Starring Rosi is a studio album by the Berlin Krautrock group Ash Ra Tempel from 1973. It is the band's fifth album.
History of origin
The entire album was recorded by Manuel Göttsching without any other band members. The additional instruments came from producer Dieter Dierks and drummer Harald Grosskopf . The singing and the narrative guidance in individual tracks was taken over by Göttsching's friend, the Berlin photo model Rosemarie "Rosi" Müller, after whom the album is also named.
The very spherical and relaxed record was recorded and mixed in the Dierks Studios in Stommeln in July and August 1973 . The album was released in the same year on the record label Ohr under the "supervision" of Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser .
The back of the record sleeve bears the following dedication: Dedicated to WM, Gitti, Ilja, Manuel .
reception
The reviewer Andreas Pläschke felt "immediately reminded of a jam of the Grateful Dead " when hearing the opening number Laughter Loving . John Bush gave the record three (out of five) stars on Allmusic and said, although the album tastes like a school lesson, when Göttsching shows the different styles that he has mastered, the album holds this diversity together surprisingly well.
