What I love about Krautrock is that no two bands sound exactly alike, unless they share members. While this rules, it's hard to recommend records that definte the Krautrock sound.
I think starting with Faust IV is probably wise. Can's first few albums and the Can DVD are also probably good places to start. Everyone always brings up Neu!, but I think that all of Neu's releases pale in comparison to Harmonia's first release Musick Von Harmonia; everything about Neu! is present in Harmonia excpet it's all done with synth's and it's just magic. Amon Duul II fucking rules hard; Yeti and Tanz Der Lemming are my favorite. I've always thought of Xhol Caravan as being waaay underrated; I would look into their album Electrip.
It's a fun genre, get into it.
