Kosmiche Musik/Krautrock

Gila is a great choice. Very underated band and Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee is an album I think you would really like.

I generally go for the more spacey sounds of Krautrock as I find the Psychedelic acoustic tinged sound a little wishy washy for my tastes.

and probably my favourite of the era:

Harmonia are superb. Deluxe is definately in my top 10 Krautrock albums.

Another band I think needs more cred is La Dusseldorf. The S/T and Viva are right up there.

Manuel gottsching is great, his e2-e4 is another good album

Cosmic Jokers - The Cosmic Jokers
Thirsty Moon - Thirsty Moon
Limbus 4 - Mandalas
Sergius Golowin - Lord Krishna von Goloka
A. R & Machines - Echo
Embryo - We Carry On
Ash Ra Tempel - Schwingungen
Guru Guru - UFO
Popol Vuh - In Den Garten Pharoes'
Gila - Free Electric Sound
Tangerine Dream - Phaedra
Floh De Cologne - Fließbandbabys Beat-Show
Agitation Free - Malesch
Brainticket - Cottonwoodhill
DOM - Edge of Time
La Dusseldorf - Viva
Between - Einstieg
Yatha Sidhra - A Meditation Mass
Klause Schultze - Irrlicht
Walter Wegmuller - Tarot
Xhol Caravan - Electrip
German Oak - German Oak
Annexus Quam - Osmose
Virus - Revelation
Mythos - Mythos
Conrad Schnitzler - Rot
Technical Space Composer's Crew - Canaxis Crew

A top 10 is too difficult. I tried doing a list without the regulars such as Can, Neu!, Faust, ADII, Cluster etc... we all know they're great and to be honest half of Can's discography alone would probably make my top 10.

And Lee - checked out Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. Whilst I prefer their first it is in it's own right a pretty stonking album.

^ Nice list dude, plenty stuff there I'll need to check out. Not even heard of half of it. Cosmic Jokers and Popul Vuh are good picks though!
