From the archive: Ash Ra Tempel live in Melbourne 2017

Manuel Göttsching's Ash Ra Tempel Experience performed at Melbourne's Festival Hall in February 2017, a full-album concert captured by the Almanac 9000 channel. The set revisits the project's early 1970s landmarks — the self-titled debut, Schwingungen, Seven Up — with Göttsching's signature guitar-synth interplay at the centre, supported by a rhythm section that honours the original motorik pulse while adding weight. The 2017 Melbourne show came four decades after Ash Ra Tempel's studio prime, yet the music's hypnotic drift and cosmic reach remain undimmed. For listeners tracing the krautrock lineage from its source, this recording is a direct line to the genre's most luminous guitar voice, documented in a venue that matches the music's scale.
