    Ashra/Ash Ra Tempel

    Share
    Facebook Twitter Pinterest WhatsApp Reddit Email

    Classically trained guitarist Manuel Göttsching started his career under the name Ash Ra Tempel in 1970.

    The most shamelessly psychedelic of the Kraütrock bands, their line-up fluctuated until, by the time of their New Age Of Earth album in 1977, there was only Göttsching and a huge bank of machines.

    If The Grateful Dead were teenagers in 1970s West Germany, this is how Dark Star would have sounded.

    On the eve of a 1981 tour, Göttsching was tooling around in the studio with a piece of music to listen to on the plane. The result – an undulating chug called E2 – E4, adorned with treated guitars, watery plops and chirruping synths – languished in a cupboard for three years before becoming a club favourite and later, thanks to a cover by Italian house heads Sueno Latino, a Cafe Del Mar chill-out anthem.
