Progressive talk

i find krautrock more than a little bland, thus preferring sauerkrautrock. only found one cd so far, though. done by an amish group on kerosene guitar and dobro. -cfb

I'm no Krautrock expert but I believe it's fair to say it is seen on the more avant garde/experimental side of things and therefore (rightly or wrongly)more critically acclaimed and nowadays seen as influential on punk and post punk bands such as Magazine,The Fall etc and modern avant garde bands.
Standard Progressive rock covers a much wider range of bands and although a few were seen as avant garde/experimental most were considered more mainstream and/or rock based.
That's a very simplistic take on things but....you'll probably find few Audiogon members with Can or Neu albums but loads with Yes,Floyd etc...
And yes CFB has been drinking...........

Homemade (garage) sauerkrautrock is the best. If a bit harsh, it can be fused with applerock.

Other good fusions include sauerkrautundspareribsrock, blutwurstrock, or that perennial amish fave, schnitzundknepprock.

...hmmm... that reminds me the discussion "Rap in high-end speakers".

Nice recipie, Will. Here is mine:

"Rock" sauerkraut best with straight vodka and a pickle and listen to Jonny Cash or Creedence.

Yes and Pink Floyd is a folk music and we all know about it. It's been popularized pretty fast and everyone knows them.

I realy want to find an A-Gon member that knows Can, Faust, Cluster for a temporary record exchange and/or burning onto CDs or cassettes.

I like those german synthesizer bands from the 70's when they were really interesting and unique. I'm guessing that by progressive rock though, you mean groups like amon duul/can/nektar/lucifers friend/and so forth.
I have the vinyl imports for most of that stuff of the above groups and find them a notch below the english bands but certainly better than the american groups that fit the same bill. Most of those albums glory days were say 69-75 and then the progressive groups all seem to have bandmembers leaving frequently and everything suffering as a consequence. If you don't have those early can or amon duul albums, prepare to spend some $$ to acquire them.
Not many people in the united states are familiar with any of these groups since they didn't tour here or have major labels with a publicity machine behind them. But that doesn't mean they aren't any good, you just have to go to it, as opposed to letting music come to you.
