Producer, composer and musician from Hamburg Germany , Achim Reichel is
a key figure in the explosion of krautrock. Reichel was first a founder
member of The Rattles at the beginning of the 60 s. In 1968 he formed
the Wonderland band with the drummer Frank Dostal. Late 60 s he
launched his first solo musical project called A.R. and Machines.
Musically it provides a supreme sonic musical voyage turned to cycled
psychedelic guitar playing with lot of echoes and delay. The first album
was published in 1971 in collaboration with Frank Dostal. The album
presents an ambitious collection of spacey rock jams featuring a lot of
electronic effects and arrangements. This album prefigures acid trips
of krautrock guitar / minimal electronic explorers like Manuel
Gottsching. The guitar freakouts and the weird imagination of the first
effort continue to prevail in the following inspired, confused and
various Die Grune Reise, A.R. IV, Autovision generally a mix between
guitar soudscapes and psych pop orientated songs . Reichel decided to
abandon the project after 5 studio albums. Today A.R and the machines
remains a high class standard of hypnotic space-echo guitar inventions.
