It's very, very dark. As might be expected due to the tragic death of his teenage son during recording.

:(

I find it quite hard to listen to. Suspect you may have a similar reaction given your own recent experience. There but for the grace of God go we all ...

Been binging hard on Krautrock at work this week, in particular Kraftwerk and Neu!

For whatever reason, I've had a very productive week.

[Insert witty line about German efficiency here]

I need to pull out my early Kraftwerk (1, 2, Ralf und Florian, and Organisation).

Heck, pull out their entire catalog. :D

I listen to their later stuff all the time.  To me, there's an abrupt dividing line between their early, Krautrock material, and their later, synthpop material.  That dividing line was Autobahn.  Side one signified the beginning of their synthpop period, while side 2 was the last remaining dregs of their earlier, more "electro jam band"/friends getting together and just making random tunage phase.

I've always been a sucker for polished/well-produced stuff, so while I prefer their later catalog I understand where you are coming from.

Tonight's listen.

Jack White got fairly emotional starting at the 2 minutes mark during "You've Got Her In Your Pocket", which is one of my fav White Stripes songs. I didn't know this was out, but between this and the new Wilco, I may have to buy some vinyl for the first time in a few months.

^ I kind of dig that he uses an old Army issue guitar too. Why I think that's cool, I have no idea.

Was listening to this oldie earlier. For you youngsters who thought Kenny Rogers was just a Country singer (Country was actually his 4th (genre).

He was in the Jazz trio The Bobby Doyle Three, Then the folk group The New Christy Minstrels, before some real success with The First Edition. Oh yeah, and a few Country hits too.

 

My favorite psychedelic rock song when I was about 10...

Quick quiz...Does anybody recognize the drummer with The First Edition? He went on to have a pretty solid career of his own, though maybe not in music.
