I don't agree with all of Julian Cope's opinions in Krautrocksampler (and am thoroughly perplexed by his shocking disdain for Future Days & Dance Of The Lemmings) but have to nod in agreement at his comment that La Düsseldorf's third is like an "irresistible, Bavarian knees up". Chanting,...

Although 1979 is not considered a great year for Krautrock there are a few gems to discover including this LP, from an apparently shy band encouraged by the esteemed Conny Plank to put down their sound on hot wax. Apparently a member of Ashra was involved in this and some of the equipment was...

I love bands with alter-egos and am thrilled to live in a world that can produce both the Dukes Of Stratosphere and Dove The Band Of Love. Although this music is credited to Nova, it's actually the work of Peru, whose Constellations LP, I bigged-up (as da kidz say) on a previous posting. It's not...

My previous video for Daniel Arfib got me thinking of other amazing hybrid albums from the early 80s, including this treasure from Von Zamla. No Make Up is a firm, friendly handshake between Zeuhl & RIO from the Samla Mammas Manna set with a little help from the Univers Zero mob - this piece is...

This video was made to honour the request of a loyal subscriber who bemoaned the lack of new Can videos these past few months. Although 'Rite Time' is the only studio album yet to be given a DIY video, I decided to share my offering for the flipside to the 'Don't Say No' single. 'Return' is...

In 1968 Valerie Solanas, a radical feminist and sometime playwright, attempted to assassinate artist Andy Warhol - accusing him of stealing her ideas and manipulating the freaks & eccentrics who hung around 'the factory'. Solanas served a short prison sentence and her SCUM manifesto (allegedly an...

Phaedra and Rubycon are two cornerstones in my Krautrock collection, but for some reason it took me a long time to check out the chilling majesty of Tangerine Dream's Atem. Unfairly nicknamed 'Nectarine Nightmare' by a long lost mad mate of mine, this holds its own with that fine crop of 1973...
