Our Take

Oh, darling music lovers, buckle up your seatbelts because we are about to take another green journey with A.R. & MACHINES' latest live album, '71/17 Another Green Journey - Live At Elbphilharmonie Hamburg'.

This avant-garde electronic mastermind, Achim Reichel, takes us on a sonic rollercoaster through time and space with his mind-bending blend of krautrock, psychedelia, and experimental electronica. The concert, recorded at the prestigious Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, is a transcendental experience that will leave you questioning reality and reaching for the nearest lava lamp.

From the hypnotic pulsations of 'Green Journey Part 1' to the ethereal beauty of 'The Long Sequence', Reichel weaves a tapestry of sound that is both mesmerising and disorienting. The live performance adds an extra layer of intensity, with Reichel's virtuoso guitar work and the pulsating beats of the machines creating a cosmic dancefloor unlike any other.

But don't mistake this album for mere background music – '71/17 Another Green Journey' demands your full attention and rewards it tenfold. Close your eyes, let the music wash over you, and prepare to embark on a journey unlike any other.

In a world saturated with generic pop tunes and cookie-cutter beats, A.R. & MACHINES stand out as true sonic pioneers, pushing the boundaries of musical experimentation to dizzying new heights. 'Another Green Journey' is a testament to their enduring creativity and innovation – a must-listen for any music lover with a taste for the extraordinary. Embark on this green journey, dear reader, and prepare to be amazed.

About the artist

A.R. & Machines

A.R. & MACHINES are the enigmatic musical project of German musician Achim Reichel. With a career spanning over five decades, Reichel has proven himself to be a true sonic innovator, blending electronic experimentation with folk and rock influences. Initially emerging in the late 1960s as a member of The Rattles, Reichel quickly broke away to pursue his own singular vision. In 1971, he released the groundbreaking album "Die Grüne Reise" under the A.R. & MACHINES moniker, a sprawling, avant-garde work that pushed the boundaries of what was possible with synthesizers and studio manipulation. Reichel's music can be a challenging listen, with dense layers of sound and unconventional structures that require active engagement from the listener. But for those willing to dive deep into his sonic world, the rewards are endless. Tracks like "Als Hätt Ich Das Alles Schon Mal Gesehen" and "Cosmic Vibration" showcase Reichel's mastery of texture and atmosphere, creating otherworldly soundscapes that feel simultaneously timeless and ahead of their time. Despite his relative obscurity outside of Germany, A.R. & MACHINES have influenced countless musicians across genres, from electronic pioneers to psychedelic rockers. Reichel's willingness to push boundaries and disregard musical conventions has solidified his place as a true maverick in the world of experimental music. So next time you're in the mood for something a bit off-kilter, take a trip with A.R. & MACHINES and experience the sonic universe of Achim Reichel for yourself. Just make sure you're prepared for a mind-bending journey unlike anything you've heard before.
