For me, "jerk & egocentric" (Waters? Zappa? Patton? Davis? all humble and accommodating little folks :D) is a positive trait; I didn't know Barman was like that too... I imagined him to be more tender and reserved, he gains points as a bartender. But Camillo remains cooler, even though obviously, I also think the best things were done together, Camillo is more pazzeriell’ and Tommaso is more classy, I'm with Pazzerièll. Then, by contract, I always have to disagree with Nick, otherwise there's no fun.

Beautiful Zeith, now I’m going to listen to it. However, I have a love-hate relationship with the Tangerine; they release too many albums that sound the same, and to change things up a little, you need at least 5 albums, and I never know which one to pick. But for someone who’s been following them since '70, they must be pure cult, pumping out an album every damn year, from '70 to 2005 there hasn’t been a single year without a release, volcanic is putting it mildly. Unlike those idiots who wait 5 years for an album from various oesis, uddue...

Moon, do I like these?

I don’t have it yet; sooner or later, it will come into my hands. I don’t understand that one about being a bit mistreated :)

...well, today I’m feeling loose, caught the second Dalek: "Absence," you should like it if you enjoy that one with the Faust (which I still need to buy the original, damn it). It's Oktopus (the one who makes the beats for the Dalek) the bad guy who infected the Faust, a pretty cool guy too. The very fact that the Faust made an album with him says a lot, I don’t think they would “lower themselves” to do an EP with the first idiot who shows up ;)

Ah, we used to write together... so, Airò, Fricke besides the Popol, what else have they been up to? Tell us, tell us...

In my opinion, the best of Popol lies in: "In Den Garten Pharaos," "Hosianna Mantra," and another one that I can't quite dub in English, something like "Ensiagher Siebenbagher"... just be careful with the a's in the first two, some of them have those umlauts, and for the third, the name is similar, but I never get it right, it's too complicated to remember :D. The best ones have been reissued, pairing the albums together and changing the names to English; I bought the reissues of "In The Garden Of... + "Aguirre" and "Hosianna Mantra + Tantric Song." They might also be available in their original versions, but I've never looked for them. In Popol, there's the same singer from Duul II, Renate Knaup, who is also quite attractive... sure, not on the level of Uschi Obermaier, but still nice to look at. But anyway, does anyone know more stuff by Fricke? Where's Airone when you need him?

Cluster & Kluster are the same thing: They started as Kluster with a three-piece lineup playing a slightly varied Kraut-Rock, always in the vein of Amon Düül, Ash Ra Tempel, and CAN, which in the end is Space-Rock, and more electronic than American and English, but the matrix of Psychedelic Rock is always there. Then one of the three (although they are all famous, I don’t have the names in mind right now, but if you Google them, you'll find a lot of stuff about them) leaves, leaving two behind who become Cluster, starting to make 4/4 and pieces of pure electronics. If you like Kraftwerk's Autobahn, you should like them: I have a bit of confusion in my head about the various albums but one I know well: "Zuckerzeit" (maybe there's some zeta instead of an s, but we’re close) which is one or two years before Autobahn and sounds the same: you should enjoy it a lot. From Aphex Twin, I prefer the violent and twisted stuff: "Drukqs" & "The Richard D. James Album." Speaking of 70s Germany in general, I'm also into Amon Düül II (but the "I" are great too), I listen to them more often than the others, but there's a big battle among all those great bands, the Vuh as Ege says, CAN, even the lesser-known Eloy (someone reminded me of them a few days ago, I think it was Logic P.)... there are so many to fill a year of listening to just Tehtehsko :D

Ah, another German group that did more or less the same things as Kraftwerk are Cluster, and they were around a few years earlier. I'm not crazy about Cluster either, but maybe they should be included even before Kraft in the list of pioneers. The only album of theirs that I like is one they made with Eno, which is indeed a piece of galactic ambient, but it has some really unique sounds and, above all, quite ahead of its time. I looked them up precisely because Eno mentions them several times, and if he says so...
