## What 3 lists say

### No. 8 in [Krautrock](https://waxonia.com/genre/krautrock/)

One hour, one sequence, one guitarist improvising over it in a single take. Sueño Latino lifted it, Balearic DJs adopted it, and it accidentally became the bridge from kosmische to the dancefloor.

### Picked by [The Waxonia Desk — Krautrock](https://waxonia.com/selection/the-desk-krautrock/)

The one the dancefloor heard, ten years late and via an Italian bootleg. An hour of one sequence, and the moment kosmische stopped being something you sat down for.

### Picked by [The Waxonia Desk — The Hundred](https://waxonia.com/selection/the-desk-the-hundred/)

One hour, one sequence, one guitarist, one take. Ends this list because it is where half of it accidentally began.
