My mp3 dealer (pirate) works hard these days! He uses SLSK (soul seek?) to share mp3's on the net. (I can't do that, not allowed at work, and don't have a personal computer!) He found almost the entire discographies of Faust, Embryo, Guru Guru and Kraan (few albums missing) Unfortunately he was lazy on Ash Ra Tempel. I still lack ASh Ra Tempel (debut), Seven Up and Gin Rose, along with many Ashra releases. MAybe he'll bring the private tapes one day... And I myself DL'ed the entire studio recordings of Can (with the exception of Cannibalism 3) from several russian mp3 sites... I'll dig deeper when I have money |

I only have one album, from the Ash Ra Tempel incarnation of this group: Starring Rosi. It's not bad, but I'd really like to get their other stuff. I suppose I like the Tangerine Dream influences I hear in them also, as I always liked the TD sound. Oh, and of course, there's that brilliant guitar player, what's his name?

Have you heard AINIGMA or RUFUS ZUPHALL? Those were the first German 70's rock I heard. I found their albums from local vinyl stores, where Little Wing of Refugees (the record label) pushed their material. I think there should be some mp3 streams for them. GÄA is also a great band, a bit similar to those. I discovered it by using this site! |

Fuss, it was nothing near fuss... I was happy that you knew so much... in some parts I was also kidding or more like joking a little bit... never ment in a bad way my friend... sorry Bilek that you took it the wrong way. 150+ CD mp3??? that wasn't bad Yes I believe I've got that many, maybe 50 more or less, I don't care wich... But then my life sucks hard, one of my few ups in life is 'krautrock' and without this and 'canterbury'... and my female I'm nothing, have nothing... true... not sad or so but it's honest and no fuss here also... Ok Bilek? |

Regrets!!!!! Krautrock is crap?!?!?!?!? seems you never raised your head off Iron Maiden and gave a listen to classic bands such as Can, Amon Düül II, some Tangerine Dream, or Faust. I understand if you're a Heavy Metal fan, and dislike krautrock, but being a progarchives forum member, I would expect you to appreaciate at least some of the material coming from these delightful bands... I didn't like the heavy emphasis on experimentalism at first (i.e. Can's Soup in Ege Bamyasi, as edited in Anthology) but it takes more than several spins to get used to it!!! break your eggshell, for heaven's sake!!!!! |

Gee, what's all the fuss about?!?!?!? I just said you must know better than me, and I was damn serious!!! 1800+ krautrock albums!?!?!?!? My entire discothéque cannot match up to that number (even if I include my 150+ CD mp3 archive)!!! |

I think "Gin Rosé" is also a nice live album! There's Manuel Göttshcing and Klaus Schulze improvising, but the sound is more softer that their early ASH RA TEMPEL works. The lack of drums also make it less aggressive. http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_CD. asp?cd_id=3587

"New Age of Earth" is one of the best records of all time for me!
Gottsching was one of the few musicians of that time (apart form Eno
and Kraftwerk) that knew seriously what to do with a drum machine...
The Detroit techno musicians (Derrick May, Carl Craig et al.) were absolutely in love with "E2 E4". There's even a european dance hit of the early nineties ("Sueño Latino") that was built from a sample from that record. |

I knew that picture from long ago and yes it is Ash Ra Tempel, but posting it here and talking about Ashra... I just hope he talked about Ash Ra Tempel then... Hmmm... maybe you know lots more than me Bilek, I'm not that deep into information conserning who was when, where and why and that kind of stuff. I'm so so when it comes to bandnames, release years and what country it came from, Ashra was mostly Göttsching, I didn't say he was alone... to say it this way: he is the one that make the sound good so if one don't like them you shall blame someone else than him. You seem to know some info Bilek and to be honest I think you'd beat me any day at: Who Wants To Be A Krautonaire? Anyhow, I have more than 1800+ kraut albums and you'll prolly know more than me about all of them, fine with me... then I'm happy for you Bilek, also proud to say the least |

The Ashra albums, particularly New Age of Earth and Blackouts (as DB pointed out) are as good as the German synth/guitar based prog ever got, and there's also the E2 - E4 and Inventions for Electric Guitar albums, plus things like The Private Tapes and The Making Of..., which hint at a huge backlog of unreleased material by Manuel Gottsching lurking in a vault somewhere. As good as Tangerine Dream were at their peak, Ashra produced much more subtle and finely nuanced albums using much the same set up. Essential for lovers of electronic prog.
