Before Kraftwerk coalesced as a band, they were called Organisation. You can tell where their influences mutated from.
Progressive Rock

[Music] F.G. Experimental Laboratory – Journey Into A Dream (1975)
Fine Kraut from the Swiss project F.G. Experimental Laboratory, the alias of organist Fredy Guye.
[Music] Grupa Marina Škrgatića – Čežnja
Grupa Marina Škrgatića are one of a score of magnificent groups which came out of the former Yugoslavia who produced music of ridiculously high quality. As usual, there’s little information in English about the band, so it’s best to use Chrome or Firefox and see if you can translate this.
[Music] Les Big Byrd – Anywhere But Here
A new name for me, Les Big Byrd are a modern psychedelic music band which reminds me terribly of the legendary Krautrock band Neu!
Rustichelli & Bordini – Opera Prima [1973]
Paolo Rustichelli and Carlo Bordini were two musicians from Italy who formed a progressive rock group out of the ashes of a band called Cammello Buck. Truly operatic in a sense, with powerful keyboard work. A treasure of Italian prog!
[Music] Peace & Love – Tijuana
Peace & Love were a psychedelic rock/garage band out of Mexico. There isn’t much available about the band in English, but for those who can handle Spanish, this website gives a nice synopsis of their career.
[Music] Isihia [Исихия] – Lord I Called Thee [Господи Возвах]
[Music] Boomerang – Mirage (Kazakhstan/USSR, 1986)
Another Soviet ethno-jazz project of high quality. Boomerang hailed from Kazakhstan, and this particular album is considered their rarest.
