Krautrock No. 13: Ash Ra Tempel - Join Inn

Bit of a tricky decision, here, especially given that I've had this album for two or three years now and never particularly liked it. The influence of the untrammeled ambient magnificence of Agitation Frei's "Looping IV" pushes me towards the "cosmic drifting Schulze synthesizer-dominated" b-side of the lp, even though Schulze's Timewind is another platter that never did much for me over the years. More drifting than kosmiche says this jury.

Ash Ra Tempel - "Jenseits"

Good call on this side, sir. We've had plenty of the guitar freakery over the last couple of posts, so it makes sense to catch up with their driftier side. Gottsching would pursue this side of their sound with the loping, synthier Ashra stuff.
