65. Ash Ra Tempel VI Manuel Gottsching - Inventions For Electric Guitar
Echo Waves 17:45
Quasarsphere 6:35
Pluralis 21:35
(Recorded July-August 1974 - Released 1975)
Manuel Gottsching - guitar.
Buy this album if only for the pure beauty of Quasarsphere, trippy and kosmischely dreamy. Echo Waves builds upon wave upon wave of guitar echoes - the last five odd minutes of such becoming a joy. Pluralis sounds today very simple in its echoey construction, however it is like a long car journey along a never ending concrete road. You cross over and under bridges, the flat scenery changes little by little into a city outskirts at night and you come across heavy congestion but you never really reach a destination. Perhaps it is a return trip - Shrimp
This is Manuel Gottsching left to his own devices, which in this case means just on guitar! The record is extraordinary because Manuel only played the guitar, recording on 4 channels, though. The result is a Krautrock - guitar album without any drums, bass and the likes. Check out 'Quasarsphere' - a piece to dream to... - by Wah-Wah.

Le Diable Dans La Maison 2:54
...Et Les Fantomes Revent Aussi 7:56
(Recorded 1975 - Released 1993)
Manuel Gottsching - guitar, organ, rhythm computer. Lutz Ulbrich - guitars, synthesizer.
An ethereal film soundtrack and very cosmic it is too. It appears on first inspection to be one of those later Ash Ra Tempel (or Ashra) albums that can be easily overlooked, and most ot them deserve it, however if Le Berceau De Cristal had been released when it was actually recorded back in 1975 I'm sure that it would have got the recognition of being right up there with the very best. Here Manuel is joined by ex-Agitation Free member Lutz Ulbrich and they are well matched. If you like kosmische musik then you need this album in your collection. It is a classic which should not be missed.
67. Manuel Gottsching Ash Ra Tempel (Ashra) - New Age Of Earth
Sunrain 7:28
Ocean Of Tenderness 12:36
Deep Distance 5:46
Nightdust 21:50
(Recorded March-June 1976 - Released 1976)
Manuel Gottsching - keyboards, synthesizer, guitar.
This is Manuel Gottsching at his best. After quite a funky start (Sunrain), the following three pieces make you feel like a leaf which is falling softly from a tree. The phased string sounds and the gentle guitar of Ocean of Tenderness make you forget that you are immanent. This record is really an out-of-body experience. For people who want to drown themselves in musical waves. Definitely a new age of listening to music and feeling music. - by Wah-Wah.

Sounding like nothing they released either before (their first 2 wildly experimental albums) or after (their successful and more song-oriented album, “Autobahn”), “Ralf & Florian” is probably Kraftwerk’s least-discussed album, and where the “bachelor” theme that would become so predominant in their music graduated from Gilbert & George to Marcel Duchamp in an electronic garage band. “Elektrisches Roulette” opens with a great wooom wooom indigestion/fart synth into a spindly electronic melody reminiscent of the “Gilligan’s Island” theme as the chatter and clatter of the roulette wheel is burst into with strident-yet-totally-fake Klaus Dinger drums. It’s all light and dance until it dribbles off into the fresh air flutes and low drones of the brief “Tongebirge”. It crossfades into the motorik “Kristallo”, which is aptly-named as the electronics are crystalline and refreshing. Then Kraftwerk reverse it, and it’s all backwards until the fade out. “Heimatklange” is all becalmed - quiet piano and echoey flutes channel over a quiet inlet, which ends ends one. Side two is 2 songs: “Tanzmusik” and “Ananas Symphonie”. “Tanzmusik” is dance music, though a low-volume, dimly-lit party thrown by Ralf and Florian for their friends. The drum machine switches on a little too late, and percussion starts to gather. The tinkly bells and xylophones from their Organisation days are all brought out, but hit lightly and sparingly. Vocal drones come and go, sandpapery percussion enters until it all breaks down. “Ananas Symphony” (“Pineapple Symphony”) is a three-part suite of rhythm boxes, Hawaiian guitars, early Roxy synth of lapping waves, but approached about as spare as the walls of their Kling Klang studio. This is the most chilled-out territory Kraftwerk ever approached, and the last part is probably as un-Kraftwerk (any era) as they ever got. Glacial synth drones balance Florian’s Hawaiian guitar and chugging rhythm box relays a textured background rather than anything resembling a rhythm pattern. But the chilled synthesizer and H-guitar continue to enmesh gently over a cool and clear Pacific morning like a quiet love letter. Then it gradually fades, the end of the most curious Kraftwerk album of all! The back cover features a CLASSIC shot of the pair seated, facing each other over their respective banks of equipment dressed to the nines with a signature traffic cone behind them, neon lights spelling out their names in front of them. And the front cover features a gold embossed transistor map with the log and title embossed in hot pink (the American sleeve opted for a black and white portrait of the two, echoing their later “Trans Europe Express” sleeve). Original copies also came with a Pedro Bell-esque “Musicomix” by Emil Schult and is a howl and a half. - by The Seth Man.

Though this might not necessarily have been Tangerine Dream's finest hour, it is still a good tune compared to other music. The title track is the best one, which is almost always the case when Tangerine Dream release a new album. It generates a beautifully mystic atmosphere before Edgar Froese's guitar solo shifts the piece into a different direction. The other three songs are not really worth being mentioned, but as I said 'Green Desert' alone makes this album a good one. For Fans. - by Wah-Wah.

Once upon a time, Edgar Froese said about Alpha Centauri that it was dedicated to 'all people who feel obliged to space'. But that is true for the title track of Phaedra as well. It is the perfect music for sci-fi fans. Apart from that, its sequencing paved the way for what is known as the 'Berliner Schule' of electronic music. The other three pieces are not necessarily cosmic but catch different moods: Phaedra is not only for people who feel obliged to space but for all fans of electronic music. Find out yourselves! - by Wah-Wah.
In 1981, I believed this to be the trippiest album I had heard in my life. I came to this conclusion after I traded in a pile of second rate space rock like “Oxygene”, “Video Magic” and all the solo Vangelis I owned, plumping the proceeds towards the then-recently released T-Dream “70-80” box set. It included nothing off “Electronic Meditation”, and side one was a quick sampler of “Alpha Centauri”, “Zeit” and “Atem” too brief to give me any real impressions of their formidable qualities at the time, unfortunately. But side two included the first and last tracks off “Phaedra”, and they were so out there, I immediately scored the entire album soon afterwards. This was Tangerine Dream’s first release on Virgin, and it heralded the beginning of their shift in musical direction, a scenario played out over and over again by almost all progressive bands of the seventies. As time began to slip closer and closer to the eighties, newer keyboard and recording technologies would see these same bands (all of whom had previously lumbered through earlier LPs with freakstorms of mellotron, organ and early VCS3 synthesizers) tone down entirely, change to overt pop or zip through the stratosphere on their battery of “improved” equipment that altogether changed the sound and feeling of their keyboard-based into wimped-out luxury Yamaha, Roland or birotron hurdy-gurdy doldrums. But “Phaedra” was the only place where the presence of sequencing synthesizers were used in harmony with the mellotrons and previous keyboards that created space-outs as lush and epic as some of their later Ohr pieces. It did begin a trend where T-Dream’s sequencer use would become so relied on that by the late-seventies, Trouser Press’ satirical “Believe It Or Don’t!” column featured a report of the world’s longest concert: the one where Tangerine Dream forgot to unplug their sequencer weeks after a concert! “Phaedra” features an Edgar Froese blue and grey painting on the cover, and it captures the overall mood of this synthesizer and mellotron-dominated album: mysterious and diffusive. And the gatefold features ten further Froese psychedelic, light show blob paintings, one of them a disturbing photograph of his then young son, Jerome, drowning in a sea of maroon and blue ectoplasm. The title track is a group composition, taking up side one in its entirety as pulsating and diffusive synthesizers emerge. Then, their brand new sequencer starts up all rigid and echoed as crystal synthesizer patches pass by, twinkling like stars. Soon, only the sequencer remains and mutates into the dominating role as mellotrons waft in and out. Then a three-way mellotron/Moog/sequencer cross talk builds then falls away, leaving Froese playing a repeating surf guitar riff to nowhere as the sequencer returns, picking up speed and pinning you to an undetermined axis in space. Plenty of synthesizer tunnelvision ensues, all trancey and dominated by the unswerving sequencing. As it funnels into inner space, low, low moog chords rumble as lightly touched, reverberated synths dance with further electronics. VCS3 frills and modulated sizzle-Moog appear, and the sequencer labyrinth becomes higher pitched and slowly speeds up, followed by more knob-twiddling sizzling and it’s quickly becoming a dance on the edge of a precipice …on and on until it dissolves into a galaxy of atomic particles and all is “aaaaaaaaaaaahhhh.” All that is left is a desolate universe of unearthly caws in the echoed distance, looming closer and closer until the majesty and power of Froese’s mellotron creates a hymnal at the beginning of the universe, a wonderously huge choral that is accompanied by echoed, singly hit chords that operate more like marimbas. The ending sequence is a mellotron-dominated swell-out depicting a deserted beachscape of power, beauty and neglected hope. Then a final coda of mellotrons draw the curtain…until a delayed resurfacing where schoolchildren can be heard playing on a sunny day through the opposite side of a puddle. The classical Greek myth of Phaedra, daughter of Minos, dying by her own hand after her love was rejected by her stepson, Hippolytus, was one of pure tragedy. But leave it to T-Dream to wind up stressing a hopeful end, by the slight return of the schoolchildren voices, perhaps representing her two surviving sons. Side two is broken into three pieces: “Mysterious Semblance At the Strand of Nightmares”, “Movements of A Visionary” and “Sequent C’”. “Mysterious” is just that: all massed mellotron storm clouds with VCS3 knob-twiddling in a place where the only rhythms are amplified sequencers or carbonated synth-fizzing. The opening goes on until it even slips into a phrase from the opening track of “Clockwork Orange”, all swelling and phase-shifted beyond all reasonable-ness. Perfect. “Movements of A Visionary” is full of synthesizer exercises evocative of crabs scuttling across a huge ocean bed, whorls of sand and sea dust kicked up by the shuddering electro-vibe. “Sequent C’” is the finale, wistful but not entirely sad, and winds up diffusing itself into eternity in the fade. And yet, something even stranger underlies all of second side--it was accidentally mastered backwards. - by The Seth Man.
