Die Lösung - Amon Düül

One of the first active krautrock units, Amon Düül grew out of a commune in Munich, Germany that mixed radical political criticism with a unique vision of free-form improvisation tied to American psychedelic rock.

Meanwhile, the original Amon Düül continued releasing albums

Rip It Up - Orange Juice

Orange Juice were a Scottish indie pop band formed in Bearsden, Scotland, in 1976. Originally dubbed the Nu-Sonics, the group comprised vocalist/guitarist Edwyn Collins, guitarist James Kirk, bassist David McClymont, and drummer Steven Daly; following the formation of the Postcard label by Collins protégé Alan Horne, the quartet renamed itself Orange Juice in 1979, adopting the new moniker as well as an aura of romantic innocence as a direct reaction to the increasingly macho aggression of punk.
