”… we’re … talking about a band that didn’t bother rehearsing, began writing their own songs because they couldn’t play anyone else’s, thought prog-rock and punk were equally great in 1978, and cited Gerry Anderson’s television puppet shows, “Thunderbirds” and “Stingray”, as equal influences to that of Can and T. Rex.“ - Joe Tangari (Pitchfork.Com)

The 39 Clocks - "Psycho Beat"

German proto-postpunk (that's right, I said it). Picked up this cassette at Euclid Records in New Orleans and it's AWESOME. If Suicide and Chrome had a German tutor this is what he'd sound like. You can listen to the whole album here
