Read our Eternal Rhythm blog on this record here Starring Rosi is the 5th Album by Ash Ra Tempel. Originally released 1973 in the same year as Join Inn. Remastered by Manuel Göttsching himself. Originally released in 1973, this seminal work remains a cornerstone of the Krautrock and “Kosmische” movement, blending psychedelic rock, ambient soundscapes, and early electronics into a transcendent auditory experience. Starring Rosi stands out in Ash Ra Tempel’s discography for its lighter, more accessible sound, balancing the band’s signature cosmic explorations with melodic structures and poetic lyrics. It marks an unique chapter in Ash Ra Tempel's discography, featuring the ethereal vocals of Rosi Müller alongside Manuel Göttsching's visionary guitar work. The album is a sonic journey that takes listeners through seven distinct tracks, each showcasing Manuel Göttschings pioneering approach to music. From the dreamy opening track "Laughter Loving" to the meditative "Day-Dream" and the atmospheric "Interplay of Forces," songs that illustrate the band's evolution from their earlier, more intense and improvisational albums, showcasing a more reflective and introspective side . "The Fairy Dance" is delving into the mystical and meditative, transporting listeners to a dreamlike state.While “Schizo” sounds like a continuation of the best moments of the previous Ash Ra Tempel records, is the last track “Bring Me Up” an Up-tempo Song that features Manuel as well on vocals. Starring Rosi captivates with its blend of cosmic improvisation and melodic beauty.
