Guru Guru. Are they any good? Somehow I've managed to hear next to nothing by them. I watched a few clips on YouTube- hairy spacey jamming (Acid Mothers Template, as I like to think of it) that in all honesty sounds much like a lot of other hairy spacey jamming I've heard- Ash Ra Tempel at their best were *the* band for this kind of stuff, the Guru Guru clips didn't strike me as all that special- maybe I've heard enough hairy spacey jamming for one lifetime? What do others think of them?

I only know some of the first recordings like "Ufo" (1970) and "Hinten" (1971) which are usually considered to be the best albums to know from them, and were released by Ohr (Kosmische musik...). In my opinion they're much more "heavy" than Ash Ra Tempel which are more into "acid rock" (alway imo...). Anyway this is a band to listen to, absolutely.

Interesting - I have heard the "UFO" album described as being like Black Sabbath on acid, which would suggest that 'heavier' sound to which you refer, though I didn't get that from the YouTube I watched.

Exactly. They're more "birth of metal through experimental walls of distorsion" than "raffinated kraut" ;).
But the fact they re german and released by Ohr, and connection with faUSt made them often "kraut"...
