S/D: Manuel Gottsching's (Manuel Göttsching/ Ash Ra Tempel/ Ashra) Private Tapes

for the record i gave a quick listen to the box and here's my picks:

begleitmusik
deep distance
le bruit des origines
ultramarine
hausaufgabe

live stuff from the disco band is kinda disappointing to me tbh

These are all great choices but - call me a philistine - I wish he'd broken up "begleitmusik" into discrete tracks. There are some beautiful pillowy floating drones in the middle but I don't always have the patience to find them inside the 25 minute piece (which, as far as I can tell, is pretty randomly assembled rather than being an actual suite of related tracks). I don't remember if there are others like this, should revisit, but that one sticks out

I much prefer his ambient work. I recently listened to the first 4 Ashra albums and made this very satisfying playlist:

Sunrain (New Age Of Earth)
Ocean Of Tenderness (New Age Of Earth)
Deep Distance (New Age Of Earth)
77 Slightly Delayed (Blackouts)
Midnight On Mars (Blackouts)
Shuttle Cocks (Blackouts)
Ice Train (Correlations)
Oasis (Correlations)
Morgana Da Capo (Correlations)
Kazoo (Belle Alliance)

Manuel Göttsching has passed away. RIP.

:-(

Oh no!

Confirmed by a Berlin radio station just now:

Looks like the station is going to devote their Sunday evening Elektro beats programme to celebrating Göttsching's work.

Göttsching für immer…

Wow, I drifted fell sleep last night with Inventions for Electric Guitar playing. RIP.

been playing the hell out of Correlations this past year, what a magical body of work he's left us

RIP legend. Mourning to side 2 of Ashra's Belle Alliance

goddammit :(

rip king

a true heavy hitter, cosmic voyager, RIP <3

one of my all-time fav tunes is "77 slightly delayed" which i've found leads into a disappointing album experience w/ "blackouts" since it's all downhill from there imo

i agree w/ budo jeru's comment here, but only because that track is the all-time jam. i will be jamming it soon, to celebrate his newest cosmic voyage

I would like to shout out le berceau de crystal soundtrack from 1976, really beautiful stuff, maybe kind of reminiscent of some roedelius?

And Angelo Badalamenti on the same day, RIP.

Well I guess whoever is in charge of Gottsching’s estate has gotten their affairs in order because the major ART/solo/Ashra albums are on streaming sites now.

that's great news! no more listening to E2-E4 on youtube!
