Synopsis

Album Description

Originally released 1983, Audentity is Klaus Schulze´s double concept piece and 15th opus. This release will have an enhanced booklet, including new liner notes and photos. And, as with other reissues from "The Godfather of Techno", Audentity will include bonus tracks, never before released! Klaus Schulze first attracted attention as a member of the German progressive rock band, Tangerine Dream. Following the release of their debut LP, Electronic Meditation, he departed for a solo career. Klaus' recorded work typically features extended pieces sometimes filling an entire album built around computer-generated synthesizers and other specially programmed electronic effects. Klaus Schulze remains a cult figure in the United States, where the bulk of his prolific output has until now been available only through the import bins. He is widely considered an avant-garde mainstay as well as a founding father of both the new-age space music and electronica genres.

CD Reviews

Audentity

Henry E. Schneider | Houston, TX | 08/11/2007

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Audentity features Klaus plus Michael Shrieve (the original drummer with Santana) on percussion, Rainer Bloss sounds and Glockenspeil, and Wolfgang Tiebold cello. The sound is clean, abstract, and somewhat introspective due to the cello. The original release was a double album with a lot of music. On this reissue Klaus re-distributed the tracks, simply so the bonus 58 minute track "Gem" could fit on the second CD. "Gem" was recorded at the same time as Audentity and intended as the score for the Australian horror movie "Next of Kin". The sound is dark, gloomy, and aggressive, but the music was never used in the movie."

:Audentity: Not Great

(3 out of 5 stars)

"In 1982 Schulze made this music. It requires concentration. It has a hallmark of a continuous stream of sound which varies slightly by degrees and altering the rhythm accordingly. The presence of contributing players fleshes out the material much as Tangerine Dream did. Some critics say Audentity is an interesting and engrossing work. I found it hard to listen to."
