Do you like Ash Ra Tempel too?

Wurger, are there any good Polish ambient or "Krautrock" bands? {or similar to Oldfield, Jarre, Tangerine, Ash Ra}

The "classic" TD is my favurite aswell.To all these titles I can add Thank You Poland, Tyger and Shy People.But you are right without Franke it is not the same.

Ash Ra Temple... I don't remember this one.Sorry


Concerning Polish bands there haven't been any of these so far.Most of the kind of music was performed by single musicians or composers like Marek Biliński and Mikołaj Hertel.Truly nice music.

What about Klaus Schulze?

Is Kraftwerk still around?
Man, I remember hearing about those guys back in the 70's!

Pink Floyd fans - you guys did hear about Richard Wright?

Kraftwerk are still recording their techno version of Das Boot is not bad
Tangerine Dreams I still love
Dire Straights, Brothers in Arms ground breaking first all digital CD has to get a mention for me as when I bought my Marantz CD player it was one of only a couple of dozen cds on the shelf as the LP still ruled.
Wish you were Here was the best love making sound track in my bedroom in the 70's. sad news of Richards Wrights death on monday though.
And for a total change the 1967 recording of Jacqueline du Pré playing Elgar's Cello Concerto is the most emotionally charged piece of music I know and introduced me into classical music.

Klaus Schulze was briefly a member of the electronic bands Tangerine Dream and Ash Ra Tempel before launching a solo career

Sad to hear about Rick Wright...

Ten Years After - A Space in Time. In reality even more important to me were my two earlier albums, Deep Purple’s Fireball and The Who’s Who’s Next but TYA and Alvin Lee seems to have more unknown on this site so I put them first. I liked very much the guitar sound of Alvin when I was young. But he isn’t even The Worlds Greatest Guitarist poll candidate, not that I’d have voted him, slowhand is slowhand, but…
