Search - Klaus Schulze :: Dig It (Bonus Dvd)

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. Originally released in 1980, Dig It is Schulze?s first digital album, played and mixed entirely on computer. It garnered strange reception as the world was still recovering from disco and wasn?t ready for a new level of electronic music. Half a decade later, his sound was in fashion and dubbed "techno". This reissue contains a bonus track from the original session tapes, in addition to a DVD track of a live performance at the Ars Electronica in Austria - never before released!
