Ended Tuesday and welcomed Wednesday a walk with New Age of Earth a solo album by Manuel Göttsching. While originally released under Göttsching's name and Ash Ra Tempel in 1976, the releases that followed in 1977 and onward were under the name Ashra. It was the first album to be released under the name Ashra. Although a solo album by Manuel Göttsching recorded after the dissolution of his band Ash Ra Tempel, Ashra later evolved into a full band. It was released in 1976 on Isadora Records. New Age of Earth has been listed as one of the Top 25 Most Influential Ambient Albums of All Time. In 2016, Pitchfork (website) ranked it #31 on their list of the 50 Best Ambient Albums of All Time.- Wikipedia

"Plugged in Joplin" - The Eden Electronic Ensemble, 1975.

Picked this up in an antique shop a few years ago. Finally playing this... oh my, pure minimoog and EMS Synthi AKS cheese.

Reminds me I did something like that with some of Scott Joplin's tunes in the 80s, as a teenager. I didn't have anything as flexible as a minimoog or AKS back then (Casio and Radio Shack keyboards). Wonder where those tapes are.
