Nigel points to a neat resource online, The Krautrock Album Database, which purports to be an exhaustive reference to German experimental rock of the late 60s and 70s. The database includes mp3 clips from Krautrock albums.

Last Monday, I caught Metal Machine Musik a Krautrock documentary made especially for the Alamo Drafthouse Downtown. Student films and TV appearances comprised most of the movie, which was tied together with historical detail. I would have rather watched the music clips. I've read Julian Cope's Krautrocksampler several times, and I feel well informed about the music, and it seemed that most of the audience were also Krautrockgeeken. Some of the narration seemed factually wrong, and there were historiographic problems throughout. Despite the narrator verbally sprinting between clips, I enjoyed myself thoroughly.
