Krautrock #12: Ash Ra Tempel - Schwingungen

A year later and Schulze is gone, but now there are vocals, courtesy of a totally wird gent known as John L. A distinctly acquired taste, he sounds in parts on side one's "Darkness & Light" like he's paving the way for the ultimate acid freak vocals on Brainticket's Cottonwoodhill. As is becoming traditional, the comedown on the other side is far more sedate, with "Suche & Liebe" sounding distinctly like "Echeos"-era Pink Floyd, all floaty synths and stretched out Gilmour guitar. But before that, this thunders out...

Manuel Göttsching's website remains useful, but again our friends at Progweed have some things to say, as does the somewhat intense fellow whose fansite is extraordinarily exhaustive.

I'm incommunicado for a week or so, so our Eoghan has volunteered to stick up something from "Join Inn", which sees the return of Klaus Schulze. But will he choose "the raunchiest relentless wah-wah guitar rock freak-out ever" or the "cosmic drifting Schulze synthesizer-dominated" flip? Ah, decisions decisions.
