I was just watching some youtube of Cope and was struck by the similarities with Bowie: the outsider craving an audience. but hating it when they got it; the desire for something 'outside'. They seem so close as artists?

The love of krautrock.

Speaking of kraut rock I just picked Harmonia's Deluxe up at the weekend , these damn things are always top wack £15.99 ! its a good un though ! Micheal Rothers stuff is always a treat ,and so influential on so many of our artists .

it's a stellar record ... one that was gifted me by a member of this very site along with a whole school of other krautrock discs.....i am eternally grateful.
