Well well, the Red Album. Was it still missing?? Anyway, it doesn't blow me away. Always excellent supersoul.

A flashy and often tacky disco, but beautiful and enjoyable. And I feel like there's something more beyond the sources you mention. Better the first one and the EP, yes.

And I agree with Aeneas. In fact, I bought the book, and I like it, and I also found it useful.

I've heard them three or four times, and I must say they are quite good in their noise-psychedelic sound blend. But they don't stick with me.

@Neu2, anyway, some of these groups mentioned by Cope are really minor even in terms of quality, at least compared to giants like Faust, Can, or Neu. What importance do the records of the Cosmic Jokers (nice, sure, but totally pointless) or Rastakrautpasta by Moebius & Plank have? Very little.

I had also thought about doing a review, but I still need to figure out if it's an amazing album or a useless one, inspired or amateurish. Glasspack I'm looking for, I think I've only heard them on the compilation Suckin' the 70s.

Well damn, in the end I agree: it's a great one, and I bought it. A gem in the Small Stone catalog that usually wallows in the most pointless stoner. But what about the other albums by these guys?

Totally unreliable Julian Cope, but the book is very entertaining to read if you’re a bit passionate. Just don’t take it as a serious critical reference because Cope here makes some pretty bold claims. I absolutely wouldn’t define it as many have done "the Bible of krautrock". A book that has helped create the myth of that scene, perhaps later venerated with overestimation precisely because it was forgotten and hard to find (not anymore).
