Search - Klaus Schulze :: Das Wagner Desaster Live

Das Wagner Desaster was recorded on digital 8-track during the two legendary 1994 concerts staged by Klaus Schulze in Paris and Rome, May 27 and 31. Schulze then edited the shows into two different mixes, disc one featuring The Wild Mixes with The Soft Mixes on the other, to create the in-demand live album that fans had been clamouring for for years. The results are pure Schulze and Das Wagner Desaster resides in not only the upper echelon of Klaus Schulze recordings but in that of all classic and essential electronic music. The new Revisited version is packaged in deluxe digipak format with enhanced booklet and new liner notes as well as an exclusive bonus track. 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.
