A very shocking album for the ears of CAN / NEU -like krautrock fanatics, as NEKTAR is more or less a progressive rock band!
I don't know much about prog rock but NEKTAR obviously from their debut ave composed their albums as long suite more than short pop-rock tracks. This "Journey" is an often surprising album, full of weird and cosmic sounds, with plenty of gorgeous and sometimes poignant (like in the extraordinay "Burn out my eyes), everyone should try.
So, forget all the things you've been told about prog and download "Journey" here.
PS : I'm disappointed, you don't seem to be so many to be interested in this krautrock retrospective. Any problem with it?

Please go on. We are happy to listen to all of this.
seeing a krautrock list on totally fuzzy was what brought me to your site. i totally agree with your CAN/future days assessment;tago mago's alright but days is the one. also the popul vuh and agitation free i wasn't aware of. i also gave kanguru another chance as a result of your list. please do keep it up;it's greatly appreciated.
I'm very excited by your retrospective. I knew the more familiar artists (CAN, Neu, Amon Duul II, etc.) but Sand, DOM, and Gila were new to me. And I'm thrilled to learn more.
Please continue, I appreciate your efforts!
Agreed with the other comments, this is very much appreciated! You've put up quite a few albums that I've been looking for for a long time. Thank you!

Disappointed?! Your Krautrock retrospective was a great idea... Many thanks and please keep up the good work (and for heaven's sake stop worrying!)
i agree, this is dynamite, wonderful music, great classification, tremendous idea, and a great listen.. thanks so much!! whitemastodon
nice. i'm going to check out nektar. but weren't they dutch? :-)
"Nektar, weren't they dutch"? No I don't think so, but some of them were english - but they were based in germany. But you're right, it's probably not the band thazt sounds the more "german" here.
Thanks for all your coments.
amazing record!!! easily as good as faust or can! thanks so much for doing this krautrock series. i have been following it closely and checking everything out. keep up the good work!
Very Very Good Site and Great Work Music that many people have missed and you are doing us a very great service with these posts if new to the subject a great starting point if not the ability to cherry pick missing titles in our collections so Thank you all greatly appreciated stuff
Hello
It's not that I'm not interested, but I bought a lot of these right after reading Krautrocksampler, probably like every other bandwagon jumping johnny-come-lately in the world. The ones that you're turning up that I haven't heard of are interesting: Nektar & Gila.
Great site. Where the hell is all this music coming from, some alternate dimension? I thought I knew it all.
Pray carry on.

Your retrospective is great! Thanks for posting/sharing. I have been more of a Can, Harmonia, Neu, Cluster, etc, fan and am very excited by the opportunity to listen to bands that I haven't heard yet - - but obviously should have!
I totally love your krautrock retrospective. Your ideas are always worth reading. Plus you have great taste in music! Please keep up the great work.
