Im still fairly new to this genre and i want to explore it more. I have Can's Monster Movie and Tago Mago and like them both, but i now there are dozens of krautrock bands and albums out there.

So i want to hear some opinions on who you all think are the best and which albums are worth tracking down

These are just a few, but some great ones to get started on.

your list is spot on but this one is one of amazing, very overlooked though

i'd add faust - so far

golem - orion awakens

i kinda of spaced out, can't really think of others except the obvious (can, neu!, ash ra temple, klaus schultze, etc.)

That Golem album is actually fake "vintage/lost" krautrock perpetrated by Julian Cope if I'm not mistaken. A damn fine album nonetheless.

as far as i know, it's some weird mysterious thing which genesis p-orridge produced (way before tg) and much is unknown. it could be a farse, though.

and as you said, authentic or not, it's an amazing album.

I have heard varying reports on the origins of this album. GPO's name does appear in the liner notes though, as both producer and co-writer of the tracks. Claims to be from 72/73.

Can't believe I didn't mention Yeti and Phallus Dei by Amon Duul II!

Sleep music-
Cluster, or one of the first three or 4 Tangerine Dream LPs. They were excellent when they first started.

As for Brainticket, they are great, but I prefer "Cottonwood Hill" to "Psychonaut." I also believe they were Swiss and not German.

Savage Clone & Everyneurotic are experts at this genre/subject.

So, that being said, I'll risk exposing my fundamental ignorance & go with
