2024 re-release. Seven Up is the third studio album by Ash Ra Tempel, and their only album recorded in collaboration with American Ph.D. in psychology, Dr. Timothy Leary. The cover art for Seven Up was designed by famous Swiss artist Walter Wegmüller. Originally recorded in August 1972 at Sinus Studio in Berne, Switzerland, remixed September 1972 at Dierks Studios in Stommeln, Germany. This re-release of Seven Up has been carefully overseen by Manuel Göttsching himself. This edition features the full original text for the "7 Levels Of Consciousness" by Timothy Leary in English, plus a previously unreleased glimpse view of the original scripts, including notes and mark ups as well as partly unreleased photos from the recording session. Julian Cope´s review and remarks in his book Krautrocksampler states: "The greatness of Ash Ra Tempel burned so brightly on Seven Up that there is really nothing else like it. Hartmut Enke and Manuel Gottsching here returned to their riffy roots. It can hardly be called a retro act, though, as the context of music is everything. And with Dierks at the controls, even the New Kids on the Block would have sounded psychedelic. Leary and Barritt present the greatest twin-vocal of all time, coming on like Jagger and Morrison?. In chaos it was conceived and in chaos it was recorded."
