---Yeah, these might be my favorite TD albums, even if Julian Cope would
lynch me for saying so.
Even Stratosphere is pretty good; that's the latest I have.

---Woudn't that be all or most of the album?? :)

---I heard "Panorphelia" (from Aqua) on the Virgin Ambient comp and freaked;
subsequently picked up Aqua and Epsilon and didn't find anything on either to
match it (except for "it" itself :).

As for the first four albums--there are parts that I like love, but overall
have a hard time staying focused, esp Zeit...but having read that that's the
point, I'll continue to listen. One of those bands I've been obsessed
w/liking, trying ever so hard to do so; it sounds _good_ or "right" but
sometimes just fails to hit me where it counts -- in the gut.
BTW, is there a Krautrock e-mail mailing list? I assume so...
