I've been a fan of Herzog's
Nosferatu for at least the last 10 years... but upon watching it recently I decided to look more into the (non-classical) music. Thus began my love affair with this wonderful band.
Firstly, I think it's a shame that they're pigeonholed into the Krautrock category, when only their first two albums (out of so many) resemble rock music. I imagine Herzog wouldn't have used them for so many films if they in fact were a typical moog crazy Kraut act.
The song 'Höre, der du wagst' has become one of my favorite pieces of music, ever.
The
Hosianna Mantra album (their first to stray away from the moog) is staggering.
'Ah!' from
Hosianna Mantra:
