1	Trans-Europe Express (1977) more music like this by Kraftwerk Although Autobahn was a left-field masterpiece, Trans-Europe Express is often cited as perhaps the archetypal (and most accessible) Kraftwerk album. Melodic themes are repeated often and occasionally interwoven over deliberate, chugging beats, sometimes with manipulated vocals; the effect is mechanical yet hypnotic. Thematically, the record feels ... see all copies from $5.19! new only from $10.50!
2	Sorcerer (1977) more music like this by Tangerine Dream The German group's lucrative film scoring career began here, one year before Peter Baumann left for a solo career. The trio's eerie electronica was an early inspiration for Sorcerer, director William Friedkin says in the soundtrack's liner notes. If he had known about Tangerine Dream, he says he would have used the group's music for The Exorcist. ... see all copies from $5.16! new only from $11.60!
3	Autobahn (1974) more music like this by Kraftwerk Although Kraftwerk's first three albums were groundbreaking in their own right, Autobahn is where the group's hypnotic electronic pulse genuinely came into its own. The main difference between Autobahn and its predecessors is how it develops an insistent, propulsive pulse that makes the repeated rhythms and riffs of the shimmering electronic ... see all copies from $12.50! new only from $19.27!
4	New Age of Earth (1976) more music like this by Ashra The title was more prophetic than most -- though Earth thankfully isn't quite so bathetic as any number of releases on Windham Hill, by this point Gottsching was well into his electronic phase, the jam freakouts of the earliest albums replaced by a clean, crisp electronic bed. Unlike the rigorous pulse of fellow Krautrock pioneers Kraftwerk, ... see all copies from $7.97! new only from $10.79!
5	Risky Business (1984) more music like this by Original Soundtrack A fairly good cross-section of the soundtrack music for this film (starring Tom Cruise in a breakout performance), with TD's pulsating cues on five tracks balanced well against a selection of rock, blues and funk numbers (by Bob Seger, Jeff Beck, Prince and Muddy Waters, among others). The standout cut is "Love on a Real Train." Steven McDonald, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $15.07!
6	Flow Motion (1976) more music like this by Can The second of Can's three Virgin albums, 1976's Flow Motion, is a divisive record in the group's canon. It was their most commercially successful album (the opening track, "I Want More," was released as a single in the U.K. and actually charted, thanks to its smoothly percolating near-disco groove, which makes it resemble a late-period Roxy Music ... see all copies from $6.39! new only from $14.56!
7	Zuckerzeit (1974) more music like this by Cluster An unexpected jump from the extended kosmische jams of Cluster 71 into uncharted territory that signaled their direction for years to come, Zuckerzeit presented a vision of electronic pop, fusing the duo's haunted melodic sense with crisp, scratchy drum programs that provided a grounded focus to all those synthesizer warbles. Oddly, the ten ... see all copies from $16.59! new only from $16.59!
8	Ege Bamyasi (1972) more music like this by Can The follow-up to Tago Mago is only lesser in terms of being shorter; otherwise the Can collective delivers its expected musical recombination act with the usual power and ability. Liebezeit, at once minimalist and utterly funky, provides another base of key beat action for everyone to go off on -- from the buried, lengthy solos by Karoli on "Pinch ... see all copies from $7.89! new only from $10.79!
9	Delay...1968 (1981) more music like this by Can Although recorded in the late '60s, the material included on Can's Delay...1968 did not appear commercially until 1981. A collection of cuts featuring early vocalist Malcolm Mooney, these seven songs are among the very first Can tunes ever recorded; while nowhere near as intricate or assured as the group's later work, the visceral energy of tracks ... see all copies from $13.21! new only from $14.56!
10	Minimum-Maximum (2005) more music like this by Kraftwerk For rock bands, hauling gear across countries and continents has not changed a great deal in the past several decades. The same can't be said for Kraftwerk. Grappling with sensitive cables and other technical gadgets in extreme climates has become a thing of the past. For them, everything has become easier to manage and transport, so it's natural ... see all copies from $12.68! new only from $13.70!
11 view cover	Tago Mago (1971) more music like this by Can With the band in full artistic flower and Suzuki's sometimes moody, sometimes frenetic speak/sing/shrieking in full effect, Can released not merely one of the best Krautrock albums of all time, but one of the best albums ever, period. Tago Mago is that rarity of the early '70s, a double album without a wasted note, ranging from sweetly gentle ... see all copies from $9.55! new only from $10.79!
12 view cover	Musik Von Harmonia (1974) more music like this by Harmonia The debut Harmonia album is at once a product of their source bands and a fine new twist on them, resulting in music that captures what for many is the Krautrock ideal, or more accurately, the motorik ideal. It's not Kraftwerk's all-synth, clean, clinical pulse, nor Neu!'s seemingly effortless glide, nor Can's stomping art world funk. Instead it's ... see all copies from $14.94! new only from $16.59!
13 view cover	Firestarter (1984) more music like this by Tangerine Dream Firestarter is an action-packed thriller with dark and sinister references. That description applies to the film and to Tangerine Dream's soundtrack. As a body of work, their film music is inconsistent and uneven. There are some outstanding scores and some real clunkers. This CD is a good one. The music has strong character and integrity and the ... see all copies from $8.71!
14 view cover	Timewind (1975) more music like this by Klaus Schulze Dedicated to Richard Wagner, Timewind is a 60-minute electronic expedition that is broken up into two half-hour tracks, "Bayreuth Return" and "Wahnfried 1883." The first 30 minutes involves icy pulsations and lengthy tonal flights that unnoticeably converge into each other. While one rhythm gains momentum, the other one slowly fades into a bubbly ... see all copies from $8.25! new only from $11.07!
15 view cover	Neu! (1972) more music like this by Neu! Fresh after leaving Kraftwerk in the fall of 1971 for what they perceived to be a lack of vision, guitarist Michael Rother and drummer Klaus Dinger formed their own unit and changed the face of German rock forever -- eventually influencing their former employer, Florian Schneider of Kraftwerk. The 1974 album Autobahn was a genteel reconsideration ... see all copies from $4.82! new only from $13.20!
16 view cover	Anthology 1968-1993 (1995) more music like this by Can For listeners daunted by Can's long and winding discography, Anthology 1968-1993 presents short-form highlights like "Spoon," "Future Days," "Moonshake," "She Brings the Rain," and 25 others. Yes, the albums are better places to hear all of these tracks, and there's a typically Cannish disregard for chronology or narrative (i.e., don't hope for ... see all copies from $14.03! new only from $15.65!
17 view cover	De Luxe (1975) more music like this by Harmonia A touch more immediate and song-oriented than its predecessor, but no less enchanting and lovely to hear, De Luxe again features the trio experimenting with a variety of approaches, most particularly including vocals here and there for the first time. There's also a guest musician helping out, namely Mani Neumeier from Guru Guru, and while he's ... see all copies from $16.24! new only from $18.63!
18 view cover	Saw Delight (1977) more music like this by Can This effort is a nice mix of trance/groove instrumentals, ethnic sampling, and silly vocals in English. Myles Boisen, All Music Guide see all copies from $13.80! new only from $16.09!
19 view cover	Faust IV [UK Bonus CD] (2006) more music like this by Faust Coming on the heels of the cut-and-paste sound collage schizophrenia of The Faust Tapes, Faust IV seems relatively subdued and conventional, though it's still a far cry from what anyone outside the German avant-garde rock scene was doing. The album's disparate threads don't quite jell into something larger (as in the past), but there's still much ... see all copies from $11.08! new only from $15.41!
20 view cover	Melrose (1990) more music like this by Tangerine Dream Electronic music seems to have been all the rage, even back in the early '90s, but the Dream (aka Citrus Slumber) has been the innovative force behind much of the John Tesh like synth patterns played on new age stations during that time. You might think the band (comprised of keyboardist-guitarist Edgar Froese, his son Jerome Froese, and ... see all copies from $3.18!
21 view cover	30 Jahre Live (30 Years Live) (2006) more music like this by Guru Guru Good grief, did we really need this?! What?! A three-disc, 30-year retrospective of live Guru Guru, as it was entering into its (shudder) fourth decade as a going concern. Drummer and spiritual leader Mani Neumeier is teamed with the "classic" Guru Guru lineup of Roland Schaeffer, bassist Peter Kuhmstedt, and guitarist Luigi Archetti at the 1998 ... see all copies from $14.70! new only from $18.00!
22 view cover	Neu! 75 (1975) more music like this by Neu! After a three-year break, Neu! members Klaus Dinger and Michael Rother buried their differences temporarily, and reunited for another go at the "motorik" sound they had developed with their debut in 1971. The strange tension and presentation of Neu! 2 and the emergence of their former band Kraftwerk may have precipitated the reunion, but, whatever ... see all copies from $11.82! new only from $13.20!
23 view cover	Dimensions (2007) more music like this by Freedom Call If a group of fortysomething or fiftysomething headbangers wandered into a power metal revival concert in Europe in 2007, they probably would have thought they had found a time machine back to the late '70s or early '80s. They would encounter an abundance of long-haired headbangers in their teens and early twenties looking and dressing exactly as ... see all copies from $13.22! new only from $14.95!
24 view cover	Timewind [Revisited] (2006) more music like this by Klaus Schulze Dedicated to Richard Wagner, Timewind is a 60-minute electronic expedition that is broken up into two half-hour tracks, "Bayreuth Return" and "Wahnfried 1883." The first 30 minutes involve icy pulsations and lengthy tonal flights that unnoticeably converge into each other. While one rhythm gains momentum, the other one slowly fades into a bubbly ... see all copies from $15.59! new only from $17.41!
25 view cover	Vive La Trance [Bonus Tracks] (2007) more music like this by Amon Düül Amon Düül ll's extraordinary 1973 album finds the influential German art rock band working surprisingly well in a short song format while still stamping the music with their unique sound. "Fly United," "Trap," and "Ladies Mimikry" show diverse styles of pop and rock running happily into each other with memorably quirky results. The instrumentation ... see all copies from $13.70! new only from $15.70!
