Search - Klaus Schulze :: Live

Klaus Schulze's twelfth solo album was originally released in 1980 and received brilliant reviews such as the following "There is almost no-one who can hold a candle to him as a live musician performing on the synthesizer." The ever creative Klaus Schulze produced this remarkable live album consisting of 4 extended compositions recorded in Amsterdam 1979, Berlin 1976 and Paris 1979. At the time he declared that it would be his last live recording and the appearance of Crazy Arthur Brown on Dymagic was the highlight of the four command performances presented here. Sense is literally pulsating and captivating which includes very sharp and precise percussion work - the whole album is simply electronic music at its finest. The bonus track Le Mans Au Premier is taken from a concert at the Abbey L'Epeau near Le Mans in France on November 10, 1979. 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.
