I WANT MORE MUSIC LIKE..... (krautrock and experimental folk fans unite)

do you have Black Dice's Beaches & Canyons?

Also, miles davis' in a silent way and tribute to jack johnson.

Earthless - Sonic Prayer (instrumental San Diego trio. This is more of a classic rock sound, but the structure is improvised/open ended)

Damo Suzuki and Cul de Sac - Abhayamudra (a worthy companion to Tago Mago)

Fly Pan Am - 1st s/t (minimal, beautiful, obsessively repetitive, much reverb)

Popol Vuh - Letzte Tage Letzte Nachte (comes close to a new age style sometimes, but it's a great album that transcends genre)

Workshop - Es liebt Dich und Deine Körperlichkeit, ein Ausgeflippter
is something else in this vein that I don't see mentioned around here enough.

and the contemporarily reissued karuna khyal alomoni 1985 album.

seconding the paradieswaarts duul recommendation and adding the s.y.p.h. album - i think it's the third one from 1981 - with the longer, weirder jams onit.

oh, and sergius golowin for the folk side.

Ditto! Weird. I'm glad to see live/dead make the suggestion list as well, as I've been trying to find a copy of that all weekend (which wouldn't be difficult, one would think).

if you like hangman's beautiful daughter and those two animal collective albums, it seems like youd love 5000 spirits... by ISB, and it also seems like youd love AC's sung tongs, but i have to imagine youve heard sung tongs, if youve heard the others. the best precursor to some of the animal collective stuff is the holy modal rounders' indian war whoop. also, ive FINALLY listened to wooden guitar today, and it ruuuuuules.

Pete - I've heard quite a bit Animal Collective, and everything by ISB, and I don't hear the connection (although I've read plenty about the connection). What should I listen to side by side? Or is the connection less literal than I'm making it out to be?

Franco Leprino - Integrati...Disintegrati (think Animal Collective in acoustic mode doing breezy instrumentals + synths)

Cosmic Jokers - Planeten Sit-In (spacier aspects of your list)

Makoto Kawabata - Jellyfish Rising (softer, trippier side of your criteria)

Ash Ra Tempel - Inventions for Electric Guitar (ditto)

Steve Reich - Drumming (like Vooredoms minus electronics or vox)

L.Voag - The Way Out ("Bedroom" practically is an Animal Collective song)

This sounds too good to be true! I love the first several Veloso albums but never heard this one.

i think you can go into the pentagle realm. but yr bound to hate someof it.

Argh

Tom Ze's Todos Os Olhos is similar but more songy and less experimental than Araca Azul.

Alice Coltrane - Journey to Satchidanda
Herbie Hancock - Sextant, Mwandishi
John McLaughlin - My Goals Beyond
Pharoah Sanders - Thembi, Tauhid
Lonnie Liston Smith - Astral Traveling

And maybe that Sonny Sharrock LP on Three Dudes with Beards??
--Wither and Westrupp?
--Holderlin?
--the Akron/Family collab. with M. Gira?

when they attribute the organ playing on "will the circle be unbroken" to Flea, what exactly do they mean?

Not really

Holderlin?

No

Also maybe Tunng?

The Tape lps sound to me like vaguely folky/pastoral krautrock with lots of field recordings.

James Yorkston said he wanted his music to sound like a cross between Can & Planxty, which on paper fits your needs pretty well. The results don't quite live up to that, though maybe his last CD on Fence was getting there.

Was going to reccommend the Pat Kilroy Light Of Day & New Age All Around cds after reading through this thread anyway. Now I've read that description I think they might fit it a bit better though the Ethnic ingredient is more raga than sean nos. Kilroy was of Irish extraction though, not sure if it shows through at all on either lp.

There's a great lp by a singer/multi-instrumentalist called sylvia Moore that i really must have another go at ripping. A mix of traditional Northern English folk songs played on instrumentation like kora and other mainly african stuff. i picked it up cheap in the miscellaneous section of my old local second hand record shop years ago.

There's also odd bands like Long Fin Killie , Bugblot, Butterfly Child, A.R.Kane and Disco Inferno (1st lp at least) & possibly 3 piece era Bark Psychosis that I'm reminded of by reading this thread.

plus Popul Vuh, Kalacakra and a few others, maybe the solo David Crosby lp's less rocking bits & Mu too
