If you tuned in last Sunday night for the Sound Travels mixtape, you heard me make my first foray with Krautrock. I can't even pretend expertise on the genre and really only began sourcing these songs fairly recently. I do know however, that what songs and sounds I have here in this mix are a nice smattering of well known acts. What I love about the krautrock sound is the sense of experimentation, the unabashed psychedelic-ness of grooves governed by what seems to be a whole different dynamic than acts, especially US acts, from the era. The often quirky-ness of the early experimentations with electronics and synths works sublimely when paired with instruments further dosed with layers of effects.
