Its the only album i own by Lightwave, again...any other recommendations for further listening by Lightwave.
And Ashra Tempel while we're at it?
Lightwave? yep...look for
Nachtmusik (sp?) and
Tycho Brahe (sp?)...the first is very dark indeed, a bit like the Coma Virus project that Paul Haslinger also played on (well he plays with Lightwave as well). TB also has shorter tracks. The group also have two tracks on a French Compliation called
Nunc music or something like that (I should check these things), personally I like these two tracks the best. There's also two or three early tapes that Ultima Thule put out (the record shop in Leicester I mean), I'd imagine these aren't available anymore.
Ash Ra Tempel...hmmm the early albums are either long ambient tracks or even longer rhythmic kraut-rock like tracks...about as funky as an army band playing mozart (the self titled first album especially). The later albums start a progression towards short tracks with more obvious melodies....and eventually just end up being Manuel on his own...the group changes name to Ashra and they ruin it all
no seriously it just becomes even more melodic and a bit throw-away...nice enough though
