Krautrock Vinyl Collection Update 2017

[@stevendarr9451]

Excellent video and records. I too collect Krautrock records and have sincerely the late 79's when my ears were opened up to what was happening overseas. Ive been grabbing the various reissues myself over the past couple years and for the most part the reissued releases are of the highest quality. Just played Ralf Nowys Lucifers Drean last night for the first spin! Incredible! Recommended eclectic covering various styles but overall worth hearing! Wah-Wah 2016 reissue

[@AudiophileLaws]

Thanks for watching, Steven. The Wah Wah reissues are highest quality indeed. Armien

[@diggininthecr8]

Schön wieder was von dir zu sehen und schöne Platten! 😊 LG Diana

[@AudiophileLaws]

danke für's reinschauen, Diana! Wir hören uns! Armien

[@GregMadeaVideo]

Wow! Amazing stuff in great condition. I'm still hoping to find these at Goodwill. Ha! Thanks for sharing.

[@AudiophileLaws]

thanks for tuning in, Greg!

[@kenmotley5316]

I'm so glad you came back! You truly are my favorite.........I wish you nothing but the best in 2017!!!!

[@AudiophileLaws]

Thanks for the kind words my friend! All the best for you, too!

[@FlipSideCT]

Now Armien, you realize watching this video is costing me.....excellent update and gave me some insight to something I know little of. Very interesting bands....I gave a listen. I have a hard time with the electronic Kraftwerk, just to synth for me.... liked Krishna until all the talking.....I listened to Guru Guru.....I really have to say........dont take this wrong, but This sounded like me jamming with a band with no structure back in the 80's. It reminds me of a Free Rock instead of Free Jazz......the one that stood out for me was Ashra......and you said it, the vinyl better be clean......Great video. thanks.

[@AudiophileLaws]

Thanks for watching! Yes, I can imagine. The Krishna is a hard listen specially with the weird german vocals. All the best :) Armien

[@Campo007]

Some killer pressings there mate. Well done. You're right, i think the right mix of OG's and reissues is the way to go with Krautrock. It's an expensive rabbit hole to go down none the less.

[@AudiophileLaws]

Thanks for watching, mate!

[@paulmessis1985]

I usually can't handle these kinds of videos.... but yours is great, you have great all round tastes and you're pretty informative and not arrogant at all... keep up the work!!

[@majortom66]

Organisation und die ersten Kraftwerk! Feine Sache! Ich stehe auch total auf NEU! und Cluster! Krautrock ist fantastisch für Plattensammler. Brain und Ohr sind oder waren tolle Labels. Viel Spass beim suchen und sammeln!

[@AudiophileLaws]

Danke für's reinschauen. Es gibt in der Tat viele tolle Label: Brain, Pilz, Ohr, Kosmische Kuriere, BASF, Bacillus, Sky, MPS, Zebra, Kuckkuck usw.

[@HiViNywschannel]

Hi Brother Armien!!!! Glad to see you again!!!🖐😄🖑 Still so infectious your happiness!!! Keep them up and coming... love you bro!!! Best regards, ian🤗

[@AudiophileLaws]

Hello Ian my friend! Good to hear from you :)) Thanks for watching and all the best for you and your wife! Armien

[@lukerogers151]

Happy new year, my friend. Great collection update :)

[@AudiophileLaws]

thanks man and happy new year to you, too!

[@PopeTheRevXXVIII]

Welcome back I do need some Kraftwerk in my collection. Lately I've been focused on Jazz and Hip Hop. But Kraftwerk has been sampled in early hip hop so..... and some of those Tour De France remixes......... wonderful stuff.

[@AudiophileLaws]

Oh yes man! Kraftwerk was sampled thousands of times. There are some cool videos about sampling them on youtube. Tour de France is such a good album, too.! Thanks for watching :)

[@PopeTheRevXXVIII]

Kraftwerk's influence is very understated in modern music. But they influenced EVERYONE and multiple genres too. From Afrika Bambaata to New Order to Nine Inch Nails.

[@AudiophileLaws]

that's totally true!

[@PopeTheRevXXVIII]

AudiophileLaws If you watch the Crate diggers series on You Tube they come up quite a bit in DJ's collections as well.

[@ElCrab]

Glad to see you back. Great stuff, too. I got a reissue of that Can album, it's very good.

[@AudiophileLaws]

Thanks for watching. Can is some essential stuff indeed.

[@ElCrab]

AudiophileLaws: you're welcome. Your channel is great, love your enthusiasm, you always find great stuff, and it cracks me up hearing you say some of those album and band names in English. You must have a good job, because you buy such good stuff and so much of it! Right after I watched, I listened to that Guru Guru song. Before it was even over, I put in an order for the reissued album. By the way, the title is probably said as three letters, U, F, and O, the abbreviated Unidentified Flying Object. Cheers!

[@AudiophileLaws]

Man sounds great! Also check out Kanguru by Guru Guru. Has a crazy long drum solo!

[@cliffordhodge1449]

Thank you for all this information. I was not aware of the Neu box set, and other albums you presented.

[@spinningreek2247]

Amazing pickups for the krautrock collection my man. Unbelievevable OG pressings and solid tunes all around. Happy New Year

[@AudiophileLaws]

happy new year to you too! thanks for watching my friend!

[@LittleLion93]

Just listened a bit of Birth Control thanks to you! I really like it! Always discovering new music thanks to you! :D The covers of their albums are also amazing!

[@AudiophileLaws]

thanks for watching man! glad you like Birth Control!

[@Johnsrocknvinyl77]

Happy New Year and Welcome back!!! Absolutely fantastic finds. Love this psychedelic German Rock can't get enough of it. Operation by Birth Control is a classic to me love the grinding Organ Sounds. One of my favorite heavy organ one's is Night Sun Mournin'. Can't get enough of it anyway. Great pickups on the Eloy stuff as well and really dig that first Guru Guru. I'm gonna look into that pre- Kraftwerk record sounds interesting. -john

[@AudiophileLaws]

Oh yeah! Night Sun is fantastic as well! I tried to get it once but the condition wasn't that good. If you like the grinding Organ listen to: Frumpy - How the gypsy was born. Thanks for watching :)

[@blinddave79]

Oh, and thanks so much for the Can - Ege Bamyasi recommendation. Fantastic album I had not heard of before. I already ordered a re-issue on Amazon.

[@Blackshoveldeathgrip]

Another great video ! Thanks for showing some killer records!

[@AudiophileLaws]

thanks for watching :)

[@norberthaftekmusic]

Thanks for the Limbus 4 introduction - man, i love that kind of "music" - I going to buy it, cause it is really cheap!

[@saschaheusingfeld7239]

Great records and a great new look Armien !

[@AudiophileLaws]

Danke mein Freund! Freue mich schon auf dein nächstes Video :)

[@richardadriver]

Happy 2017 Armien, thanks for sharing the great collection. Look forward to more in coming months. BTW, what's with the face fungus?

[@AudiophileLaws]

Thanks for watching Richard and happy new year to you, too!

[@TheStrongBoyz19]

I see that beard and mustache growin' XD Glad your back with us buddy! And that Leonard Cohen record behind you is a folk classic haha

[@AudiophileLaws]

Thanks for tuning in man! Oh yes that Leonard Cohen is a classic

[@mordantfilms]

Amazing collection! You mentioned that krautrock didn't make it so much out of Europe or even Germany. I've always read that krautrock was more popular outside of Germany. It definitely got a following in the States and I know in Belgium, Holland and England there was a bit of a following. I've lived in Germany for ten years and you're the first German I've heard with a considerable amount of knowledge about krautrock. I guess I don't go out so much, but I am aware that krautrock is a cult genre here in Germany. I wish I could run into more folks that know at least as much as I do about it. At any rate, keep up the great collecting!

[@hippydjkit9913]

amazing show!!! i also love trippy mind expanding krautrock i have half of the albums you showed and i also love frumpy. hippy new year!!!

[@kosmicnoiserecords]

Great video and lots of fantastic stuff in there! Especially for the Frumpy stuff you’re so right - they are awesome! It’s a shame I only discovered this great band recently. BTW, I can highly recommend the solo stuff of their drummer Carsten Bohn: CB’s Bandstand (if you’re a bit into fusion music). Maybe you know his music already if you listened to his Hörspielmusik from the Europa label when you were a child???

[@AudiophileLaws]

Man that's so cool to hear! I listened to a ton of Europa Hörspiele. I always wondered about the cool music... I will definitely check out his solo stuff! Thanks for the recommendation

[@DownUnderVinyl]

Happy New Year my friend. Have an amazing 2017. Really need to get some Krautrock in my collection. Have none at all!

[@mikejordan5121]

What is the background music for this video? Sounds fantastic, like Link Wray in outer space!

[@AudiophileLaws]

It's music taken out of the free youtube audio library. Space Coast by Topher Mohr and Far The Days Come by Letter Box

[@ColinTonkasdad]

your like the invisible man !! lol... great reviews i will do some searching to get a listen on a few bands.. great to see you well ... cheers from scotland

[@AudiophileLaws]

Thanks for watching, Colin :)

[@ButteryDigs]

Good to see you, I may have missed you saying it but what is playing in the background?

[@AudiophileLaws]

Thanks for watching buddy! The music is taken out of the free youtube audio library. Space Coast by Topher Mohr and Far The Days Come by Letter Box.

[@jcbrooklyn4800]

HI. i enjoy your video. did your ever see any original tomorrow gift? i love the band..

[@AudiophileLaws]

Yes, I once saw an original copy at a record fair. It was around 800 Euro. It's a super cool album and I would definitely like to get the reissue on Long Hair.

[@ghost2031]

Nice Collection man, Happy New Year.

[@AudiophileLaws]

Happy New Year, thanks!

[@metgumbnerbone1]

Hi this is a very cool video. Some of my favorite krautrock: German Oak, Walter Wegmuller, Dom, Siloh, Zippo Zetterlinch (I hope I spelled that right), Ash Ra Tempel, Cosmic Jokers...so much great stuff

[@MrLovell1971]

Armien wow man awesome Kraftwerk 1 I never able to find i did luck up and found Kraftwerk 2 original German press I've been hooked on the German music of the 70s . Man those Neu records look great in would luv to find the first Neu German press on brain luv the sound quality is have the first on billings gate U.S. this is definitely a killer update Armien . lovellandrew

[@AudiophileLaws]

Thanks for watching, Lovell! So cool to hear that you found Kraftwerk 2. It's so hard to find, even here in Germany. All the best for 2017. Happy collecting :) Armien

[@MetalTheologian]

All killer, no filler! Great finds, and it's really nice to see some bands that are less appreciated, like Niagara, Ton Steine Scherben, and Floh de Cologne. That Bernd Witthüser record is awesome--and it has one of the greatest album titles of all time, hahaha! Regarding Kraftwerk, back when I still had CDs, I sought out the German versions of all their albums, so I've compared them.... while I do prefer the German, it doesn't often make a whole lot of difference, although once in a while, it's really noticeable, like in 'Trans Europe Express', since there's one more syllable in "Europa" than in "Europe"! Hey, do you like Sparifankal? I think that's one of the most underrated records there is... they sound like the Bavarian Velvet Underground!

[@AudiophileLaws]

Thanks for letting me know about your Kraftwerk preference! I do know the group Sparifankal but never listened to any album yet. I will check them out! Armien

[@BioCYTE1]

Rock solid update as always Armien. Absolutely agree re the genre. Not my favorite but hugely enjoyable and expensive! Due to pricepoint, it forces us to really absorb what we have as opposed to buy them up like mad (although that would be nice too!). Agree entirely re unofficial releases. But, sometimes......ya just have to. Nice to see the Eloy lp's. Only missing three on vinyl, love them and hoping to add them and complete the collection this year. Happy New Year! - Lj

[@AudiophileLaws]

Thanks for watching and Happy New Year to you Lj!

[@guyfromsac1]

Great video, glad you're back! What was the song playing on the background in the next-to-last section (not the very end)?

[@AudiophileLaws]

Thanks for watching, Mike! The music is taken out of the free youtube audio library. Space Coast by Topher Mohr and Far The Days Come by Letter Box.

[@krisprojection2433]

Like your videos, Keep them coming. From Australia.

[@AudiophileLaws]

thanks man! All the best!

[@jcbrooklyn4800]

i have reissue come in the mail.. seller in Canada that i purchase month ago ...let hope get here before the end 2017 i going to keep my eyes open for the original!

[@AudiophileLaws]

sounds good man! I'll cross my fingers that you'll receive it soon.

[@jcbrooklyn4800]

AudiophileLaws let hope you sure come to USA.. still is some stuff around NYC not l'll like used to be

[@gsasfdf]

Do you have any Popol Vuh? I hope you find some of their records sometime.

[@joyfulcolouring7372]

Happy New year mate, great videos.

[@AudiophileLaws]

thanks for watching and happy new year :)

[@Martin_Skywatcher]

You seem to be getting a natural high on listening to Krautrock. Much better then smoking the stuff off course. :D

[@AudiophileLaws]

Couldn't agree more, Martin! All the best my friend :) Armien

[@Martin_Skywatcher]

Thanks Armien. I wish you a great 2017 !

[@kevinpatrickmacnutt]

That is a 1981 reissue of Ege Bamyasi. The original 1972 pressing was on United Artists.

[@thomasedward2231]

What deck is that? Wow! Can pressing is fantastic.

[@artemer2521]

Hello! Awesome video! Please, tell me, what music you use in this video?

[@merricful]

Hi! Please write down the names of the music playing behind the scenes in the video footage...

[@tcfulton3759]

Great video, what was your opening song in the video. HEAVY DRUMS! :)

[@ItayPazz]

Hi, great video! which pressing is the guru guru? thanks.

[@falcorn66]

hey man, what is the song playing in the background called? nice stuff

[@martijnvanloon9982]

Hello, do you have any records of Normaal?

[@AudiophileLaws]

not yet unfortunately

[@martijnvanloon9982]

AudiophileLaws a shame, best rock group of the netherlands haha. I'm nearby to complete my collection of records and 7". Btw very nice collection of records.

[@nickruepert838]

Happy new year i love your video

[@AudiophileLaws]

Thanks man and happy new year to you too, Nick!

[@pequenoguia]

Great video man! I heard some of this albuns you tell on video and i liked it all!! I'm from Brazil and here the Kraftwerk's albums was released in english. I got the German version by download and I think it is much better! I wish I could have all their albums in german on vinyl.

[@Shane-by2lh]

Wie Gehts! I just discovered your You Tube video channel today, and its great fun! Actually Kraftwerk are playing their Live 3D Show this weekend in Dublin Ireland. It is sold out and so instead I will try and meet Ralf Hutter before the Soundcheck to get an album autographed. Of course you need some luck for this! Ein Idea fur Deine nacheste Video play, Deine Vinyl collection mit autographs? Possible? All the best Shane

[@Kalprog]

Welcome back long time no see! Fantastic finds for you, were these found at record shows and shops or through the internet? I've had a hard time finding rare stuff like this in the states, most owners do not part with scarce titles like these. Happy New Year and thanks for coming back, look forward to future videos.

[@AudiophileLaws]

Finding rare stuff is always hard. It's a mixture of various record stores, record shows. Thanks for watching and happy new year to you, too.

[@nickruepert838]

Amazing stuff

[@AudiophileLaws]

thanks man!

[@kingdhansak]

Hello mate, great video as always - keep them coming! Please check out these two excellent German bands: My Solid Ground and Carol Of Harvest. Both only released one self titled album each. Very expensive originals, but have been officially reissued and can be found on Discogs.

[@blinddave79]

I wanted to take a minute to answer your question regarding Kraftwerk. I seem to have only US English copies, and am now sad. I need to get the German ones so I can hear them as they belong, in German.

[@11uffe180]

No amon Düül 2, i hoped to see some of their albums in your collection. They are awsome. But at least you had some eloy.

[@relayernj]

Great video as always Armien! I friended you on fb (I think). Greetings from America! Victor

[@AudiophileLaws]

thanks man!

[@p1rz666]

Hi :) Just ran into your channel... Nice albums you review there!... And yes it is not easier to get some albums even if you live in europe... I live in Denmark and have just discovered psych kraut space rock about a year ago, and it is an expensive hobby, but a really cool one! I have listened to some Kraftwerk, Spacelords, Electric Moon and Space Invaders... I am mostly into psychedelic space :) Do you have any suggestions on some bands that I should tjeck out? Please let me know :) ... The last year I have mostly listened to german bands, and boy did i open a present when I discovered them haha I have always loved Germany and as a child I went there weekly... Good food, good beer and good music... What's not to like? :) Thank you and take care! :)

[@LeChevalierDuFeu]

Die Can Platte kann nicht die Erstpressung sein, weil die Platte eine LC-Nummer hat. Der LabelCode ist erst Mitte der 70er eingeführt worden.

[@richardriley4415]

I don't have any records in that category yet. That looks like a new turntable behind you. Maybe we need a new equipment review ?

[@AudiophileLaws]

Thanks for watching Richard! No, it's still the "old" one but the room changed a bit :)

[@asdfwer1234]

Schön, daß du wieder da bist. Ab jetzt bitte wieder wöchentlich! Zu Kraftwerk: Ich lebe auch außerhalb Deutschlands (in der Oberpfalz) und ich höre hier Kraftwerk natürlich nur auf Deutsch. Das gehört sich halt einfach so. Ist ein ungeschriebenes Gesetz. Wie's die Franken machen (die gehören zu euch), weiß ich nicht. :D Nächstes Mal bitte ruhig wieder so lang, kein Problem damit. Ruhig wieder was mit Jazz oder normalem Rock, oder doch mal Klassik. Zu hast noch nicht viel gesagt zu deiner Solti-Edition/Sammlung.

[@AudiophileLaws]

Hey Ben, schön von dir zu hören und danke für's reinschauen. Kraftwerk auf Deutsch - so muss es sein :) Armien

[@asdfwer1234]

Ich hör mir grad übrigends Kraftwerks Tone Float an. Heavy Shit, kommt schon so irgendwie hin. Die erste Seite ist relativ gemütlich, die zweite mit Milk Rock geht erst richtig ab.

[@FranzenPetra]

Nice collection, i actually own a couple of these records myself : Eloy, Ashra, ... have a lot of Eloys - but german accent is allways somehat an issue. Novalis is also a fav. Of me - di you consider this krautrock ? But my abslute favorite german band is Anyone-s daughter, by far i might add - esspecially the german albums (In Blau, Neune sterne,..). Und zwar auf vinyl.

[@AudiophileLaws]

Oh yes, Novalis are a fantastic band. I do have some of their albums, too. Well... hard to say but I would say it's some sort of folky Krautrock. Thanks for watching :)

[@jamannutters7746]

I got the German pressing of human league dare it sounds great

[@lofi-guy]

I'm English but I prefer the Kraftwerk German version. Seems more authentic. That Ash RA New Age of Earth album is fab. I really need to get it on vinyl

[@AudiophileLaws]

good to know!

[@merricful]

Background music names please !

[@bigboxbobby2]

I am collecting original German vinyls of Krauftwerk when i can get them and re mastered CDs. They sound so much better in their original language. I live in the UK but have never been able to buy affordable original Kraftwerk Vinyls on my visits to Germany, so I bought them on Ebay. Now sadly also way too expensive due to horrible Brexit people forcing the British pound down against the Euro (better for you I guess!). Thanks for very interesting Video.

[@AudiophileLaws]

I can imagine that the stupid Brexit is bad for all vinyl collectors in the UK. That's sad to hear. Early Kraftwerk is so hard to get, no matter where you live. I still would love to find the double album on the Vertigo space ship label. Thanks for watching :)

[@funk2die]

As more as I see your Videos which Are great btw. I ask myself. How does all of you vinyl collectors can afford such a expensive hobby? Maybe you can make a video about this? Is it all about buying collections, taking the good ones and selling the doubles? Hmmmm...Hope to get some answers :-)

[@guitarnerd_luke]

Mit Krautrock als Genre kann ich irgendwie wenig anfangen. Aber die Ton-Steine-Scherben Box hätte ich ja schon gern. Ich kann mich nur nie durchringen Boxsets zu kaufen^^ da geht immer das ganze Platten-Budget von min.1 Monat auf einmal drauf =P

[@christophecharest-latif8614]

No love for Harmonia? Great vid!

[@blinddave79]

I just picked up the reissue of Musik Von Harmonia - great stuff!

[@SuperFloorfiller]

Wow Hammer Platten Die Kraftwerk 1 + 2 habe ich leider nur als Polnisches Bootleeg auf CD .Sind Leider nicht mehr zu bezahlen die Originale (kann man ein klein wenig Neidisch werden). Übrigens der Bart steht dir. Grüße aus der Frankfurter Gegend Klaus

[@AudiophileLaws]

Hi Klaus, danke für's reinschauen. Ich war ja letzte Woche kurz in Frankfurt und unter anderem in den Läden in Sachsenhausen. Dort kann man wirklich tolle Sachen finden. Nächstes mal versuche ich mir die Läden auf der anderen Main Seite anzusehen. Der Saturn an der Zeil ist von der Auswahl her auch schon mehr als beeindruckend. LG

[@RaymondWillsMusic]

How can I find your Facebook group?

[@AudiophileLaws]

It's just called: KZbin Vinyl Community :)

[@RaymondWillsMusic]

AudiophileLaws thank you)

[@TheStrongBoyz19]

I do love listening to Kraftwerk in English, but to listen to them in the German language is interesting since I've been listening to the English releases haha :P

[@dignitas550]

When u spent so much money on vinyl and cant afford a shaver now :^)

[@acemachine26]

I don't understand German but when listening to Kraftwerk I only listen to the original German version. It just sounds right. I do the same thing for albums by Italian prog band PFM. Some of their albums were translated to English but I don't like how that sounds so I stick with the original version.

[@AudiophileLaws]

thats good to know! thanks for watching :)

[@P0rn0ralle84]

krautrock war doch viel erfolgreicher in England, Japan oder USA deswegen waren die ja auch auf so internationalen Labels wie United Artist, polydor oder Vertigo etc. ☺ klar Ohr und so jetzt nich aber vieles die Bands waren in Deutschland eher unbekannt oder unerfolgreich

[@DassHogg]

Geil.
