"Erholung" by Achim Reichel (1975)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
Achim Reichel "Erholung"  1975 (Germany)
Achim Reichel was a pioneering guitarist from the West German "krautrock" scene, best known for his albums under the name "A.R. & Machines." This week's classic album is a live in concert recording where A.R. does his guitar loops and samples similar to the "Machines" albums, but with live backup from a drummer, percussionist, and a guy playing flutes and saxophones. Though not as epic as A.R. & Machines, this album presents a somewhat more populist version of Reichel's music (playing to win over a live audience rather than fussing in a studio all by himself) and therefore makes an excellent introduction to this unsung artist.
