»Jetzt erstmals auch außerhalb Japans erhältlich: das legendäre Japan-Konzert von Manuel Göttsching am Fuji Mountain. Der ehemalige Ash Ra Temple-Musiker zelebriert neue Tracks & Klassiker, die bis zurück ins Jahr 1976 gehen, und setzt sie live in völlig neuer moderner Strukturierung um. Dabei fliessen Techno-Rhythmen wie auch Clapton-Slide-Gitarren-Soli in die intensive Neu-Orchestrierung ein. Eine perfekte Fusion aus Techno, 70'er Electronica & Pink Floyd'scher Rock-Psychedelia! Und ein weiteres Masterpiece in der Manuel Göttsching & Ash Ra Tempel Kollektion.« (From Amazon, 2007) |

»Manuel Gottsching hasn't released as many albums in recent decades as he
did earlier in his career but when he does release something new, it's
always something special. Manuel's latest release was recorded live in
Feburary 2006 during an excellent solo concert near Japan's Mount Fuji.
Manuel performed the entire concert alone accompanied by stunning computer
visuals by a Japanese graphic artist and he also dug into his back catalog
coming up with new arrangements of classic material.
The album opens with "Sunrain" which was originally from the 1976 classic
"New Age of Earth". The familiar hypnotic sequencer pattern is already in
place however on this new version, Manuel takes it in a slightly different
direction and extends the piece to nearly 15-minutes.
"Saint and Sinner" is a more recent piece which was originally heard on the
2004 release "Concert For Murnau". This laid back piece is taken a step up
>from its studio counterpart as Manuel adds a bluesy Clapton-esque guitar
lead that wasn't there before.
"Trunky Groove" is a brand new piece composed for this concert and is a
showcase for the psychedelic music style that was the norm for Manuel back
in his very early days in Ash Ra Tempel. A techno-style rhythm is
accompanied by a long drone and intense orchestrations before giving way to
an effects-drenched guitar solo.
"Die Mulde" is a 20-minute excerpt from Manuel's long-form 1997 piece of the
same name. It begins with the "Die Spiegel" section of the piece and shifts
into the closing "Zerfluss" movement. As with "Saint and Sinner", Manuel
adds a guitar lead which wasn't in the original version.
Finally, to close the album, we have yet another arrangement of the classic
"Shuttlecock" which originally is from the 1978 masterwork "Blackouts". The
arrangement is similar to the 1976 live version that appeared on the 1996 CD
set "The Private Tapes" but definitely has a modern twist. Manuel's guitar
playing is up front and center here and is stellar - almost like taking a
trip back to the mid 70s.
"Live at Mt.Fuji" is yet another great CD release from the legendary Manuel
Gottsching. There is some amazing music on this disc and every piece has
some stellar shining moments. Manuel has definitely not lost any of his
musical strengths in fact, he is playing better than ever now as he was
then.
This is definitely another solid addition to one's Gottsching and Ash Ra
Tempel collection and is another classic gem from this pioneer.«(Louie Bourland, USA, 2007) |
