Thank you. I used my on-line dictionary and I found nothing. I don't have e good dictionary here (I'm supposed to be working...)

I only wanted to know if I had to get angry or not...

btw, Ashra is not only Manuel's pseudonym project, like Klaus also did with Wahnfried project... After a couple of solo albums (which are strangely either credited to Ashra or Ash Ra Tempel, albeit no such thing as Ah Ra Tempel existed at the moment!), Manuel hired Lutz Ulbrich and Harald Grosskopf, and later on a couple of other musicians for Ashra project... (You must know better than me, krauthead!) Well, it's a bit complicated, moreover the revival of the early Ash Ra Tempel in a reunion with Klaus Shulze in 2000!!! No wonder Manuel includes all Ash Ra Tempel / Ashra / MG solo albums in the same thread in the website!

However, I prefer Ashra (the later incarnation of the band), who produced an astonishingly beautiful string of albums between 1976 and 1980 to roaryg: try ash ra tempel's first or second, inventions for electric guitar, new age of earth or blackouts. if you want something even more similar to tangerine dream mid-70s albums get michael hoenig's departure from the northern wastelands, it's an absolute must. of course you should also try edgar froese's solo output (e.g. epsilon in malaysian pale and macula transfer) and klaus schulze.

I agree. I prefer Ashra to ART, too. New Age of Earth is Great

Ashra wich is mostly Manuel Göttsching freaking out in the studio and is in some places like Ash Ra Tempel but as the same time not.

Ashra is very similar with Tangerine Dream and to be mostly only Manuel Göttsching alone I must say he's doing that very good.

Ash Ra Tempel is not that close to the sound of Tangerine Dream, not IMO though... maybe the early Tangerine Dream.
