Among the heaviest and most legendary krautrock groups ever was Manuel Göttsching's Ash Ra Tempel. The original free-rock kosmik power trio, the group's collaborators include Klaus Schulze and Timothy Leary, and they also provided the psychedelic backbone for all of the Cosmic Jokers albums. Schwingungen was the second Ash Ra album, and is as good a place as any to start exploring the far-out realms of the Tempel.
I couldn't find footage of the band in action, but their music is very popular for making psychedelic fan videos -- here's "Suche Und Liebe" from this album. By the mid-70's the group had basically become a solo vehicle for Göttsching under the shortened name Ashra -- here's a video for "Midnight On Mars". Göttsching 's 1984 solo album E2-E4 is also a classic "kraut" album, and a forerunner of modern electronica. Ash Ra Tempel's original drummer Klaus Schulze also went on to become a legend of electronic music as a solo artist.
