*Starring Rosi* stands out in Ash Ra Tempel’s discography for its lighter, more accessible sound, balancing the band’s signature cosmic exploraQons with melodic structures and poeQc lyrics. It marks an unique chapter in Ash Ra Tempel's discography, featuring the ethereal vocals of Rosi Müller alongside Manuel Gö2sching's visionary guitar work. The album is a sonic journey that takes listeners through seven disQnct tracks, each showcasing Manuel Gö2schings pioneering approach to music.
From the dreamy opening track "Laughter Loving" to the meditaQve "Day-Dream" and the atmospheric "Interplay of Forces," songs that illustrate the band's evoluQon from their earlier, more intense and improvisaQonal albums, showcasing a more reflecQve and introspecQve side .
"The Fairy Dance" is delving into the mysQcal and meditaQve, transporQng listeners to a dreamlike state.While “Schizo” sounds like a conQnuaQon of the best moments of the previous Ash Ra Tempel records, is the last track “Bring Me Up” an Up-tempo Song that features Manuel as well on vocals. "Starring Rosi" capQvates with its blend of cosmic improvisaQon and melodic beauty.
