A.R. & Machines - 71/17 Another Green Journey: Live at Elbphilharmonie Hamburg (2022) [Hi-Res]

"71/17 Another Green Journey - Live at Elbphilharmonie Hamburg" is a musical voyage of discovery full of surprises and is difficult to assign to a genre

Both the term "Krautrock" and "Psychedelic Rock" do insufficient justice to the music of Achim Reichel with his solo project "A.R. & Machines" - the truth probably lies somewhere in between. "Die grüne Reise" was Achim Reichel's first album under the name "A.R. & Machines" and was first released in 1971

The genesis of the album is due to fortunate circumstances because when Reichel was experimenting around with a new tape machine at the time, he suddenly heard his guitar playing recurring in loop mode. What he constructed out of it with the addition of percussion is something unique that was musically far ahead of its time. Almost 50 years later, on September 15, 2017, he performed this very album with a band in the legendary - and completely sold out - Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg and caused a sensation

The concert has been remixed and remastered by Hamburg sound engineer Marcus Herzog and, as with a classical production, forms a stunning, cohesive work.
