KRAUTROCK POLL

[...]

Sorry @Benny B I was just teasing

 

[Benny Bunter]

No offence taken, I was being sincere!

 

[Benny Bunter]

i listened to neu a couple of nights ago. they always remind me of joy division

Definitely a resemblance in stuff like this

 

[Corpsey]

I do feel sad when I see the popular threads on here are about krautrock and frank zappa buuuuuut

OTOH I've started re-reading bits of Revolution in the Head so maybe I'm entering MOJO Middle age too

On the subject of Krautrock I voted in pure ignorance for Kraftwerk, Cluster and CAN. I've not really heard most of the others and I've barely heard any of the ones I voted for! Probably should rectify. Will need to start smoking weed again.

You don’t need weed to enhance

I used to be disgusted by sushi, then tempura prawn turned into a smile

 

[Corpsey]

Fair point but it's a shortcut

Like mushrooms are a shortcut for people who can't be arsed to meditate (i assume)

matt woebot. I still prefer the sunset of craner's previous av, it was perfectly Balearic/yacht rock.

[Corpsey]

"bearing" is the killer word there

I've been eating so much sushi lately and also poke too, I am gonna turn into a raw salmon at this rate.

A shortcut to sounding posh (should you ever need to) is knowing that the plural of "pheasant" is "pheasant".

Four albums of previously unreleased material from Hans-Joachim Roedelius of Cluster/Kluster and Harmonia fame, recorded between 1968 -1980 to 2-track Revox tape, now packaged in this weighty limited edition box set to celebrate his 90th birthday.

"Most of the music on 90 comes from the 2-track Revox tapes (1968 – 80). Working with his Echolette tape delay and Farfisa organ—the equipment on which Achim recorded his beloved Selbstportrait records and much of the seminal work with Dieter Moebius and Michael Rother—the Revox tapes document the processes and sounds that continue to inspire generations of music lovers and sonic adventurers.

90 is in no way intended as the exhaustive retrospective of the oeuvre of an important artist. The actual chronology of these pieces, and in some cases who might have collaborated with Achim on them, remain a mystery. But the historical context of this music is undeniably compelling—it doesn’t feel like hyperbole to suggest that these cascading, hypnotic cycles equal the best of contemporaries like Terry Riley, working half a world away on their own minimal masterpieces.

For now, a celebration is sufficient—the portrait of an extraordinary life at 90, narrated in beautiful, intimate, innovative music."

 

[Corpsey]

Only 5 tracks in, some beautiful stuff so far though

 

[version]

I'm amazed you've actually listened to this.

 

[Corpsey]

Believe me I didn't want to, it's 3 hours long and the tracks are all called TB6453 21 5242

But i've stuck it on and it's a pleasant ambience for a sunny winter's day like this
