BEST OF KRAUTROCK (1969-1979)

My favourite German progressive/experimental/"kosmische" music from the colourful 1969-'79 era!!! That means drugged-out psychedelia, dark grooves, Teutonic angst, spacey analog electronics, weird sonic avantgardism and even some brave ethnic touches… To me, all these tendencies were clearly interconnected and part of the same sociopolitical and cultural movement(s), so in this list I try to represent the so-called Krautrock genre as broad as possible - just like it deserves.
Some notes: (1) All releases are listed in approximate chronological order, and (2) of course, I don't own all these mega-expensive first/early German pressings. It ain't a case of snobbery; these were merely picked in order to show the iconic original sleeve artwork in all its yellowed authenticity :-)
