ECHO

This album is quite a masterpiece and a very lucky find. This was one of the most rare prog albums i have bought but well worth the search. The only place i could find it was on Doug Larsons imports. AR and machines is similar to Ash Ra Tempel, cosmic jokers, and Tangerine Dream in their style but the added bonus of some spacey psychedelic lyrics are a true treat that make AR such a joy to listen to. The sound scapes are beautiful and sure to take you on a glorious trip. I would go so far as to say AR and machines is the best spacey drawn out sound scape band in the krautrock genre (which places it at the top of all sound scape bands). If I listened to AR before all of the other aforementioned bands, I really don't think I would have appreciated their work nearly as much.
