Here's a short compilation to get this moving!(It's still almost an hour long though

)
Making compilations are a problem as most of the tracks are quite long and many of these sites have an 100 mb upload limit.

Anyways, some of it might be an obvious choice, but this is more of an Intro kinda thing.

Track Listing -

1. Hawkwind - Brainstorm - I guess they have a strong following here. Essential to say the least.

2. Eloy - Poseidon's Creation - Eloy were one of the lighter bands(most of their later material that is), but they do represent a different side of space-rock as well. Love those vocals!

3. Nektar - Astronauts Nightmare - A British band that took a lot of influences from krautrock. They did change their style as time passed, but their earlier releases definitely had a lot of spacey elements.

4. Ozric Tentacles - Spirals in Hyperspace - Ozric Tentacles are one of those bands where once you get into the groove, It's hard to stop listening.

5. Ash Ra Tempel - Amboss - The most compelling piece of music you'll ever hear. This one is HUGE, but is also 20 minutes long - definitely a challenge to sit through the entire thing. Yeah, It's krautrock alright, but this is just an Intro anyways.
