Julian Cope’s Krautrocksampler
September 16, 2025 at 8:44 PM
Now playing Zeit by Tangerine Dream. I’ve always loved Julian Cope’s piece about this album in his Krautrocksampler book. “Music that hangs in Deep-space. Songs the size of planets with titles the size of cities”. It really was at the birth of the whole Kosmische scene.

"The book was an epiphany in ’95, connecting so many dots and revealing so many must-haves that its publication helped cause a gold rush as fans began searching bins for records by bands Cope touts within."

In Krautrocksampler, his great book about German cosmic music, the musician, collector and writer Julian Cope describes the sensation of being a fan of Can, Neu!, Cluster, Amon Düül and other bands as their records were originally being released: “Albums were impossible to judge as they came out because they defied analysis alongside anything else but other Krautrock.” ...

discovered on the radio last night that if you layer @jeremyerwin.bsky.social's zz top/frank beard loop on top of the latest @steamroom.bsky.social release, it totally sounds like a late '70s LP julian cope overlooked for "krautrocksampler"

Can — ‘Future Days’
More misting-tent music. In ‘Krautrocksampler’, Julian Cope argues that Can “lose the plot” on side two of this one. Sir, with respect, you are out of your mind. A perfect album.

Hope you find something new

Is that in Krautrocksampler? Ive been meaning to read that

Bought this when I was 16 (like pretty much everything in Krautrocksampler). The one bass note shift Holger Czukay does in the middle of the title track is, pound for pound, my favourite moment in music. So minimal yet changes the whole scene set out in the song
'Future Days is the least well-known of the trilogy and the most cinematic. It is also their botanical album. This is not exotica, so much as the vernacular music of an undiscovered planet, less Les Baxter and more Ursula K Le Guin'

Special mention also for @iammilliam.bsky.social ’s memoir of books. What were the chances it would turn out to be only one of two (extremely different) books I read this year containing rhapsodies on Julian Cope’s long-out-of-print book KRAUTROCKSAMPLER?

Ik ken toevallig een mijnheer die daar een heel boek over geschreven heeft.

Happy to see this after coincidentally reading the Guardian’s review of @iammilliam.bsky.social’s Year of Reading Dangerously yesterday, in which the reviewer sniffily prodded Krautrocksampler with a haughty bargepole

Bet you’ve got Krautrocksampler too.

#MusicSky: like most sensible people, I've been wanting a copy of Julian Cope's Krautrocksampler for years. However, it'd be cheaper to build a time machine to go back to when it was in print in 1995. Does anyone know why it's only been reprinted once, apart from 'well, it's Copey'?

Ah, so this is the ‘extremely crap white gloves’ performance Julian Cope describes in KRAUTROCKSAMPLER.

I highly recommend she download pdfs of Julian Cope's Krautrocksampler, too.

Really enjoyed his books missed the boat on Krautrocksampler.

En relisant "Krautrocksampler" de Julian Cope (l'exégète anglais du rock psychédélique) je realise à quel point écouter du CAN m'avait manqué.
