Synopsis

Album Description
Originally released in 1996, Are You Sequenced? was recorded live in concert in Derby, Great Britain on the 27th of April 1996 and was edited and remixed by Klaus Schulze that summer. Are You Sequenced? is an amalgamation of analogue sounds played on contemporary nineties equipment with the Schulze flair, with all eleven tracks played as a continuum. The new and definitive Revisited Records version contains the bonus track, Vat Was Dat?, recorded in Hambühren in 1993 and comes packaged in a deluxe digipak with new liner notes and rare photos. 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.

Better Than Expected

"As a fan of Klaus since the release of Irrlicht, I have to say this is one of his best works. I have been waiting years for this double-CD package to be offered at a reasonable price, and I have not been disappointed.



Let's talk about Klaus' product history. I have practically all of his work in my collection. I do not own Cyborg or Mirage, for example, because the quiet, minimalist works by Klaus are not the ones I prefer. I call them boring. My favorites are X, Dresden, Timewind, Dreams, and In Blue (in that descending order). My second tier of favorites include those in his sampling era such as the Royal Festival Hall group. I rate Are You Sequenced? and What Was That? squarely between the first and second tier groups. That makes Sequenced/That my sixth favorite of all the Schulze albums, and out of sixty or so, that should say something! If you like the same Klaus albums I do, you will probably like this CD pair. If you think Mirage is the cat's meow, maybe you should be looking elsewhere."
