JOIN INN

My favorite album by Ash Ra Tempel (their debut comes next..). Basically the same format as their eponymous debut but Freak n' Roll is more interesting to me than "Amboss" and "Jenseits" more compelling, reflective and emotive than Traummaschine. It is strange that "Freak n' Roll fades in, but it doesn't feel like it matters. Much better production/sound and more polished than their debut, though with a slightly leaner and more refined sound. Klaus Schulze is back on this album, well on "Freak n' Roll". "Freak n' Roll' is an outward cosmic journey while "Jenseits" is an inward spiritual journey. Very highly recommended!
