In honour of Kraftwerk's Florian Schneider (1947-2020), we'll provide a mostly German rock-inspired episode featuring more of their earlier psych-out jams before the robots took over. Call it krautrock, kosmische musik, what-you-will...this is the late-1960s/early-1970s sound from West Germany that had the driving motorik beat.
