That was the UK Electronica, I think it was 86, but I stand to be corrected -from memory Steve Jolliffe supported Ashra in the big room, and over the day there were sets from Ian Boddy, Mark Shreeve, Paul Nagle, a chap called Michael Brook (not the Eno collaborator, but I bought a nice tape of his, Fragile Shoreline) and Stevo. I've always wondered if Stevo was the same guy involved with Soft Cell.lemonstar wrote:No idea what year this (80's?) was but I went to this show in Sheffield (at the Octogon (?)- where they play or used to play snooker) and saw Ashra play a dazzling set. The crowd was pretty special too, I remember the rhythmic clapping at the start of the show, which I *think* was running a little bit late, seemed like the 2 halves of the audience were improvising some elaborate clapping patterns and interplay - weird! MG's guitar playing was so fluid. Anyone else on here attend that year or any other? Ian Boddy was also on the same year as the headliners Ashra.

awesome trilogy of albums, all classics, all perfect imho
I can never make up my mind if these are brilliant, inspired mould shattering improvisations by visionary musical geniuses or just a bunch of stoned hippies on an endless jam with the tape rolling. Don't suppose it really matters if you enjoy it at the end of the day!bergen-dreamer wrote:my favourite ART albums are Ash Ra Tempel, Scwingungen and Join Inn - another awesome trilogy IMHObigmoog wrote:epsilon75 wrote: New Age Of Earth,Blackouts and Correlations are superb albums IMHO,right up there with the very best![]()

No doubt with the later stuff though - New Age of Earth, Dream & Desire, Blackouts, Correlations, Early Water, E2-E4 etc all cast iron EM classics made extra special by Manuel's sublime guitar.
