I'm going to throw out some of my favorites Can - Tago Mago Amon Dull II - Yeti Faust - Faust Cluster - Cluster 71 Ash Ra Temple - Ash Ra Temple Brain Ticket - Celestial Ocean Guru Guru - Guru Guru Embryo - Steig Aus Tangerine Dream - Electronic Meditation Klaus Schulze - Irrlicht Neu! - Neu! 2 Asmus Tietchens- In Die Nacht Pyrolator- Inland Conrad Schnitzler- Con 3 Moebius, Plank, Neumeier - Zero Set Organization - Tone Float AR & Machines - Die Grune Reise Annexes Quam - Osmose Kollektiv - Kollektiv Popol Vuh - Affenstunde Kluster - Klopfzeichen Harmonia - Musik Von Harmonia Dzyan - Dzyan Dom - Edge of Time
Excellent choices. It's good to hear someone with an obvious passion for Krautrock. Not enough people know about this genre. Wish he'd said more about Neu 2...
Amon Düül Il - Yeti was my first Krautrock experience. I 'm still haunted by the eye shaking King. Especially when the vocals started. Also great, Die Grüne Reise by Achim Reichel and Electrolurch by Guru Guru.
Same. I remember I was at my brother in laws and I was hungry at the track, Aumgn. And all he had was bread and when I looked at it, it was all moldy!! Hahahha
I'll take Ege Bamyasi and Future Days over Tago Mago... particularly the final track on Future Days 'Bel Air' which is my absolute favourite Can track...
I bought Babaluma together with Future, and another one. It was long a tie between FD and SoB. I just got an SACD-player, and was loking for SACDs to play, that's how I discovered CAN. Thank you Sony and Spoon!
Interesting to hear his analogy on the genre. The names of the group besides two; I knew about. I discovered Kraftwerk back in Brooklyn 1978. Can, I discovered ten years later in Cologne,Germany. Living amidst the people. Going into their record collection. The Band is actually from Cologne,Germany.
CAN is my favorite band of all time. My favorite album is "Limited Edition", not to be confused with "Unlimited Edition". I was so intrigued by the cover art that I had to purchase the disc. This was my introduction to KRAUTROCK, and I'm a better person for it.
Yes. I find the cover/back side more Avant Garde. This U.K. limited edition of 15,000 pressings is a true rarity. BTW: Sides 1 & 2 of Unlimited Edition are Limited Edition in its entirety. DEUTSCHLAND UBER ALLES!!!
Thank you Mr. Miller, it's nice to finally put a face to Warm Leatherette and TVOD, songs I have been enjoying since they were originally released. I also have my top five Krautrock albums and they vary slightly: (1) Wolf City by Amon Duul II - yeah they have some other good releases, but Wolf City was so polished and refined! (2) Future Days by Can, again Ege Bamyasi has some great songs, but Future Days is just such a beautiful listen. (3) Mythos by Mythos, I've had the original Ohr release since back in the 70's, and it has such a great feel to it. (4) A Meditation Mass by Yatha Sidhra, just a superbly crafted album. (5) Neu by Neu, simply put Hallo Gallo may be the greatest Krautrock song ever recorded and on that alone ensures this release in in the top 5 of most Krautrock lists... cheers...
Went to Guildford Tech mid seventies. Was there a mate of mine turned me onto Can. He said: "Here's Tago Mago. Bit special. Give it a go. You may have to listen to it a few times". Well after 6 consecutive spins on the turntable I was hooked. :-)
Wow an enigmatic Woolworts store .... (This is an equivalent like seeing Krautrock album in Debenhams or Mark and Spencers; The shop selling policy manager would have been a person with a double life: during a work week a typical manager of the family store and during weekends a 'junky' music lover visiting underground clubs).
Still love the original Faust album, that was interesting about the returns, I had no idea about that. Yeah, the first Faust album still works wonders although So Far is great too.
Before "Autobahn", there was "Ruckzuck". It was played on every party in germany for at least 2 years, and even in the radio. I think Klaus Dinger was the motoric beat drummer. And then there was "Halleluwah" from Tago Mago, which was a must have in the early 1970s. Jaki Liebezeit at his best.
Impossible to choose 5, there are many. these come to my mind fast. aneexus Quam.- Osmose. Brave New World. Organisation. Gila..same. Ash Ra Tempel.. first. Embryo.- Rache. No Faust. Can, Krafwerk, Neu,Amon Dull. People always choose these groups. They're great, but there are more
5 highly narcotic ones: Can-Future Days, (first five are all fantastic) Guru Guru, Kanguru, (the S/T album with Electrolurch deserves mention too) Kollektiv, S/T (brain melting electric sax hallucinations) Kraan, Live 74' (as kick ass as Who Live At Leeds but w/ amazing LSD jazz chops) Holger Czukay, On The Way To The Peak Of Normal, (quivering wobbly low bass overlaid w/ intensely detailed tape layers)
I agree with all of them exept Amon Düül 2. And the thing I hear mainly through the first Faust album is Frank Zappa in the Grugahalle and not The Stones, Punkrock or something like that.
Monster Movie is hreat, but my fav by far is Soon over Babaluma (I?also love their live album, of course. Thr hybrid SACDs are unplayable now, glad to have made basckups in ogg or mp3.
El detalle es que para el sonido de The Normal en el 78 aplicaste la electrónica EDM (NRG & Synthpop) de Giorgio Moroder...no aplicaste el Krautrock Düsseldorf & Progressive Rock Alemán de Conny Plank (Kraftwerk), Neu y demás. Los Punks, Progressive, Krautrock's tomaron el EDM Concreto y la misma Música Electrónica Post Concreta, Moog, Experimental & Soundtrack de los 70s (Moroder, Jarre, Lacksman, Tangerine Dreams, YMO, Schulze, Vangelis, Faltermeyer, Tonet, Gizzi, Pinhas, Martín W. & Ian C...(solo por mencionar los más relevantes) para muchas de sus primeras producciones de Synthpop y "ebm".
Me too would like to know what makes him think Neu 2 is a milestone. Neu 2 has some good pieces but is a 50 % missed chance. They wasted the money they have got by playing chess and table soccer in the studio, to then hastily "compile" the second half of the LP, when they run out of money. To me the 1. Neu album is more relevant. Peter Kroll, Singapore
My favourite albums Can are musical best of cosmic music. 1.Can:Edge bamyasi 2.Future days 3.Faust:So far 4.Faust IV 5.Popol wuh Pharaoh garden. 6.Amon Düül: Phalluses day 7.Cluster,Harmonia. 8.Kraftwerk 9.Neu . 10 . Tangerine dream.Zeit.
El detalle es que para el sonido de The Normal en el 78 Daniel Miller aplica la electrónica EDM (NRG & Synthpop) de Giorgio Moroder...no aplica el Krautrock Düsseldorf & Progressive Rock Alemán de Kraftwerk, Neu, Clúster y demás.

La E. Berlín no se basa directamente del Krautrock Düsseldorf y E. Berlín (Tangerine Dreams & Schulze) se desarraiga temprano de muchas formas del Krautrock & Progressive Rock Alemán (lo que llaman "Cósmic") para experimentar más con la verdadera y pura Música Electrónica Post Concreta, Moog, Experimental & Soundtrack. Post 1977 E. Berlín entra en síntesis con el EDM de Moroder (NRG & Synthpop)...los trabajos de P. Bauman (Leda 1978) y las producciones post 1977 de este grupo son muy evidentes en EDM y la música electrónica relacionada.
Kraftwerk hace lo mismo en el 78 con el álbum The Man Machine que practicamente es un tributo al EDM Concreto (77) de Giorgio Moroder (Spacelab, Metrópolis, The Model...) 😅
Good choice, instead of Faust maybe Tangerine Dream, Popol Vuh, Embryo, Guru Guru, Kraan, Ashra Temple, Klaus Schulze etc etc. but the 4 others, no doubt!

Faust and Tago Mago are great picks but Phallus Dei and Neu! 2 are utterly perverse. Yeti and Dance of the Lemmings are light years in advance of Phallus Dei - no contest. Neu! 2 is an even more dumb pick - the first Neu! album has the track Hallogallo which is the supreme example of Krautrock at its finest - incredibly original, influential and entirely sublime. Hallogallo is in many ways what Kraftwerk were trying to achieve but never quite succeeded. My fifth pick would have Tangerine Dream's Zeit or Klaus Schulze's Irrlicht replacing Kraftwerk. Both albums lay legitimate claim to triggering the whole concept of 'ambient', way before others stole the idea.
Definitely Yeti over Phallus Dei. Definitely Neu! or Neu! '75 over Neu! 2. But basically, I can totally identify with what Miller says here. Can, as he says, is very spoilt for choice. Tago Mago is their best work; but who on Earth could rationally can pick out a standout Can album? That band, THE greatest, were the ultimate chameleons. My favorite Can release might be Flow Motion, which is such a wacky choice. By the way, my biggest cut-out moment (incidentally not at Wolworth's) was buying Talk Talk's Spirit of Eden, on cassette, a year after in 1989, for about $4.
Sand - Golem (1974) / Amon Duul II - Wolf City (1972) are two more people need to acknowledge that first one by Amon Duul is wayyyy too hippy dippy to be taken seriously don't waste your time you will barf pachoullie
Funny seeing an Englishman squirming around the term Krautrock in a kind of apologetic way....when it was Faust who coined the term. Faust being German of course.
Can future days for sure
Lots of hidden details in the music ,drumming is awesome
Can’s Future Days is my favorite album by them! A phenomenal album!
I'm going to throw out some of my favorites
Can - Tago Mago
Amon Dull II - Yeti
Faust - Faust
Cluster - Cluster 71
Ash Ra Temple - Ash Ra Temple
Brain Ticket - Celestial Ocean
Guru Guru - Guru Guru
Embryo - Steig Aus
Tangerine Dream - Electronic Meditation
Klaus Schulze - Irrlicht
Neu! - Neu! 2
Asmus Tietchens- In Die Nacht
Pyrolator- Inland
Conrad Schnitzler- Con 3
Moebius, Plank, Neumeier - Zero Set
Organization - Tone Float
AR & Machines - Die Grune Reise
Annexes Quam - Osmose
Kollektiv - Kollektiv
Popol Vuh - Affenstunde
Kluster - Klopfzeichen
Harmonia - Musik Von Harmonia
Dzyan - Dzyan
Dom - Edge of Time
nice sélection but - according to Discogs - Pyrolator (which I love) isn't krautrock, nor is Asmus Tietchens...
tryhard
For the browsers, it's Neu! 2, Kraftwerk Radioactivity, Faust (first album), CAN Tago Mago, Amon Duul II Phallus Dei.
nice selection.
Excellent choices.
It's good to hear someone with an obvious passion for Krautrock. Not enough people know about this genre.
Wish he'd said more about Neu 2...
Yet most people's favorite rock bands were heavily influenced by it! LOL! Ironic, no?
Have them all....my life growing up.Lived in the import section of any record store.
Amon Düül Il - Yeti was my first Krautrock experience. I 'm still haunted by the eye shaking King. Especially when the vocals started. Also great, Die Grüne Reise by Achim Reichel and Electrolurch by Guru Guru.
Amon Duul 2 were great. My fave LP by them will always be DANCE OF THE LEMMINGS
I think Tago Mago might just be the best album of all time period.
Can are so good. I love their music
Colum Nolan I love Tago Mago and Future days.
@@alexblock2248 Absolutely awesome albums. You are right on there 👍 One of my favourite tracks of all time is moonshake ✊
Listening Tago Mago on acid is the best (musical) experience I ever had.
Same. I remember I was at my brother in laws and I was hungry at the track, Aumgn. And all he had was bread and when I looked at it, it was all moldy!! Hahahha
The best album ever
Autobahn was pretty good on acid.
I'll take Ege Bamyasi and Future Days over Tago Mago... particularly the final track on Future Days 'Bel Air' which is my absolute favourite Can track...
I bought Babaluma together with Future, and another one. It was long a tie between FD and SoB. I just got an SACD-player, and was loking for SACDs to play, that's how I discovered CAN. Thank you Sony and Spoon!
Bel Air is also my favourite Can track!
äh yes my favourite has always been Monster Movie and it´s hard to choose as all of them are great
Tago Mago is a pretentious kraut-wankfest IMO
future days and ege bamyasi, on the other hand, are mindblowingly good
1st record of Tago Mago is perfect tho. Love for all 3 (TM, EB, FD)
Ash ra tempel self titled is another fantastic one!
Interesting to hear his analogy on the genre. The names of the group besides two; I knew about. I discovered Kraftwerk back in Brooklyn 1978. Can, I discovered ten years later in Cologne,Germany.

Isn’t unlimited edition objectively better as a collection
Yes, considering that it is a double album and specifically for the songs Connection & Fall Of Another Year.
@@dmk7700 thanks for the recs! I will check them out. Are you saying you like the limited edition album better, for the original presentation and art?
Yes. I find the cover/back side more Avant Garde. This U.K. limited edition of 15,000 pressings is a true rarity. BTW: Sides 1 & 2 of Unlimited Edition are Limited Edition in its entirety. DEUTSCHLAND UBER ALLES!!!

Good selection by Mr Miller.....similar to my top 5 which are
Neu!, Radioactivity, Ricochet, Tago Mago and Wolf City.
Radio Activity was my first krautrock album. Probably my favorite to this day, followed by Wolf City Amon Duul 2.
Thank you for sharing this
nobody asked, but 5. Neu! 4. Can - Future Days 3. Popul vuh - Aguirre 2. Faust So Far 1. Tangerine Dream - Zeit
good choice on T-Dream Zeit...??? It took me 40 Years to understand this Record...? Timeless in any way First ever Ambient Record ever made.....
don't forget Sand - Golem (1974)
very inspirational.it still hurts i didn"t buy the amon duul 2-yeti double vinyl re-issue when i found it a few months ago.now it"s gone.
Come on....not very hard to find....sounds great on the hard drive too.
Wow an enigmatic Woolworts store .... (This is an equivalent like seeing Krautrock album in Debenhams or Mark and Spencers; The shop selling policy manager would have been a person with a double life: during a work week a typical manager of the family store and during weekends a 'junky' music lover visiting underground clubs).
I'll say what everyone else is feeling. Wish he said more about Neu! 2 since its a bit of an oddball choice.
Mister Tago Mago the video appears to have been edited after he speaks about Neu! 2.
No one else is feeling that
Mute people, krautrock (esp Faust) - you got me, Roni Size New Forms as the "more from this channel" - subscribed, thank you.
thank you!
Still love the original Faust album, that was interesting about the returns, I had no idea about that.
Yeah, the first Faust album still works wonders although So Far is great too.

I love ruckzuck! I love their pre-dubstep musings
i would Chose the same Kraftwerk Album....love it
my picks would be - neu!, Harmonia - deluxe, la düsseldorf - debut or viva, tangerine dream - electronic meditation, michael rother - sterntaler.
Impossible to choose 5, there are many. these come to my mind fast. aneexus Quam.- Osmose. Brave New World. Organisation. Gila..same. Ash Ra Tempel.. first. Embryo.- Rache.
No Faust. Can, Krafwerk, Neu,Amon Dull. People always choose these groups. They're great, but there are more
5 highly narcotic ones:
Can-Future Days, (first five are all fantastic)
Guru Guru, Kanguru, (the S/T album with Electrolurch deserves mention too)
Kollektiv, S/T (brain melting electric sax hallucinations)
Kraan, Live 74' (as kick ass as Who Live At Leeds but w/ amazing LSD jazz chops)
Holger Czukay, On The Way To The Peak Of Normal, (quivering wobbly low bass overlaid w/ intensely detailed tape layers)
A very vissionary man, no doubt.
I agree with all of them exept Amon Düül 2. And the thing I hear mainly through the first Faust album is Frank Zappa in the Grugahalle and not The Stones, Punkrock or something like that.
Remarkable music
My 5 : Pergamon( Tadream), BBC Sessions (Faust), Gila ( Gila ),Osmose (Annexus Quam), Echo (Achim Reichel) ... not to forget Thirsty Moon, Kollectiv, 2066 & Then, Rache (Embryo) ...
He surly has great taste in music. I like Kraftwerk👍
Monster Movie is hreat, but my fav by far is Soon over Babaluma (I?also love their live album, of course. Thr hybrid SACDs are unplayable now, glad to have made basckups in ogg or mp3.
Finally, someone who likes “Soon Over Babaluma” & also “Landed”.
Faust is the best album ever made
Nice
I completely agree with Mr. Miller
El detalle es que para el sonido de The Normal en el 78 aplicaste la electrónica EDM (NRG & Synthpop) de Giorgio Moroder...no aplicaste el Krautrock Düsseldorf & Progressive Rock Alemán de Conny Plank (Kraftwerk), Neu y demás.

Where is Klaus Schulze and Tangerine Dream?
Very good choice of LPs but I would pick Yeti instead od Phallus Dei
Me too would like to know what makes him think Neu 2 is a milestone.
Neu 2 has some good pieces but is a 50 % missed chance. They wasted the money they have got by playing chess and table soccer in the studio, to then hastily "compile" the second half of the LP, when they run out of money. To me the 1. Neu album is more relevant.
Peter Kroll, Singapore
Indeed! Funny he didn't even elaborate on the choice. That album was definitely half remix cannibalism per budget constraints. Embarrassing vinyl...
side 1 of NEU 2 is absolutely stunning, where as side 2 is all faffing about, much to my annoyance .
Muy buen video (:
My favourite albums Can are musical best of cosmic music.
1.Can:Edge bamyasi
2.Future days
3.Faust:So far
4.Faust IV
5.Popol wuh Pharaoh garden.
6.Amon Düül: Phalluses day

Delanna H Deluxe is a superior album.
oh yes....love listening to Deluxe while driving!!
Tago Mago for the win...
actually, there was a difference b'tween Amon Düül and Amon Düül II.
Ya, the first were more of the commune people and they didn't care much about production values or even marketing.
Yeah, 2 could play their instruments!
Jeff Boerst Or music.
Cluster is all
Use Polly Pocket record sleeves 👍🏻😉

No Cluster??
no cluster!
Was just about to mention the absence of Cluster
Cluster, Atlantis and Frumpy
The Normal man with a very normal Lacoste t shirt
Tangerine Dream - Ricochet
daniel miller and moby are friends
is it pronounced noy? I always just thought it was pronounced new. far from the first time I been mispronouncing a band name for years.
+newwavepop he went through the trouble of pronouncing it right only to pronounce kraftwerk wrong, i dont get it
Neu means new in German
I think "Yeti" is much better, they were still developing at the start, by the time they did "Yeti" they were firing on all cylinders
Amon Duul II Yeti, Ashra Temple Ashra Temple,
Agree with all of them except Phallus Die, which sounds ordinary to me.
Faust and Tago Mago are great picks but Phallus Dei and Neu! 2 are utterly perverse. Yeti and Dance of the Lemmings are light years in advance of Phallus Dei - no contest. Neu! 2 is an even more dumb pick - the first Neu! album has the track Hallogallo which is the supreme example of Krautrock at its finest - incredibly original, influential and entirely sublime.

Both albums lay legitimate claim to triggering the whole concept of 'ambient', way before others stole the idea.
Oh dear! Forgot the first Ash Ra Tempel album. Make it a top six.
everything you said made no sense when you failed to acknowledge that Phallus Dei is best album of all time
imho Neu! 2 is worth it for one big track Fur Immer, which is kind of Hallogallo on steroids. Neu 75 is great too!
Mr Silicon Teens
Definitely Yeti over Phallus Dei. Definitely Neu! or Neu! '75 over Neu! 2. But basically, I can totally identify with what Miller says here. Can, as he says, is very spoilt for choice. Tago Mago is their best work; but who on Earth could rationally can pick out a standout Can album? That band, THE greatest, were the ultimate chameleons. My favorite Can release might be Flow Motion, which is such a wacky choice. By the way, my biggest cut-out moment (incidentally not at Wolworth's) was buying Talk Talk's Spirit of Eden, on cassette, a year after in 1989, for about $4.
I love Flow Motion too... Not a common choice I know.
Sand - Golem (1974) / Amon Duul II - Wolf City (1972) are two more people need to acknowledge that first one by Amon Duul is wayyyy too hippy dippy to be taken seriously don't waste your time you will barf pachoullie
forgeting a Embryo was big mistake
No Tangerine dream surprises me.
But maybe theyre too obvious. I mean, culture wise.
Obvious or not I'd have 'Phaedra' in my list...
WRONG, Phallus Dei is actually the greatest album in the world!
HEY WHAT ABOUT FRUMPY??? lol
Funny seeing an Englishman squirming around the term Krautrock in a kind of apologetic way....when it was Faust who coined the term. Faust being German of course.
It was coined by English music journalists, not Faust. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krautrock
There was definitely some Kraut (also German term for weed) involved...
faust were french also
@@DrNothing23 I stand corrected...or sit corrected. Thanks
amon dull 2 yeti is the best album of these bands but its not krautrock.. it sounds different. not better but different
Sorry, but I cannot stand Autobahn
It's quite a mainstream look at German rock. Like really boring. No Brainticket Celestial Oceans., No German Oak Into The Bunker ????? Dude.
Kraftwerk sucks
