Catalog #: SPA 14242
Gottsching, with Lutz Ulbrich, Harold Grosskopf, Mickie D, recorded in 1985 & finally released in 1991. By this point Gottsching was more into electronic keyboards and drum programming giving this a contemporary synthetic flavor that could be deadly for the uninitiated.

Title: Correlations
Label: SPALAX (FRANCE)
Format: CD
Price: $17.00
Catalog #: SPA 14590
"Correlations was recorded in 1978 by Manuel Göttsching with his Ash Ra mates: Harald Grosskopf (drums, synthesizer) & Lutz Ulbrich (guitar, string synthesizer, piano & mellotron). This album is a lot more groove orientated than the solo works of Manuel Göttsching. The arrangements are crazily modern (Massive Attack wouldn't deny the string arrangements), the sound is 'crystal clean'. Sleeve design by Hipgnosis."

Title: Ashra
Label: THINK PROGRESSIVE (GERMANY)
Format: CD
Price: $15.00
Catalog #: THINKP 026CD
Following the obscure live document Sauce Hollandaise comes a new live in Japan release, recorded in Osaka and Tokyo on the historic Ash Ra Tempel tour in Feb. 1997. The label's hype on this release refers to the group as Ash Ra Tempel as well, but only the word "Ashra" is actually found on the CD. The line up consists of Manuel Göttsching (guitar & keyboards, Lutz Ulbrich (guitar, e-bow, keyboards), Harald Grosskopf (drum kit and percussion) & Steve Baltes (sampling, keyboards and rhythm machine). They create a live variant on the proto-techno sound first initiated by Göttsching on E2-E4, and at its best (such as the 20-minute opening "Echo Waves"), the trance inducing power is still very much intact.
