The Brian Eno / Cluster and Harmonia Collaborations: Tracks + Traces, Cluster + Eno
Send us Fan Mail We've talked about Harmonia, and we've talked about Cluster. Time now to dig deep into the life and times of Brian Peter George St. Jean-Baptiste de la Salle Eno. Join us as we talk art school, Roxy Music, and Eno's terrific '70s solo records ... all of this just stage-setting, as far as we Krautrockers are concerned, for Brian's first introduction to the Harmonia boys, Moebius, Roedelius, and Rother, and the collaborations that followed. We call out specifically ...

Witthüser & Westrupp, Trips und Träume
Send us Fan Mail Today we talk about Krautfolk duo Bernd Witthüser and Walter Westrupp. These two budding musicians met on the Essen basement hipster folk scene, became fast friends, fell out (yeah: a girl), and reconnected after the Essener Songtage in 1968. After a first splash with their, um, Flipper the Dolphin single, W and W stole the show at Fehmarn. (Some might say Hendrix never recovered.) Tabs and joints and Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser soon entered the mix, and sessions wit...

Sergius Golowin, Lord Krishna von Goloka + Walter Wegmüller, Tarot
Send us Fan Mail Today we get our Swiss on, as we look in on the Cosmic Couriers' collaborations with Bernese scholar/ mystic Sergius Golowin and Yenish artist Walter Wegmüller. First we depart this grim terrestrial plane and ascend to the mountain paradise of Goloka, where the vibe is chill and Lord Krishna reigns supreme. Now Wegmüller takes charge of our party and walks us through the Tarot's Major Arcana. With us on this journey are Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser and the Star-Maiden, Göttsching...

Floh de Cologne, Fliessbandbabys Beat-Show
Send us Fan Mail Eau de Cologne. Floh de Cologne. Oh, that Floh de Cologne! Blending old-time cabaret tradition and '60s radical left-wing politics, the Flohs brought biting wit and considerable musical range to bierkellers and Uni stages all across West Germany. And it wasn't long before they laid a concept album/ beat-show down to tape. That record, Ohr Records’ first release (!), was Fliessbandbabys Beat-Show. Rock along with your two favorite middle-aged Gen X Conveyor Belt Ba...

The Cosmic Jokers, Self-Titled + Galactic Supermarket/ **Special Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser Episode**
Send us Fan Mail We were overdue to check in on Krautrock's unwitting supergroup, the Cosmic Jokers. But we weren't gonna do it without first going *deep* on Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser and Gille Lettmann. At various times visionary, provocateur, entrepreneur, programmer, pamphleteer, carnival barker, and snake oil salesman, Kaiser was an essential figure in the Krautrock project. His life-partner-in-crime, Gille, brought a Star-Maiden's magic dust--and some wicked vocals--to the ma...

Klaus Schulze, Irrlicht + Moondawn
Send us Fan Mail Took a minute but we're back with a vengeance and a heaping helping of Synthy Berliner Klaus Schulze! We gushed about Klaus's drumming in our Tangerine Dream and Ash Ra Tempel episodes. Funny thing, though: Klaus's FIFTY-PLUS-YEAR career as a solo artist was a largely drums-free endeavor. Starting with 1972's Irrlicht, which he hacked together with a wonky amp, broken organ, some delay effects and a taped orchestral rehearsal, Klaus Schulze set aside conven...

A.R. + Machines, Die Grüne Reise
Send us Fan Mail Today we accept a listener's invite up to Hamburg, for a visit with A.R. + Machines. Achim Reichel grew up near the docks, listening to sea shanties. He found work at the Star-Club waiting tables, but soon enough he was on its stage playing with the Rattles—and running with Lennon & McCartney. Come 1971 he ditched his bandmates for a tape machine. Krautrock followed. Turns out Achim was just passing through on his way to other sounds and traditions.&nb...

Amon Düül, Psychedelic Underground
Send us Fan Mail In today's episode, Carla and Brad tip their caps to the ten or more young Bavarians who stood up to Mom and Dad, demanded money for a swank downtown apartment, and most assuredly drove their neighbors nuts with the ensuing band rehearsals. Well, maybe we tip our caps more to the parents who funded this grand and glorious adventure. Musical Münchner communards choose attitude over aptitude. Drum circles and pudding plots abound. Push the levels all the wa...
