ASH RA TEMPEL

Amazing album by a great band - the atmosphere they manage to create is incredible. The first song Amboss is heavier than the dreamy Traummaschine but both are equally good. They remind me of early Pink Floyd and Hawkwind, mixed with the long improvised Krautrock improvised jams.

I prefer this over most of their later work as Ashra as it is much more guitar driven hard rock than the synth laden Ashra albums, so if you prefer their harder side begin with this album and the other early albums (and also their 2000 reunion album gin rose)
