Organisation - "Tone Float" (1969)

Organisation was the immediate predecessor of the band Kraftwerk.

Their first and only LP "Tone Float" bears little resemblance to their later electronics-dominated work and is closer to "traditional Krautrock". The Organisation album is basically instrumental, heavily oriented towards improvisation, features lots of hand percussion and shows more jazz and psychedelic influence than anything Kraftwerk would ever do. It was produced by Konrad "Conny" Plank.

The CD reissue includes an 11 minute bonus track, "Vor Dem Blauen Bock". This is not actually an Organisation track, but a 1971 live recording from the Beat Club TV show by a short-lived trio version of Kraftwerk, consisting of Florian Schneider plus Michael Rother and Klaus Dinger - the two guys who would split to form NEU! - It's not hard to see why those two left the band to go do their own thing, the basic NEU! blueprint is fully on display already here in 1971.
