Various - Deustche Elektronische Musik Vol 2 (Vinyl 2-LP, Soul Jazz) - Mint The Beatles balancing subtle instrumentation with understatedPart two of Soul Jazz Records' very enjoyably 'Deutsche Elektronische Musik' series. If you're looking for a way into the German kosmische krautrock experimental scenes of the 70s and early 80s this isn't a bad place to start, featuring as it does some of its greatest hits including Can's 'Halleluwah' and Faust's 'Krautrock'. Also present are Popol Vuh, Niagara, Neu! and many more. Good scene I reckon, got legs. Mint, 2021
