ASHRA: CORRELATIONS
Dynamic, uneven and various, fun and trippy, the third release from ASHRA marks a rupture with the former acts. After the ambient electronics of "New Age of Earth" and the spacey guitars of "Blackouts", here comes the space disco-rock! Not as cosmic as Manuel Göttsching's former albums, but quite energic and refreshing. No long epic tracks, the album consists in enjoyable short and mid-length dynamic and trippy songs. On "Correlations", Göttsching pursues a more commercial sound, while remaining heavily indulged in an improvised style. There is a real band feel to the album, the authentic drum and percussion sounds immediately providing a rock, in preference to electronic, basis on which the track are constructed.
