What was the band and title of the album?There was ';Krautrock'; band who released an album with what appeared to be a clothes peg on a washing line?
FORGET MY BABEL BELOW, HA HA!
It's Amon Duul II's 'Vive La Trance'! I don't know how the heck I overlooked the best known Krautrock band in the world!
I was checking all my obscure LP's, and it never dawned on me that it was this: http://tinyurl.com/224j29
Pig Man is a wicked song!
I've owned this album in various forms over the 30+ years, and I never really noticed the clothes line/peg thing before!
It's actually my favorite album by them too! Well, that's not entirely true, I think the last time I took a close look at what was going on on the cover was back in 1975 or something!
There was a band from the 70's who many people mistook for being a Krautrock band, as their music had a distinct Krautrock sound. They were called 'Far Out'. Only problem, they're not from Germany, they're from Japan. They also had a self titled album with peg holding a glove on a clothes line:

To me, Krautrock was a genre that started in the late 60's, and continued throughout the 70's.
80's and 90's German bands playing 'Industrial Rock', 'Ambient', or 'Post Punk' would not be considered 'Krautrock' in most circles.
At the moment I'm stumped. What's funny is the fact that I probably own the album, as I am a huge collector of all things Krautrock.
