{"product_id":"ashra-new-age-of-earth","title":"Ashra – New Age Of Earth (2025 Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAfter an initial European release in 1976 on the Isadora label, \u003cem\u003eNew Age Of Earth\u003c\/em\u003e was re-issued on Virgin Records in Summer 1977 and quickly became a beacon for electronic and what was becoming known as ambient music — some even cite its very title as helping introduce 'new age' music. This 2025 reissue faithfully replicates the original 1977 Virgin edition and is pressed on heavyweight 180g vinyl.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecorded in Berlin between March and June 1976 by guitarist and synthesiser player Manuel Göttsching after disbanding Ash Ra Tempel, the album shifts away from space rock into a more electronic, kosmische sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe four compositions highlight contrasts in texture and mood: the throbbing, techno-predicting 'Sunrain', the space-age pulse of 'Ocean Of Tenderness', the surf-influenced 'Deep Distance', and the monumental 21-minute closer 'Nightdust', which crescendos into a celestial guitar solo. An essential and influential record in electronic and ambient music history, now lovingly reissued for a new generation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Proper Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56112714482038,"sku":"UMCLP117","price":26.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/6450\/6005\/files\/newageofearth.jpg?v=1755600012","url":"https:\/\/www.stickyblacktarmac.com\/products\/ashra-new-age-of-earth","provider":"Sticky Black Tarmac","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
