Under-rated classic 24 Sep 2004
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
New Age of Earth is an often overlooked classic. It is fashionable to rate the early Ashra Tempel albums ahead of this, but to be honest this is a superior work - gone are the wilder experimental pieces and in their place are lengthy mood pieces. The sound is a glistening surface, underlaid with pulsing rhythms similar to mid period Tangerine Dream. Ideal music to carry you away somewhere else. When the guitar finally enters the music on 'Nightdust' it almost brings a tear to the eye.

Best album ever? 4 Aug 2002
Format:Audio CD
That hoary old chestnut - "what is your favourite album ever?". Much as I am averse to all that I must admit that this album is the one that always springs to mind. So - best album ever, then. Manuel Gottsching's synth and guitar work is exquisite throughout but reaches a climax on the final 21 minute cut, Nightdust. This seminal piece bridges the acid-fuelled freakout of the earlier Ash Ra Tempel and the more sedate meanderings of later Ashra but manages to combine the best of both. Leaves me with a shiver down the spine every time, and you can't ask for any more than that.

PS - my kids call it "space rocket music".

Dreamy and laid-back 15 Nov 2004
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you like 1970s Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze, you'll positively LOVE this mainly guitar-based album which manages to sound like the smooth 70s synthesiser releases from the above. To me, it is evocative of long, carefree summer nights. Even if you didn't ever explore the synth. groups or have these summer memories, this album might convince you that you did!

Sublime!
Manuel Goettsching (Ashra) has composed and played some great, gentle melodic, synth and guitar music with real heart and soul, certainly in later years. Read more

Atmospheric at its best
Ashra's masterpiece is this four track gem of an album. It transports you to another (slightly German) world of atmospheres and soundscapes. Read more

If you like Tangerine Dream, but would prefer them to be a little more ambient and relaxing - "New Age of Earth" is a damn good album to get hold of. Read more
