Oh wow, i had to check and yup, i remembered them from when they had the tiff with Moondog. Wow, isn't it odd what comes to mind when you thnk of an old band... well one you haven't listened to in decades.
in my case it came up in my car shuffle playlist (which currently includes about 3500 songs of all genres known to me). I know them via dEUS, where their singer used to play bass.
but yeah, definitely!
(oh and for those wondering: they used to be called Moondog Jr., – and that brought them some trouble with, well, Moondog.)

(BTW, the whole Minimum Maximum DVD & album is absolute genius)
was lucky to see them live – twice

The krautrock is just incredible, for example this song may literally be the soundtrack to an 80's arcade game, but it was released in 1975. The Germans of the 60/70s were ahead of their time.
Paul Barker's Lead Into Gold side project released an album a while ago. It's very old-school and his style which if you like it is aces!
I still listen to and really love the first album and this track is never far from my mind even decades later.
Some of my old favorites... that i still listen to.
I could fill posts and posts with tracks from this era and related labels.
... and the amazing "Phenobarb Bambalam" album by Chris connelly.
Such a diversion from his usual Devotion projects.

oh yeah, Krautrock was so far ahead, its nuts. It was such a revelation when I first listened to the likes of Can, Neu! and of course Kraftwerk (who even before they did electronic music made some massively interesting stuff), in the early 2000s.

anyway, here's some RUSH
one of those songs I can listen to several times in a row
Claudio Rocchi was one of Italy's most gifted singers and musicians of the last century, but sadly he's almost unbelievably unknown. This 18-minute song was recorded when he was just 20 years old. The part from the 15th minute on is simply amazing.
