Achim Reichel - Echo - 1972


A variant on the Ash Ra/Cosmic Couriers sound, with basically the same line-up as Seven-Up, the first three sides are sublime.

Julian Cope has said a lot about this recording and Achim Reichel, including:

"But, if artists themselves are uninspired by a particular period of their earlier work, as Achim Reichel has been shown to be, it becomes up to others more motivated to make that work available. And when that work could be utilised by major heads for some serious shamanic endeavour, instead of lying unloved in some freezing and damp corporate catacomb, then it is time for the forward-thinking motherfuckers to shine a light in the darkness and scream out: “Navigation! Navigation! Navigation!”
