Someone had to say it: Tangerine Dream

Another one for Man Machine,
Slight hijack - I have a kraftwerk shaped hole in my collection. Is there a decent compilation/compendium to get me going.
And Jarres zoolook was revolutionary in the day, though I think the ambient track on waiting for cousteau is overlooked.

[url= http://r2.err.ee/l/horisont ]http://r2.err.ee/l/horisont[/url] That and you can giggle like a school boy each time he name checks the station in Estonian.

@the purist The Mix is a good Kraftwerk compilation. Also recommend Transeurope Express, and Tour de France

If I was to file Screamadelica in either rock, alternative/indie or electronic, it would be be the latter, just because the Weatherall tracks make the album.
