I have wondered if Steve Hillage got a hold of this album, since he used that very same approach on his 1978 album Green on "Ether Ships". The closing "Pluralis" consists of endless variations constructed around a simple guitar sequence; it possesses a structure similar to "Echo Waves" (down to the late-breaking blast of psychedelic soloing) with a bit more space and a slower tempo. A genius of an album by maestro Gottsching. The opening "Echo Waves" is a trance-inducing space guitar masterpiece, with repeating rhythm figures and gradual phase shifts creating a warped sense of time.

My first copy of this 2016 MG.ART reissue had clicking for a good few minutes across side A but I was able to get a replacement and that has near-flawless playback throughout. This SQ record will be produced as 2-channel stereo when played through standard stereo equipment.". The first 14 minutes of the track consist of short, subtly changing melodic phrases, until Göttsching questionably chooses to close with a searing, acid-fried guitar solo. This album is sometimes credited to Ash Ra Tempel, but the music was composed and performed by Manuel Göttsching alone. True masterpiece. Inventions for Electric Guitar is the first solo studio album by electronic artist Manuel Göttsching. Buy with confidence. "Quasarsphere" is an ambient piece, reminds me of the ambient parts of "Traummaschine" from Ash Ra Tempel's debut, as well as a lot of Klaus Schulze's work. Parts of this sound like a Mellotron was used, but it seemed he was just doing tricks to make his guitar sound like one. this is the real deal, one of the best reissues i've heard. That effect was caused by tape delay. Inventions for Electric Guitar is the first solo studio album by electronic artist Manuel Göttsching. Fantastic reissue. I used to work in a record shop and we got new vinyl reissues in around 2006 / 2007. But you go all the way to Inventions for Electric Guitar where that Pink Floyd's The Wall guitar effect had its origins. This is truly the ultimate solo album, as it's all done by multi-tracked delayed guitar with absolutely no outside help. quadrophonic record is produced by the SQ system which permits the reproduction of sound from four separate channels when a special SQ decoder is used in association with suitable amplifiers and four loud-speakers. Im sure at some point in the 1970s David Gilmour must have heard this release and realized wow what a great technique let me explore that and then.....well The Wall and Gilmours famous echoed stratocaster ala Run Like Hell! Highly recommended, especially for the fact that this is one of the best kosmische albums ever made. [2] The album was written and performed entirely by Göttsching on electric guitar. Ash Ra Tempel (ab 1977 nur noch Ashra) ist eine Berliner Band, die im Jahre 1970 von Manuel G ttsching, Hartmut Enke und Klaus Schulze gegr ndet wurde. You can listen to this for months without listening to anything else (I just did). SQ 6031. Göttsching's guitar sounds just incredible at times. Perhaps he wasn't sure if he could still legally use the Ash Ra Tempel name or not. Overall I think that this record deserves 3,5 stars out of five. Although the material gets slightly weaker on the middle part of this record most of the time this album sounds entertaining. "Pluralis" is more of a mid tempo number.

"Echo Waves" is that perfect example of that Pink Floyd and Steve Hillage guitar effect, really high paced rhythms, to think this was not done by synths and sequencers is truly amazing. It can be done other ways! This is essentially a Manuel Gottsching solo album as he really gets help from no one else, but this was also billed as an Ash Ra Tempel album. Bewertung 5.0, . A selection from the sleeve notes regarding the SQ pressing: "This Cosmic Courier 33 1/3 r.p.m. Progressive electronic noodlings for all-eternity! All sounds were created with guitar, but Göttsching's use of echo, delay, and assorted treatments give these pieces the flavor of sequenced synthesizer music, occasionally reminiscent of Tangerine Dream's work from the period. However, it was released with the subtitle Ash Ra Tempel VI, technically making it the sixth and final album under the Ash Ra Tempel name. Manuel Göttsching is a time traveller, this album is proof of that. What you get here is Berlin School electronic music, all done exclusively on guitar, but you might think synthesizers were actually being used but not one synth or any other instrument. Mit seinem genialen ersten Soloalbum, das ursprünglich 1974 veröffentlicht wurde, legte Manuel Göttsching den Grundstein für viele weitere kommende Werke. In some respects a precursor to the groundbreaking proto-techno of E2-E4, Inventions for Electric Guitar is an essential document for space rock enthusiasts. Ozric Tentacles later used the effect occasionally, like on "Dissolution" from Pungent Effugent and on several of their early cassette releases like on Tantric Obstacles. 1975 studio album by Ash Ra Tempel, Manuel Göttsching, "Inventions for Electric Guitar - Ash Ra Tempel | AllMusic", https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Inventions_for_Electric_Guitar&oldid=987681159, Short description is different from Wikidata, Album articles lacking alt text for covers, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License, This page was last edited on 8 November 2020, at 16:20. That version doesn't seem to be on here though. Inventions for Electric Guitar was his solo debut and in my opinion it's a pretty enjoyable experience. It also happened that Nick Mason from Pink Floyd produced that album, so that same guitar effect was used on The Wall like on "Another Brick in the Will Part 1" and "Run Like Hell". Who could have imagined an album using exclusively guitar can end up like this? What you get here is Berlin School electronic music, all done exclusively on guitar, but you might think synthesizers were actually being … It's just simply amazing stuff, and obviously an album required in your collection. But you go all the way to Inventions for Electric Guitar where that Pink Floyd's The Wall guitar effect had its origins. The album was written and performed entirely by Göttsching on electric guitar. The only record that makes my speakers rattle. However, it was released with the subtitle Ash Ra Tempel VI, technically making it the sixth and final album under the Ash Ra Tempel name. Sonically this is excellent, although I don't have any other version of the album to compare it to. "Quasarsphere" is much more contemplative, with Göttsching processing his guitar to sound like a synthesizer in the vein of Robert Fripp.
