Im still fairly new to this genre and i want to explore it more. I have Can's Monster Movie and Tago Mago and like them both, but i now there are dozens of krautrock bands and albums out there.
So i want to hear some opinions on who you all think are the best and which albums are worth tracking down

your list is spot on but this one is one of amazing, very overlooked though i'd add faust - so far that s/t german oak album too. golem - orion awakens i kinda of spaced out, can't really think of others except the obvious (can, neu!, ash ra temple, klaus schultze, etc.) |

That Golem album is actually fake "vintage/lost" krautrock perpetrated by Julian Cope if I'm not mistaken. A damn fine album nonetheless.

as far as i know, it's some weird mysterious thing which genesis p-orridge produced (way before tg) and much is unknown. it could be a farse, though. and as you said, authentic or not, it's an amazing album. |

I have heard varying reports on the origins of this album. GPO's name does appear in the liner notes though, as both producer and co-writer of the tracks. Claims to be from 72/73.

Pretty decent Krautrock review resource here:

Sleep music-
Cluster, or one of the first three or 4 Tangerine Dream LPs. They were excellent when they first started. As for Brainticket, they are great, but I prefer "Cottonwood Hill" to "Psychonaut." I also believe they were Swiss and not German. |

Savage Clone & Everyneurotic are experts at this genre/subject.
So, that being said, I'll risk exposing my fundamental ignorance & go with Can -Tago Mago Can- Ege Bamyasi
