Schwingungen

Authorized 50th anniversary edition of one of the most important German krautrock albums. Re-cut carefully overseen by Manuel Göttsching himself. Gatefold sleeve with sticker. Includes original release sheet and inlay. Born out of the late 1960s Berlin underground, Ash Ra Tempel began as a trio featuring Klaus Schulze of Tangerine Dream and the brilliant guitarist Manuel Göttsching. Though they only released a handful of albums before disbanding in 1976, their legacy as one of the most inspired “kosmische musik” groups is undisputed
Schwingungen – the second Ash Ra album originally released in 1972 – blends West Coast psychedelia a la Love with Stooges-esque freakouts, phased guitar experimentalism and the funkiness of German contemporaries like Can into a indelible mix all their own. This is, hands down, one of the greatest albums to come out of the 1970s German scene.
