Indigo was a German progressive rock ensemble active during the late 1970s and early 1980s, primarily known for their trilogy of albums: 'Meer der Zeit' (1977), 'Angel im Gras' (1979), and 'Herbstwind' (1980). They occupy a unique space in the Krautrock/German Prog ecosystem, moving away from the experimental electronics of the Berlin School or the rhythmic drive of Can toward a more symphonic, pastoral art-rock sound.
Their work is characterized by high-quality analog production, featuring prominent use of synthesizers, flute, and melodic guitar work. Lyrically and aesthetically, the band was deeply tied to themes of nature and the passage of time, as evidenced by their album titles. While they never achieved the international fame of Eloy or Tangerine Dream, they are highly regarded by collectors of European progressive rock for their consistent atmosphere and melodic sophistication. Their career arc shows a gradual refinement of this 'nature-prog' aesthetic before the project dissolved in the early 80s.
