Ash Ra Tempel were one of the more notable German Krautrock groups of the 70s and 80s. They were led by guitarist Manuel Göttsching, and also included former Tangerine Dream drummer Klaus Schulze at various points.
The group was originally founded by Manuel Göttsching and had its first release Ash Ra Tempel in June 1971.
Their music is widely characterized as spacey and psychedelic. The early albums all had one track per side, one more powerful and dramatic, the other of a more atmospheric nature.
Ash Ra Tempel’s first release is a classic of the space/cosmic genre but Schwingungen (1972) and Join Inn (1973) are supposed to be the essential works from the band.
Later, after recording the soundtrack Le Berceau de Cristal (1975 unreleased until the 90’s) Ash Ra Tempel changed name to Ashra, making a more melodic synthesizer based music. In the year 2000 the band was reborn. Joined by long-time colleague Klaus Schulze, the appropriately titled Friendship was released.
Manuel Göttsching has also recorded several New Age Music albums under the name Ashra including the New Age Music pioneering album, New Age of Earth.

Just recently discovered these guys but they're great. There's a local musician that's heavily influenced by these guys, he goes by Expo '70, except he's more drone-ish and doesn't sing. If you guys dig this and some of the ambient Brian Eno stuff you ought to check him out.

Great band. Their atmospheric songs (Traummaschine, Jenseits...) are like a trip to unknown worlds.

First album is ultimate. Powerful, frenetic, then subdued, and calming.

Le Bruit Des Origines is amazing. It's basically an extended version of Amboss!
