8. Michael RotherFlammende Herzen
It’s a beautiful record. It’s the Neu/Can supergroup in a way with Jaki from Can on drums and Michael on guitar. It’s the pop end of Krautrock and sounds like Utopian sports montage music or something! It evokes the future, even still, for me or my idea of what the future would be at that time. It’s a record I listened to a lot in recent years and just a record that I really recommend.
I wouldn’t have heard any of this stuff until the early-1990s but it was something we listened to a lot of as the Super Furry Animals. I quite like listening to instrumental music as it means I can still think over it without lyrics interfering; there’s a time and a place for lyrics!
