{"product_id":"ashra-new-age-of-earth-4","title":"ASHRA - New Age Of Earth","description":"Faithfully replicates the original 1977 Virgin Records release. Originally released in 1976 on the Isadora label and re-issued by Virgin in 1977, 'New Age Of Earth' became a defining album in the rise of ambient and electronic music. Guitarist and synthesist Manuel Göttsching formed Ashra after the dissolution of Ash Ra Tempel, transitioning from space rock to a more electronic-focused sound. Recorded in Berlin, the album's four tracks represent the core of Kosmische music: hypnotic, repetitive, and both celestial and grounded. The album opens with \"Sunrain,\" a track that foreshadows techno, while \"Ocean Of Tenderness\" evokes the early, cosmic vibe of Fleetwood Mac. \"Deep Distance\" merges surf influences with ambient electronica. The 21-minute \"Nightdust\" takes up the album's second side, unfolding slowly to a powerful guitar solo that concludes the record in a celestial flourish.\u003cul class=\"tracklisting\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA1 Sunrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA2 Ocean Of Tenderness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA3 Deep Distance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB Nightdust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASHRA","offers":[{"title":"NM \/ M \/ Virgin \/ UMCLP117","offer_id":57517975470453,"sku":"417245","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0223\/4339\/files\/image_2232837.jpg?v=1787393763","url":"https:\/\/www.vinylexchange.co.uk\/products\/ashra-new-age-of-earth-4","provider":"Vinyl Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
