ASH RA TEMPEL - Join Inn LP

200 gram vinyl 50th anniversary edition.

Highly recommended.

On Ash Ra Tempel's third album we're introduced to Manuel Göttsching's longtime lovely girlfriend Rosi Mueller (who previously only had cameos on Schwingungen and Seven Up). And we get to hear the pleasure of Klaus Schulze back in the drumkit saddle. On this album he provides less drums and more keyboards than on the debut. 'Freak N' Roll' opens the album in typical heavy fashion. Schulze's trademark machine gun drumming technique comes to the fore very early this time - and one would almost expect them to outdo the phenomenal 'Amboss' from the first album. But they climaxed a bit too early and had to settle for Göttsching's unique guitar rambling combined with the Enke/Schulze energetic rhythm section to make it until the finish.
