Did he ever do anything else like e2e4 or was that a one off? I listen to that album loads
e2e4 is one of the weakest in his discography, in my opinion, but that's because "New Age of Earth" was always my go to "sunrise" album after spending the evening tripping my box off
Ashra - Nightdust
but, anyway, the legend goes that, while on tour with Klaus Schulze, he wanted something to listen to on his walkman on a flight and knocked out a two chord progression in the time it takes to listen to ..one take...I suppose the stars aligned or something and the result was e2-e4
one German publication called it “muzak” and Berlin Magazine said that Göttsching has not understood anything in the modern developments of electronic music and that he should better listen to Depeche Mode (the magazine apologized a decade later).
I really like this album he did in collaboration with Michael Hoenig but it's hard to find at a reasonable price:
Michael Hoenig and Manuel Göttsching - Early Water
