I was discribing Tago Mago when i was talking about Dissonance and Atonallity... And it had a bigger impact in the world of Kraut i believe.
Ege Banyasi is great, but it's a bit out of character for Can... It IS more rhythmic and melodic than Tago, but it's still full of random improvisitations... Ege is full of excessive soloing, especially from Karoli, Czukay and Schmidt.
I'm not saying Krautrock is worse than prog, just that i don't see how Kraut bands like Can are any less wanky than UK prog bands, who just had a little more skill, which apparantly makes them worse and not as hip i guess.
