More great stuff from John N!

(scott) While I am working hard on the enormous Electric Orange post that John N has sent me the material
for, I wanted to sneak in ANOTHER fabulous submission of his, a totally amazing 2012 Krautrock comp, which actually does include some Electric Orange (consider it a preview), but also covers of great shit such as Amon Duul II, Can, Kraftwerk.....need I go on? You want this, and this one is one of those that a copy/paste serves us much better than anything I could write up.
