band's info

Essentially the same project as Ash Ra Tempel, Ashra was Manuel Göttsching continuing solo, adding synthesizers to his instrumentation. Manuel also worked in collaboration with many other musicians, including sessions with ex-Agitation Free members Lutz Ulbrich and Michael Hoenig, and in concert with ex-Wallenstein drummer Harald Grosskopf. Some sessions from this period have only appeared as official releases recently, namely the ethereal LE BERCEAU DE CRISTAL film soundtrack, the RIAS radio session DREAM DESIRE, and the Hoenig · Göttsching jam EARLY WATER.
The first two albums released as Ashra at the time were entirely solo, showcasing Manuel's great talent as a multi-instrumentalist, firstly with the cosmic and sequential NEW AGE OF EARTH which showed much Klaus Schulze influence along with unique new way of using sequencers, and then the energetic guitar riffing BLACKOUTS.
Soon Ashra became a proper group. Yet, as a trio, Ashra became far less easy to pin down, CORRELATIONS had an uneasy commerciality, and they almost bordered on disco music on one track of the unevenly balanced BELLE ALLIANCE, yet Ashra still ventured onto more experimental realms. Unique documents of Ashra live in 1979 feature on THE PRIVATE TAPES, showing how many different ideas were at play, attempting an uneasy balance between commercial accessibility and experimentation. This schizophrenic incarnation split and reformed numerous times, and all musicians have recorded solo works and worked in collaboration with other people since. Of the later Ashra albums, the most innovative was WALKIN' THE DESERT which ventured onto new uncharted territory of systemic and weird sound-sampling music, proving Ashra to be just as innovative as they ever were. The more recent SAUCE HOLLANDAISE and @SHRA document the 1997 live band, but have a more lively techno edge, mainly down to new member Steve Baltes.
The 2000 recordings by the duo of Göttsching and Schulze were released as Ash Ra Tempel, but musically were much closer to the collaborations on Klaus Schulze's own IN BLAU, not at all like real Ash Ra Tempel! We consider these as Ashra albums.
As an alternative history of Ashra THE PRIVATE TAPES (compiled by Klaus D. Mueller), features solo works by Manuel Göttsching, and concerts by the Ashra trio. All the music is previously unreleased.
