I bought After The Heat two weeks ago after seeing this documentary but have only given it one play yet. The Eno/Cluster collaboration was the - rather obvious - attraction. Like most Krautrock records, it most certainly isn't rock, the term is a clumsy and unfortunate misnomer. Likewise I have the Kraftwerk albums and similarly consider their studio-produced, electronic classicism quite a different thing from the barnyard-experimentalism that seems to be the roots of Krautrock. Otherwise have Can's Tago Mago, Cluster's Grosses Wasser and..ermm that's about it. Fortunately this documentary has given some pointers toward future exploratory music purchases.
