Originally released in 1976 and reissued by Virgin in 1977, Manuel Göttsching’s Ashra – New Age Of Earth became a landmark in electronic and ambient music, with its very title helping shape the term “new age.” Recorded in Berlin after Göttsching moved on from Ash Ra Tempel, the album trades space rock for kosmische electronics, balancing celestial atmospheres with grounded rhythm. From the pulsing opener “Sunrain” to the 21-minute epic “Nightdust,” it remains a visionary work—faithfully reissued here on 180g heavyweight vinyl, replicating the original Virgin edition.
