German band born out of the late 1960s underground scene in Berlin. Centered around (guitar) and (bass), Ash Ra Tempel were rooted in a succession of beat and blues bands, including the Bluebirds, The Bomb Proofs, Bad Joe and . The latter were transformed entirely when from met up with them, and formed Ash Ra Tempel. The trio of Göttsching / Enke / Schulze decided to abandon conventional composition and songwriting in favour of free-form improvising and developing a new musical language. As such, they became notorious for jams that could exceed 30 minutes (some such recordings can be found on The Private Tapes releases).
