Title: Not what the title says
Review: Ash Ra Tempel were like a lot of 70s bands: brilliant in 1971 and 1972 and then soon changing to meet the mellower expectations of their audience and the "industry." I read (in Chris Stigliano's excellent magazine Black to Comm) that the Private Tapes had several long "jams" from 71 and 72 that sounded like the side-long epics on the first two ART albums. That's what I would consider the best of the Private Tapes. Not this, which is mostly Manuel Gottsching's home recordings and new age-type noodlings. Luckily I bought this cheap used. Unless you prefer later Tang Dream to the earlier, raw stuff with the guy from Kluster, stay away from this double CD.
