asking a member of mainstream german society if they like can is like asking a member of mainstream american society if they like [name some american band].

asking a member of mainstream german society if they like neu! is like asking a member of mainstream american society if they like [name some other american band].

asking a member of mainstream german society if they like faust is like asking a member of mainstream american society if they like [name yet another american band].

asking a member of mainstream german society if they like amon düül 2 is like asking a member of mainstream american society if they like [name a fourth american band].

none of those bands are known to "members of mainstream german society"

Naah. How about

asking a member of mainstream german society if they like can is like asking a member of mainstream american society if they like taking drums and guitars up to a hillside, recording the jam and letting the drummer mix the results.

asking a member of mainstream german society if they like neu! is like asking a member of mainstream american society if they like letting the drummer pick two of his mates to go up the hillside and he picks two more drummers to play the guitar.

asking a member of mainstream german society if they like faust is like asking a member of mainstream american society if they like getting the drummer's smarter brother to go up the hillside with the tape recorder, but he forgets to bring any instruments and so they have to break into a school to liberate the orchestra.

asking a member of mainstream german society if they like amon düül 2 is like asking a member of mainstream american society if they like toyah.

didnt amon duul 2 have greater mainstream success than that?

peter smith (plsmith), Friday, 17 June 2005 14:10 (twenty years ago)

tontos had mainstream success: programmed all s wonder's synths for a string of hit recs

This would be pretty easy to do for Japanese noise/avant/electronic bands since no one in Japan cares about them.

fe zaffe otm. aside from being a song by faust, "krautrock" seems to be mostly an invention of british journalists. (the modern american equivalent being "new weird america")
