Background -
Ash Ra Tempel (ASHRA) was a German krautrock group of the 1970s, which is an example of cosmic or ambient space rock. The group was originally founded by guitarist Manuel Göttsching, keyboardist/drummer Klaus Schulze, and bassist Hartmut Enke in 1971. All three founding members had previously played together as part of the short-lived group Eruption founded by Conrad Schnitzler. Prior to that Schnitzler and Schulze had worked together in Tangerine Dream.Ash Ra Tempel has exerted a relatively large influence on later space rock and krautrock bands. The psychedelic bands Acid Mothers Temple and Hash Jar Tempo named themselves in reference to Ash Ra Tempel. The Experimental rock ensemble Al Berkowitz covered Light: look at your sun, from Schwingungen, and featured it on their live album Apprenticeship and attitude (2009). Hungarian psychedelic hardcore, 'shaman punk' band Galloping Coroners was also admitted to be influenced by Ash Ra Tempel in late 70's.
Ashra is a project begun by Manuel Göttsching in 1976, initially to facilitate his solo career although other members were included later on. The band's name is an abbreviation of the name of Gottsching's previous band, Ash Ra Tempel. The name was changed as Gottsching's music became less psychedelic and more oriented towards electronica.
Blackouts is a solo album by German musician Manuel Göttsching, released in 1978. It was originally released as an Ash Ra Tempel album. The album was written and performed entirely by Göttsching on electric guitar, keyboards.
The album comprises absolutely brilliant work by the innovative guitar player Manuel Göttsching. In this release he explores the possibilities of his instrument and makes combinations with electronic structures. The first track is pleasant, quiet amazing with its repetitive and gentle melody. Midnight on Mars draws a dreamy soundscape full of guitar echoes with a well-inspired solo. With the title track, this marvelous piece culminates the album. The last two titles mix guitar parts to sequencers/arpeggios with a great sense of musical structure. Fresh and well done, this LP release is a great introduction to Ashra music.

The corners are solid, with just a bit of shelf wear along the seams and corners, but there is a tiny bit of damage on the back of the jacket due to a poorly removed price sticker. The colors on the jacket are sharp (see pictures with this listing as they are of the actual item).
The LP is in near mint minus condition! We found that the vinyl looked superb on this vintage LP. There are no significant marks and the LP retains much of the original gloss and sheen - obviously well taken care of! There are NO serious spindle marks on the record labels either. Just beautiful GERMAN made vinyl!A Short Note About LP GRADING -
