Read an interview with first generation krautrockers and many will mention the first Pink Floyd (then still The Pink Floyd) album The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn as an influence. And it's not difficult to hear.
It's kinda ironic that these German artists who didn't want to reproduce anglo-saxon examples fell in love with a British band that was named after two American blues musicians. But listen to this legendary debut album and you understand the appeal of The Pink Floyd.
It was the sole album that the band recorded with their founder, Syd Barrett, who was not only the singer and guitarist but also the main songwriter.
