Tracklist 12":
A1: SOLAR SURFING
B1: NATIVE POWER
B2: AVOCADO CONCEPTION
Short Info:
Back in the game, Fantastic Man returns to Kitjen with a powerful EP of mind-bending, acid workouts. Solar
Surfing is a concise example of the Australian artist’s panache for psychedelically inspired house music with two
dance-floor heavy cuts preceding a contemplative, baseline driven slow jam. The hypnotic and fast paced title
track locks in and moves ever forward, whilst Native Power features the classic sound of Fantastic Man’s 303,
coupled cleverly with the sound of an extraterrestrial bird-song. A drop in tempo rounds off the release with
Avocado Conception, an expertly delivered exploration in slow, chugging nostalgia.'
Vital Sales Points:
- Second Release by Fantastic Man on Kitjen
- Releases on Superconscious Records, Love on the Rocks, Let's Play House

Shortinfo:
Kitjen's fifth installment comes in the form of three floor-friendly cuts by Melbourlin's Fantastic Man.
This Swiss Army Knife of a 12" gracefully knocks on the doors of Italo and Acid House and is filled with
trippy drums that create a perfect pool for you to drown in. This record is a fantastic stocking stuffer
and the official dress code for this release is "retired magician". Fresh for 2016, you quokkas!

After LOTR005 had been deleted (sadly) we have an alternate version which we would like to introduce you too. Not the same tracklisting, but the same fantastic sound, slight different edit!

Tracklist EP:
A1. Fountain Gate B1. Dream Machine (Utopia Dub) B2. St. Elmo’s Theme
Info:
Melbournian producer Mic Newman’s Fantastic Man alias has been steadily building over the past few years. Having established himself through a handful of features on labels such as Wolf Music, Kolour LTD and Let's Play House between 2010 and 2013. The past year however, has been a more focused affair with releases only coming via his imprint Fine Choice Records. And this phase of consolidation has to be seen as a key turning point for the quality of his
productions. Last year's 'Animal Language' EP turned out as a bushwhacking odyssey through the outback of a land called Amorhythmia. It was sold out instantly and has been periodically repressed after its release in May 2014. Earlier this year, the follow-up EP 'El Tropo' finally proved that his butterfly transition has been a more permanent steer for his musical direction. Love On the Rocks too has been steadily building over the past year, with a string of sold out records, which perfectly compliment one another; as the title track 'Dream Machine' ties in perfectly to Khidja's preceding New-Age objet d’art. Like an early-bird’s waking chirps in-between fields dazed with morning dew and slight winds howling from above, the track slides into it’s Proto-house inspired beats with a taste of some early nineties Progressive pads. A piano unravels when it's just about time to unzip the tent door and make a move for the meadows. 'Fountain Gate' merges the NYC Garage House feel of Sha-Lor's 'I'm In Love' with Jungle inspired snare fills and a timeless Acid line, a festival spacer to all expressive dancers in the hey. 'St Elmo's Theme' closes the circle for his recent Afro-oriented releases with saturated kicks guided by hypnotic drum patterns and some Xylophonic sparkle melodies filled with pure optimism. No doubt: Future will be Fantastic!”

4. INFO:

Ash Ra Tempel is the eponymous debut studio album by the Krautrock band Ash Ra Tempel.
It features guitarist Manuel Göttsching with drummer Klaus Schulze and bassist Hartmut Enke.
Engineered by Conny Plank it was recorded in March 1971 and released in June 1971 on Ohr Records.
This 50Th Anniversary Album will be Released in Memoriam of all the Musical Contributors to this Release and on Manuel Göttsching´s MG.ART label.
It´s the fourth and headlining edition in this series and was finalised, carefully overseen by Manuel Göttsching himself in the late Autumn of 2022.

Much has been written about the record and band.

Having finished a first musical chapter with their Steeple Chase Bluesband and still at very young age of only 17 and 18 years old Manuel Göttsching and Hartmut Enke met Klaus Schulze. Together they started to write and and compose what, to many,
became one the holy grails of Psychedelic Rock and early Electronic Music -
the German variant which was later also named "Krautrock":

Ash Ra Tempel´s self-titled first album "Ash Ra Tempel".

"The trio of Klaus Schulze, Manuel Göttsching and Hartmut Enke decided to abandon conventional composition and song writing, in favour of free-form improvising and developing a new musical language. As such, they became notorious for jams that could exceed 30 minutes." Says Discogs. "Some of these recordings can be found on Manuel Göttsching´s "The Private Tapes" releases", which will be re-released on MG.ART as well, following this edition.


"Krautrocksampler" author Julian Cope mentioned it to be "… one of the greatest rock 'n' roll LPs ever made." (Julian Cope Presents Head Heritage | Unsung | Reviews | Ash Ra Tempel - Ash Ra Tempel". 15 March 2000.)

AllMusic called the album "both astonishingly prescient and just flat out good, a logical extension of the space-jam-freakout ethos into rarified realms."



Here we would like the Band to be heard, for what can easily be said as the first time in 50+ years, with the exception of some early Journalists for whom the young Manuel Göttsching wrote a statement of intent (the original text can be found inside this edition) as following:

"Our musical concept is based on a combination of blues rock and delicate collages of electronic sound. These two elements should remain inseparable. And in their complex unity, the different musical philosophies of each musician find a common sweet spot. Our music is a permanently impulsive experience left to develop as it will, starting from a common fixed point of departure. This is where the difficulty of the music begins: No standardized formulation of our music can and should be possible. Only the constant reaction within the band can determine the musical result. And this requires constant listening with full concentration on the part of the creators. The idea of a particular musician will be - if flexible enough - absorbed by the others, transposed to their own instrument, and reflected back into the music as an individual contribution. This reciprocity within the band is then transferred over to the audience. And this process means that their reaction is not only a contribution to the end result; it actually makes them jointly responsible for the creation of the final musical product.
…
On our album, the track "Amboss" represents the first layer. Conventional instruments communicate familiar music which is in part expanded through electronic means. In the second track of the album - "Traummaschine" - the actual basic sound approach is dissolved into an electronic Nirvana which no longer allows the concrete identification of actual instruments. Innocent, virgin listening, free from any and every association, can finally begin - and the music can be absorbed and processed free from the limitations of categorization. That is the purpose of our music: To convey freedom without any predetermined criteria or traditions.

Thank you for your attention."
(Taken from the original A-R-T Bio 1970)


Hartmut Enke, Manuel Göttsching and Klaus Schulze aka. Ash Ra Tempel travelled to Hamburg in March 1971 to record their debut, with assistance of another Icon, legendary engineer Conny Plank.
The rest is history.

2025 Repress

Tracklist
A1. Yaga Yao – Original Demo Version
A2. Yago Yao – Beat Up Version
AA1. Yaga Yao – Emperor Machine Extended Version

Release Info:
Bite the Day is a new Idjut Boys label imprint. We do an occasional London Party of the same name.....the concept is that there isn't one, musical anythingness and more often than not intending to involve collaborative collision with a hitlist of audio gymnasts whose talents can mask our lack of
said talent.

From the vaults of Idjut time past, Dominican Dolla Man delivered a lyric we thought boots some cold reality into today. The mighty Emperor Machine man was called upon to deliver his ministry of musical justice take. If you can figure out the words they are better than your average Christmas
rap song.
