Ash Ra Tempel Experience Feat. Manuel Göttsching, Ariel Pink, Oren Ambarchi, Shags Chamberlain

German first press 2017. New, unsealed.
Yes, that’s a real lineup, not the result of pulling names out of a hat. Göttsching revisits the Ash Ra Tempel universe with a crew that somehow includes Ariel Pink and Oren Ambarchi, and the result is… surprisingly glorious. Cosmic kraut grooves, spacey improv, fuzzy freakouts, and moments of genuine transcendence tangled up with absolute madness. Half holy ritual, half “how did this even happen?” but completely worth it. FFO: Ash Ra Tempel drifting through 50 years of psych history, Acid Mothers Temple trying to behave, Ariel Pink getting lost in a synth, and anyone who secretly wishes every gig had a 25-minute jam.
