Search - Klaus Schulze :: Trancefer

Originally released in 1981, Trancefer is a one of the most highly regarded recordings of the Klause Schulze catalogue. Featuring Michael Shrieve on percussion and Wolfgang Tiepold on cello, Trancefer is as the title suggests, full of atmospheric metallic textures and cold timbres that sounds as fresh today as it did in it's pre-digital day. Clocking in at only 37 minutes, Revisited have tacked on additional versions of the two tracks from the original alternate mastering formats that were released in low quantities for friends and press that have since become highly sought after collectors items. The definitive version of Trancefer is remastered and housed in a stylish digipak with deluxe booklet with new liner notes and is numbered for collectors. 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.
