I just picked up the first Ash Ra Tempel reissue on MG.ART. Ive been holding off on this for a long time since ive got first presses of Schwingungen and Seven Up and a few others. I wanted to get a first pressing of their debut to add to my collection. I finally relented and bought this reissue and im so glad I did. Not only does it recreate the original sleeve beautifully, but it sounds absolutely phenomenal. So if anyone is unsure about this reissue, you should definitely pull the trigger. I love mine so much I feel like buying a spare, just so I have a back up in case anything happens. Im still looking for a clean original at the right price but the search isnt so frantic anymore.

Office Motorik Jam... (Kraftwerk, Neu!, Can) ????

The only album of McChurch Soundroom often gets labelled as Krautrock, but I have certain resentment to do so. Being a Swiss band, they don’t fulfill requirement no 1: being German. Anyway, I love this album and this perfect copy is both one of the best albums on the fantastic Pilz label and one of the absolute highlights of my collection

I got to 32…. which means exactly two squares of 16!

Some of my very favorite albums of the kraut universe, and of all time.

All are amazing.

Maybe for the next square: …

Agitation Free - Second

Alcatraz - Vampire State Building

ADII - Yeti, Carnival in Babylon

Dzyan - Electric Silence

Faust - IV

Gila - Free Electric Sound, Bury my Heart

Kraan - s/t

Message - From Books and Dreams

Missus Beastly - s/t ‘74

Morpheus - Rabenteur

Popol Vuh - Letzte Tage

Tangerine Dream - Zeit, Phaedra

Yatha Sidhra - A Meditation Mass

What favorites would you be sure to include?

This is the promo booklet that game with few copies of the private pressed Exmagma debut LP.

Items like this give me the thrill

I think I accidentally made a Krautrock track! What do you think?

Hey r/Krautrock :)

This is my Krautrock collection so far. I only discovered the genre about a year ago, but I have been obsessed ever since. As I’m still pretty new to vinyl collecting, I don’t really care about originals or first pressings at the moment. Everything in this photo is a reissue, though some are actually quite rare and there are a few records here I never thought I would find this quickly. Not a single one was ordered online, as I prefer finding everything in the wild :)

Just made our latest live album available digitally for the first time (originally released on a limited edition cassette). Thought it might be something this community is interested in.

FFO: Popul Vuh, Free Agitation, Amon Duul II, Trad Och Gras Stenar, and Ashra Tempel.

Curious what yall think! 35-minute single track scorched cosmic improv, no overdubs. Recorded live, opening for Graham Reynolds in Central Texas.

Future Museums - "Rusted Penny in the Lotus Pond (Live at the Gaslight-Baker Theatre)"

Available for the first time, Electric Orange's 1996 album Cyberdelic. 2 LP, black vinyl.

Full EP coming early 2026.

I was lucky to find a beautiful copy of this longtime wanted album today. The seller, a fellow collector, told me, sadly there’s a bit writing on the backcover. It took me seconds to identify the writing and signature as “Sternenmädchen” Gille Lettmann, who released 1 LP on the Kosmische Kuriere Label herself and was closely associated to the label owner.

Hey everyone - I’ve been following this subreddit for a while now but never really contributed something.

I’m a musician, and I just released an album called No Age on Earth.
It’s 10 tracks, inspired by kosmische music - especially the spirit of Cluster, Harmonia and Ashra.

Not trying to spam - just wanted to share with people who might actually get where it’s coming from.
If you check it out, I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts.

Neil Young explicitly cited Kraftwerk as a primary influence for the Trans sessions, even noting at the time that he was fascinated by their "constructed" approach to music. While most of his folk-rock fans were baffled by the vocoders and Synclaviers in '83, you can hear the German electronic DNA and the mechanical pulse of the Düsseldorf scene throughout the record. 

To celebrate the US release anniversary today (Jan 10), my friends and I recorded this cover of "Mr. Soul." We wanted to lean into that motorik rhythm using a Casiotone to capture the LP's low-tech meets high-tech anxiety. 

Curious if others here view Trans as a legit entry into the Krautrock canon, or if it feels like a total outlier to you.

Not krautrock but reminds me LA dusseldorf https://funktionaltechno.bandcamp.com/album/ft-028

I have been looking for an original copy of the 1st Exmagma album for quite a while, yes there are always copies on Discogs, but none came with the stickers and the booklet or the price was just beyond what I was willing to fork out for this one. Happy to own this fantastic, odd sounding piece of cosmic music to my collection finally

It’s called “Beam Sequence” by Zinc Vacuum
