ASHRA | New Age Of Earth - Expected Fri
UMCLP117
Tracklist:
First time this classic ambient LP has been reissued since 1984.
Guitarist and synthesiser player Manuel Gottsching formed Ashra after disbanding Ash Ra Tempel, the outfit he had led since 1971. Moving away from the space rock of his previous group, Ashra was a far more electronics-based project. Recorded in Berlin, between March and June 1976, the four pieces on the album represent the very best of what became known as Kosmiche: dreamily repetitive, glancing to the stars while keeping feet firmly on the ground.
Some cite its very title as helping introduce 'new age' music.
