Help with old experimental synth act

[qa2pir]

So i don't know very much about it. I am pretty confident it had the word "rose" in the title or perhaps a female name similar to the word.

 

It was described as 2 geeks who were just experimenting with synths and the result was a track that lasted for 1 album.

The music is supposed to sound like a monotonous constant beat with synths from outer space or something like that.

 

Finally, it was mentioned in an article about Italo-disco as one of the important steps in electronic music (in DN, swedish newspaper, summer 2004 i think)

 

I am probably not going to get a single answer and maybe this is the wrong section, but the off-topic seemed even less proper so i chose general anyway.

[qa2pir]

Come on!

 

Someone here has got to know!

[Guest]

uhm........ Tangerine Dream....... Ash Ra Tempel, maybe?

[qa2pir]

Could be... Wonder where i got the rose from.

[Guest]

when you say 'rose' I come to think of 'Starring Rosi' by Ash Ra Tempel, but that is their more song-based album. they have other albums though which are more like long crazy jams.

 

do you know if there only were synths, or some acoustic instruments as well? do you know more exactly when it was released?

 

here are some more names: Faust, Neu!, Can, Popol Vuh, Cluster, Klaus Schulze.

[qa2pir]

I would tip mid to late 70's

 

And im pretty sure it's some kind of dance music.

 

Thanks for the help.

 

Is Ash Ra Tempel both a band and an album by tangerine dream?

[Guest]

only a band I think

[Bahamut]

Uhm Kraftwerk?

 

Ash Ra Tempel is a band (with Manuel Gottsching as main man) and their first album is called Ash Ra Tempel... also made with Klaus Schulze, who was also on the first album of Tangerine Dream.

[fohat]

one of the first albums (or even the first, don't know) of tangerine dream is called "zeit" it is a double album and has (as far as i remember) only one very long track on it. maybe it has more tracks on it but they sounded all the same. very experimental stuff.

 

don't know whether you are looking for this.

It's an insult that you think i dont know kraftwerk

 

NilsT: aha, i thought you said "tangerine dream - ash ra tempel"

 

Zeit sounds a bit like it.

 

Thanks everybody!

[Guest]

tangerine dream - Zeit is absolutily brilliant.

 

it accually has 4 tracks but they play as one.

 

it's just dark strings, moog sounds, and feels like the underbelly of a dark spacecreature.

 

listen to in the dark, and you feel the sounds sort of dripping out of the speakers, no real melody and way to unstructured, and boring for most people.

 

persoanlly i love it

[furthur]

could it be Jordan DeLasierra's Song of the Rose released in 1977 on Music Design? Has two songs both named Song of the Rose.

[furthur]

so?

is that it or what?

or am i just too impatient?

[furthur]

damn it ga2pir, i want to know if i won or not

[qa2pir]

1. It takes some time to buy an album you know that right?

 

2. My name is qa2pir =)

 

3. Checking it on amazon now

[furthur]

yeah, well, i was sort of screwing around

plus i thought that maybe it would ring a bell if you heard the name

and sorry qa2pir, it is just that it is always underlined and an underlined q looks like a g

[qa2pir]

Found stuff by the artist on amazon but not this particular album.

 

no bell ringing sorry :S

By this description it could be Manuel Göttsching (Ash Ra Tempel) - E2-E4

 

But it's one man and has nothing to do with 'rose' and it's not his first album.

 

I like it very much btw. It will drive you insane though.

It's like the concept of trance music, recorded in 1981.

I love the guitar after 32 minutes.

Here are 2 fragments. Use heavy bass.
