Search - Klaus Schulze :: Live At Klangart

Following performances by Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream, the organizers of the KlangArt Festival in Osnabrück invited Klaus Schulze to play in 2001. The concert from the 9th of June is actually the last time Schulze played in Germany, and was originally released on two separate CDs that same year. Both parts are now available together for the first time in digipak format with two bonus tracks. The Dutch magazine Background wrote about Live@KlangArt : It's probably one of the best and coherent live albums that KS has ever released; it sounds very honest and pure.

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.
