Ash Ra Tempel

Just an awesome drummer.

GY!BE fans will enjoy the intro!

things like 7up & Join Inn are really indulgent & I'm not into the Cosmic Jokers

"Fuck Jim Morrison's ridiculous 'Renaissance Man of the Mind' description.
That was just an excuse to be a fat slob.
That was just an existentialist knee-jerk.
No. No. No.
These freaks were fit. Superhuman. Superman."

I like just about any ART rekkid except for "New Age Of Earth" which just doesn't make it for me somehow, and that shit live in Japan thing where they fucked over their holy musick by putting raver kiddie fours over it. Fuck that shit. Yeah, fucking bin it, who the fuck wants to hear ash ra tempel with "fours" banging away. Wankers.

Who has that 6CD set from the '90's with all those early '70' freakouts on it? That was fucking great!!

hahahaha, Norm you rule!!!

I have that 6 disc set, there is some pretty insane stuff on there. I had to chuckle when I first listened to the FIFTY MINUTE early 70s thing on there and it FADED OUT at the end!! Like, just how much longer did they continue?? The mind boggles.

Haven't we done an Ash Ra poll yet? I thought we did but search doesn't produce anything

picked up inventions for electric guitar in sf…

"Ice Train" off of Correlations just climbs and climbs to infinity

Oh man good work Youtube

bionic

ordered this yesterday, looks dope

Xpost. Yeah. Waiting for mine as well.

I want that remix cd. Excited to hear the CFCF ARP and OPN mixes.

Last year Harald released a "Synthesist 2010" cd. Still waiting for my copy to arrive.

So Weit, So Gut is awesome

You know how every once in a while there is one of those classic records that remains undiscovered?

^^^^^^^^^^^

thanking you for the tip. I need some Ash Ra to get me through snowpocalypse.

Sounds like a challop but I say it with a straight face: this record >>> E2-E4

yeah ART is kinda perfect transcend snowpocalypse stuff

listened to 1st lp a few days ago...

i really like join inn. don't h8. first three are all unstoppable. i should never have sold my cosmic jokers records. times must have been tight i guess

Join Inn is awesome. The second track/side is all-time classic.

Manuel has remastered and re-issued the first five Ash Ra Tempel albums and Inventions For Electric Guitar on CD. I emailed him several weeks ago, and Manuel said that they will eventually be available on CDbaby. They're also now available at his website.

:-)

Hey:

http://www.factmag.com/2013/09/11/fact-tv-a-beginners-guide-to-manuel-gottsching-by-manuel-gottsching/

And finally we found – I forget his name, he later became one of the most famous German producers…Conny Plank, right, Conny Plank.

o_0 he forgot Connt Plank?

dude prob did a lot of drugs in those days, don't hold it against him.

I just heard about the live lp by Ash Ra Tempel Experience which was recorded in Melbourne in 2015. Manuel Gottsching was apparently booked to play a festival so got in contact with other people playing to become a pick up band.
It has Ariel Pink on bass and vocals, Shags Chamberlain on vocals and Oren Ambarchi on drums.
So I'm wondering how well it works as an lp.
Looks like the combo toured several festivals at the time. There are live clips up from London and Switzerland on youtube

don't remember hearing about that but may just not be remembering, have done other things in the last 4 years.

Manuel Göttsching has passed away. RIP.

That first Ash Ra Tempel album has an aura of mystery around it - it's not even clear how they're producing all the sounds. On top of that, it turns out that he was a teenager when he made it, just like 2/3 of Tangerine Dream at the time of Zeit.

yeah that album is absolutely wild. wish I could find a copy. haven't really connected with the others up until you get to New Age of Earth and so on.

thirded, the first album is truly inspired and a riveting listen

"Starring Rosi" isn't great - though it's not bad by any means - other than that...
