Ash Ra Temple was my first album bought at Woolfies in Stockholm which started this for me. Buy the book by Ulrich Klatte Cosmic Price Guide if you like this style.....

[@70er-progMusik]

Bei meiner Frumpy ist das Cover ( Plastik) leider schon zerbröselt…..ja der Zahn der Zeit 🥹

[@Michael45RPM]

😮

[@Pflege_Fall1971]

Moin Michael, an die AR3 kommt man inzwischen auch nicht mehr so gut ran, doch das kennen wir ja in der Fangemeinde. Die A.R. & Machines (Achim Reichel): 71/17 Another Green Journey: Live At Elbphilharmonie Hamburg , war ja schon mal eine super Sache für uns Fans. Für den "Kleinen Mann" wäre mal ein AR Böxli fein, Inhalt: AR3, AR4(IV), Echo und Die grüne Reise. Wenn man Prog-, Psych-, Jazz-, und Krautrock mag, wird es für den Hörer/Sammler zwangsweise zur Jagd, denn wie wir wissen werden die OG´s nicht mehr. Oder man gibt sich wie ich, häufig mit der RE zufrieden, dann geht man wenigstens nicht leer aus. Gruß Patrick

[@audiophile_1970]

Also a huge fan of this genre👍passionate collecting OG's. Krautrock: the rebirth of germany✌😊

[@pinkrudy]

I really like krautrock. I have about 15 records. But its not in my top 5 genres. My problem is the muscianship and the vocals. Its very rare to find jimi hendrix level guitarists in krautrock. also hearing them sing in english with a heavy accent is a bit of a turn off for me. I wish they would sing in german a lot of the times. I would prefer it.

[@Michael45RPM]

Some good points. I will adress those in my next kraut video

[@Ichsehdich-p2v]

It is not blusie, it is other.
