From Kraftwerk to Can to AKA

Looking at the box set wall at AKA. Motorhead. Nuggets. Pet Sounds.

They caught my eye. Not a box set. Remastered compact discs.

More Krautrock.

I was interested. Building on Kraftwerk. And to a greater extent. Can.

It seemed darker. I had no reason to believe this. Beyond the name. I had never heard them.

This was a couple of year ago. One of those bands that I wanted to buy. But never got around to it.

For Christmas 2007 those were the compact discs I asked for. The should have discs. But didn't discs.

Finally. Soft Machine. The Easybeats. Sparks. And Faust.

All long overdue.

I have a new list. In my head. Neu. Hawkwind. Gong. Magma. Another time. Another Christmas.

Faust - Faust / So Far. Christmas 2007. From Andrew. For Matt. For Mike D.
