What an amazing record! Bought a Japanese Brain reissue some years back, and it was magical to hear. Now, I'd been a fan of Kraftwerk since the 80's, I'd gotten Can's 'Ege Bamyasi', NEU! 2...but THIS REALLY made me want to dive into the wonderful world of 70's German music, and what treasures came to me! This music is transcendant, timeless, brilliant!
Holy shit.... I can't believe how many times these German pioneers ( Neu!, Can, these guys, etc) have been ripped of by, well, everybody. Viva Krautrock!
@DanielBowden1975 I would argue that Guru Guru, Faust, Can, Agitation Free and Ash Ra Tempel (to name a handful of bigger names) had a healthy amount of rock (of various kinds) in their origins, but they certainly moved into new territory from there! I will certainly agree with you that it's a stupid term, though, and somewhat offensive.
It's great. There's 3 or 4 mid-period Kraftwerk tunes like this on their Radioactivity album, from about 1975- if you like this you'll love them. This is all a lot like later synth-pop from post punk early 80s period- so this stuff is ahead of it's time- and an under-credited influence. The Germans did great things for modern pop. You'll also enjoy much of La Dusseldorf if you like this.
yes, Michael Rother originally Kraftwerk, then Neu collaborated with Cluster band to form Harmonia. No doubt the german connection here has advanced Electronic Rock. Of course no one should forget the Berlin contribution !!!
I came here from the altamont site, I like Harmonia, and I like Bryan Herman, and I like Theotis Beasley, I'm off to smoke some weed now, and listen to this again, bye bye
I can't for the life of me understand why gems like this are posted along side Fery2's collective soul video. I guess it just flies straight over my head. More Roedelius.

Hate that word Krautrock
Most of the so called Krautrock bands have nothing to do with ROCK

@DanielBowden1975
its often misused for all (and often very silly) german rock from the 70s, yes.
but harmonias deluxe is sure one of the about 50 real krautrecords.

Up and down again and again,
Once on top and once underneath,
Back and forth again and again,
Crisscross, once easy, once hard.
Up and down again and again,
Once on top and once underneath.

German krautrock is missing link between hippie and punk rock, not to mention techno and hip-hop.
