Krautrock

Any fans of the experimental psychedelic rock/folk bands from Germany in the 60s/70s? I've had these sitting on my ipod and am starting to listen to them more recently, and it's some really cool stuff.

I like some Krautrock but wouldn't consider myself a huge fan. A lot of it is too aimless and meandering for me so I tend to lose interest. The main ones I like are CAN (only the Suzuki era), Amon Düül and Ash Ra Tempel. I've heard some Faust and Neu! but they never really clicked with me.

I also listen to Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze's solo work but only to stuff released after they ventured into electronic/ambient territory (Phaedra and onward) so that wouldn't really count as krautrock. I've actually never even heard their krautrock material. Is that worth seeking out?
