This shit [Circle - Aarre]

... is good.

Great stuff! Nice to see good Finnish bands mentioned here.
Circle is one of the most interesting new bands from Finland. Some of their music is great, but some parts of their albums are a bit boring to mee.
If you have a chance to see them live, go - it's a wonderful experience.

Here is Circle's discography.

You should also check Mika R??tt??'s other project/band, Kuusumun Profeetta. It's very beautiful music.

yeah circle is sick. their bassist is a fucking maniac and they are old. old people in bands is my favorite shit. circle is fucked up though, it's a lot sludgier when they play live like doom metal faust covers. avarus is another good finnish band along similar lines.

other new(er) krauty shit you might enjoy:

acid mothers temple / that space machine record which is like klaus schulze but good
music liberation front sweden
abunai!
ozric tentacles

acid mothers temple

i just saw they're playing a few times this month in the city. are they worth checking? they're one of the bands i've heard about but never actually listened to ... by all accounts they're good though.

Baikonour - For the Lonely Hearts of the Cosmos

It's a french guy who mostly works with electronic equipment, i think, but there's a lot of krautish stuff in it. The album was released this summer. It's fairly good. May be not outstanding, but it's good.

I think allmusic sums it well up:

It's an evocative enough title and the debut by one-man band Baikonour, aka Jean-Emmanuel Krieger, does its best to live up to it. The space race theme in band and album name, not to mention cover art, hits the ground running with the washes of feedback tone starting "Lick Lokoum," finding a midway point between proto-new age ?? la Ash Ra Tempel and Jean Michel Jarre, and more modern exponents of meditative drone. But right when you think this album is easily pegged, guest drummer Lee Adams brings in a combination soul/Krautrock stomp for "Coltan Anyone?." From there, For the Lonely Hearts of the Cosmos creates a collage of a '70s dreamscape that never quite was, mixing short fragments with longer compositions. Some of the huge guitar textures contributed by Etienne Rodes replicate the equally awe-inspiring work of Manuel Goettsching, but there's a careful, fluid variety in the core electronic arrangements by Krieger that keeps the album from being simple cloning. Song titles like "Rusk Plasmique" and "Oben Beg (Mk 2)" (easily one of the album highlights, as well) suggest a certain pan-European otherworldliness matched by the music, furthered by the hints of futuristic pastoral that crop up -- check out the simple but effective guitar melody at the heart of "Hoku to Shin Ken." Krieger's skill lies in part not only with his ear for good textures but in getting his guest performers to do their stuff -- thus, the familiar enough but still snarling guitar/drum jam at the heart of "Proto-Coeur" gives him a base to build on, and when a shimmering, heavenly drone cuts in and out of the mix, the effect is both beautiful and suddenly disorienting. "2/3/74" plies a similar path, with Krieger's keyboard parts and some buried, whisper-barked vocals finding a surprisingly effective halfway point between Stevie Wonder and Can.

I really like the recently released album by the Band AI from Düsseldorf. They got a very nice motorik thing going on similar to NEU!, Harmonia and La Düsseldorf. If you like the music, then you should be quick buying the album. It is limted to 300 copies and I'm sure it will be gone in no time.

This was a good bump. Considering this topic is like 10 years old. I think in 2016 we've had plenty of bands more or less re-hash Krautrock. Here's some good ones:
