Grobschnitt - The Exursion Of Father Smith
They have sonic content on par with the big names in English prog.
 
Harmonia - Deluxe - Monza
...when the wall of sound has the license plate Deutschland...
 
Yes - Parallels (2003 Remaster)
A band that brings magic to an end with that Machine Messiah from Drama (the same year as the end of Genesis with the 8 minutes of Duke's Travels).
 
Cluster - Im Süden
Genius duo in their first two noise experimental albums. Super proto industrial, even in the early days alongside Conrad Schnitzler (less impactful in his solo career). I summarize the subsequent period with two tracks: Hollywood (a perfect mix of the motorik of Neu and the plastic dance of Kraftwerk's Autobahn) and Sowiesoso (the perfect watercolor that doesn’t fall into monotony). The two ambient works with Eno are less striking; honestly, those two piano notes, I’m good at making them too, MUAH.
 
amm - after rapidly circling the plaza (lp version)
An atomic track that summarizes, along with the other peak "Later during a flaming riviera sunset," the absurd art of AMM. Unfortunately, these are the only two notable compositions. The two-hour live performance at The Crypt in '68 is something cacophonous, unbearable AHAH that is the opposite example, meaning when free form creates nothing "assimilable."
