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:

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...
