Julian Cope - Krautrocksampler

(Click on the picture to download.)

I prefer my Krautrock to actually have fairly little rock in it (read: Neu!, Harmonia, K/Cluster, early Tangerine Dream, some Popol Vuh) and think that the freakout/psych jam bands like Amon Düül I & 2 or Cosmic Jokers are mostly noodly, badly dated crap, so I disagree completely with a lot of Copey's assessments. Still, this is a great overview of German Kosmische Musik and one hell of an entertaining read in a Lester Bangs-gone-acidfried-hippie stylee. Now if only the old nutter would go back to making good music again...
