Schoolyard friends Manuel Göttsching and Hartmut Enke loved the Beatles and the blues ... like everybody else in a Berlin rock band in the late '60s. But then they got hold of Blue Cheer's record and some blow-the-doors-off British amps. Soon wunderkind drummer Klaus Schulze was at their door, sniffing around the new equipment. Things were gonna get LOUD.
Ash Ra Tempel's soundquakes and soundscapes show off a dynamic range that is unmatched in Krautrock. Come join us as we talk about the band, with special attention given to their first two records.
Enter a world of anvils and dream machines, of universal vibrations and floral mortality. Enter ... the Tempel.
