Ash Ra Tempel isn't nearly my favourite krautrock album, but that doesn't make it any less good.


I agree on both accounts. Think I gave it 4,5 stars - but that's just numbers. Great album even if I prefer their sophomore release Join Inn, which follows the same 'structure' as the debut. One crazy rocker and a sombre and beautiful electronic piece.

BTW after you and others round this place have been singing Faust So Far's praises , including one of my fave reviewers Neu!mann, I decided to spin it again - and damn it if you guys weren't right. It's fast becoming a serious addiction. Thanks man.

Oh god, that album is f*cked. In fact, Faust is just f*cked in general. I only put those guys on when I'm really in the mood. Just bizarre.

I've never actually listened to Ash Ra. I love Krautrock, Can, Neu!, Kraftwerk, you know all that good stuff. But it's one of those genres I think I love more than I actually do. There's still a lot of ground I have to cover.

I's ultimately between Rock Bottom, Mixtus Orbis, and Ash Ra Temple for me.  Those albums have been really special to me.  I also like K.A. conisderably, but it's not a favourite album of mine.  Mixtus Orbis is certainly the one of these that I have spun the most over the last couple of years, but I have to give it to Rock Bottom which was an incredibly inflential/ important album to me on my musical journey.

By the way, I like that Cardiacs album considerably (haven't played it nearly as much as Sing to God), but I wish that a RIO album was leading the category.

In a few months or so, when maybe half of these albums would be different, we can do this poll again and include it.

I see for example that Robert Wyatt's album has already dropped to second place in Canterbury.

Thick as a Brick
Close to the Edge

Crime of the Century
Lateralus

In that order.

I like the even spread of votes so far - the leading album has less than 15% of the votes at the moment.

I love most of these albums, but given the fact that Clivage's masterpiece Mixtus Orbis hasn't received any votes, that's surely where I'm putting mineSax man

This is not your typical Indo raga rock though - not much is actually, a lot of folks just take it for granted that the entire sub sounds like Ravi Shankar on acidCry
Anyway, here's the opening cut - you decide for yourselves:
