There are (at least) 3 artists called Spacecraft. 1) Formed in mid-seventies, Spacecraft was a french space-electronic band. They released their album ‘Paradoxe’ in 1975 This guitar/synth duo [Yvan Coaquette (guitar), John Livengood (keyboards, effects)] hails from France, but they're pretty well in cahoots with your krautrock superstars. There's plenty of early Tangerine Dream synthetic iciness and Manuel Gottsching-style guitar insanity lurking in these tracks.
