Psychedelia & Kraut / Krautrock

Amon Düül II's 1972 album, a tighter set of songs after the sprawling early records, with Renate Knaup's vocals, Indian sitar and tabla guests and the instrumental Deutsch Nepal, plus three bonus tracks.

Before the studio could tame an idea, Can were already somewhere new. The Peel Sessions Vol. 1 brings together recordings made for John Peel’s BBC Radio 1 programme between 1973 and 1975—music that moves freely between hypnotic rhythm, raw electronics and sudden, unexpected turns. Much of it is built from improvisation, with the band stretching each performance into its own world. Across six tracks, Can turn the studio into a place of discovery. The momentum of “Up the Bakerloo Line with Anne” g…

On Barker Final, Ivan The Tolerable closes the door on 1a Barker Road with a set of songs conceived, performed and mastered entirely by Oli Heffernan. The album feels like a final dispatch from a long‑running home studio, where restless experiments in tone and texture are distilled into a focused, late‑night farewell.

Composed for Werner Herzog's documentary The Great Ecstasy of Woodcarver Steiner (Die große Ekstase des Bildschnitzers Steiner, 1974), this previously unreleased score by the German musical collective Popol Vuh accompanies the extraordinary flights of Swiss ski flyer and woodcarver Walter Steiner. Internationally celebrated for his record-breaking ski flying in the 1970s, Steiner (born 1951) became a two-time world champion and earned the nickname "the bird man." Popol Vuh's ethereal score eleva…

Faust unbound, curated by keyboardist Hans-Joachim Irmler. Drones, grooves and collage roam free, another founder's window onto the collective's fearless, uncategorisable body of work.

The Faust vaults through Jean-Herve Peron's eyes. Songs, sabotage and tender strangeness sit side by side, a personal cut of the krautrock legends' boundless, unruly tape archive.

More from the Faust archive, chosen by drummer Zappi Diermaier. Rhythm-driven fragments, noise and studio mischief, the collective's fearless early spirit heard through a founder's own ear.

Faust's vaults, opened by the band itself. Co-founder Gunther Wusthoff curates unheard tapes and fragments, motorik grooves, collage and pure invention from krautrock's great disruptors.

The self-titled debut of Jaki Liebezeit's post-Can group. Motorik pulse meets echo, dub and electronic haze: loose, driving and deeply hypnotic. Krautrock's rhythmic genius stretching out on his own terms.

Can drummer Jaki Liebezeit's own vehicle. Phantom Band ride his inexhaustible groove into dubwise, hypnotic krautrock: spacious, propulsive and endlessly funky. Rhythm as pure hypnosis, from one of the great German drummers.

The master of the echo-guitar, alone in the wilderness. Schickert layers cascading, delay-drenched guitar into trance-inducing krautrock ritual: hypnotic, psychedelic and deeply cosmic. Solitary genius from the Berlin underground.

Faust reactivated. 'Something Dirty' pairs founding members with new collaborators for grinding, groove-driven experiments: raw guitars, motorik pulse and studio mischief, the old subversive spirit alive and unbowed.

The lost album. Recorded in 1974 and shelved for decades, 'Punkt' captures Faust between anarchy and melody: brooding, expansive and strange. A missing chapter of krautrock history, finally heard.

The fourth trove of Faust rarities. Studio sketches, false starts and sudden brilliance from rock's great disruptors, proof that even the offcuts of this collective crackle with fearless, unrepeatable invention.

Volume three of Faust's archival 'snapshots'. More unheard fragments from the krautrock legends' vaults: collage, groove and glorious chaos, the sound of a band that treated the studio as both demolition site and playground.

Snapshots from the Faust vaults, unheard studio moments from krautrock's most anarchic band. Tape collage, motorik grooves and pure sonic sabotage sit side by side, a document of the collective's fearless early-'70s experimentation.

On In Green, Ivan The Tolerable offers a one-sided LP of compact, colour-saturated psych drift: a private transmission from Oli Heffernan’s ever-restless studio world. Its singular format suits music that feels concentrated rather than slight - a bright pocket of guitar haze, electronic residue and intuitive, unhurried motion pressed onto one vivid side.

Salewski is a drummer, composer, and a core member of the avant-garde pop scene. Between 2016 and 2018, he collaborated with various artists from his creative circle. Salewski arranged these songs, which were compiled into an LP and released on the Echokammer label in 2018: Salewski II "Chansons," featuring Inida Kreuz, Manuela Rzytki, Rosalie Eberle, Pico Be, Anna McCarthy, Anton Kaun, and Albert Pöschl. To perform the music live, a band was formed consisting of Pico Be (Autoboy) (Vocals), Anna…
