“The 1960s weren't just about The Beatles, the Rolling Stones and hippies; they also ushered in new forms of art: happenings, Fluxus, Neo-Dada, video art, to name just a few. As borders blurred, pop influenced art and art influenced pop. Many protagonists of the time chose to ignore borders altogether. This chaotic, euphoric atmosphere of extreme innovation lasted well into the 1970s and continues to resonate today. All manner of trailblazers shaped the soundscape of the era. Conrad Schnitzler (born...

“About the Con-Struct series:
Conrad Schnitzler liked to embark on daily excursions through the sonic diversity of his synthesizers. Finding exceptional sounds with great regularity, he preserved them for use in combination with each other in subsequent live performances. He thus amassed a vast sound archive of his discoveries over time. When the m=minimal label in Berlin reissued two Conrad Schnitzler albums at the outset of the 2010s, label honcho Jens Strüver was granted access to this audio...

"Conrad Schnitzler (1937-2011), composer and concept artist, was one of the most important representatives of Germany's electronic music avant-garde. A student of Joseph Beuys, he founded Berlin's legendary Zodiak Free Arts Lab, a subculture club, in...

"Consequenz III follows on directly from the two previous albums. Once again, the pieces sound almost like pop music, once again they are rhythmically and harmoniously structured, once again they are between three and four minutes long. And once again, they are not 100% pop music, but rather a balancing act between strict, abstract seriality and contemporary electronics: no melodies, no vocals, and it's up to each listener to decide whether the pieces are danceable. Rather, the eleven pieces are rhythmic...

One of a small number of Kosmiche classics by this composer and keyboardist. The CD has been out before, although I haven't seen it in many ages, but no one has seen the film in decades and decades! This is a quietly extraordinary release; highly recommended!

"Eberhard Schoener is hailed as the first German musician to own a "Big Moog" system, and was also amongst the first musicians to do an album of purely synthesizer music.... Another innovation was the unique fusion of Gamelan music...

One of a small number of Kosmiche classics by this composer and keyboardist. The CD has been out before, although I haven't seen it in many ages, but it makes a welcome return. The combination of Andy Summers' guitar with a small rock band and nearly...

“Robert Schroeder was one of Klaus Schulze's first disciples to record on the master's own Innovative Communications label, and Harmonic Ascendant remains one of the two or three best albums I.C. ever released.
Not content however to be merely a copyist, Schroeder forged his own identity as a composer of romantic, richly-textured electronic music that owed as much to Chopin as it did to Schulze. The architectonic structure of the individual movements that make up the title track is immaculately...

“'101, MILKY WAY' is a real treasure from Klaus Schulzes musical legacy. It is one of those KS works that absolutely need to be presented to the world, and as such it is part of our obligation to share all of his music with all of you. And of course the genesis of this album - as always - has its very own history:
It all began at the end of 2008 with an enquiry from a German film production company asking if Klaus would perhaps create the score for a planned film documentary about computer hackers...

“Re-Release of the Klaus Schulze's "Another Green Mile" (originally released 2002 as part of the strictly limited and long exhausted 5CD Boxset "Contemporary Works II")."
“From 08:00 on, the previous cold and somehow lost and abstract oboe suddenly sounds a bit more concentrated, more emotional, even elegiac and yes, charming. Apart from the oboe you hear a voice, Wolfgang Tiepold's cello, and a guitar. Although the CD shows 5 tracks, it can also be heard as one long peace, and we know that not just...

"Apart from „Ballett 1 & 2" the "Contemporary Works" box also contained "Ballett 3" and "Ballett 4". These four pieces were originally intended to be one composition in honour to my mother who had been a ballet dancer and had died in 1998. I never assumed that the ballet would be performed with dancing. Then I would have to cut down to about 15 or 20 minutes and would probably have to throw away all my favourite parts! The music could have had another title but since it was the first production I did...

"Originally released in 2000, Ballett 4 is the final of Schulze's four part Ballett series, all of which were previously released on the deleted 10 CD Contemporary Works box set and which was dedicated to his mother, who was a dancer. The music...

The first album by Klaus to be released outside of Germany, many people's first encounter with Klaus' monumental solo work began with this album and it's a great one. Highly recommended!

"Blackdance was my first album to be released in England on Caroline, a Virgin label. Before that [Virgin boss] Richard Branson had signed Tangerine Dream, and then he also contacted me. Of course, I said yes right away. Not just because Branson liked music from Germany but also since Virgin was at the time...

Klaus's seventh album was an album of music for a porno movie from 1977. This is more music created for the soundtrack which, iirc, was released later, and is yet another great CD from the great man of spacey electronics. This is a classic 70's space work & is a pretty necessary title in any collection. This is 4 long tracks that ooze those classic Berlin space sounds and feature Harald Grosskopf on drums, which is always a good thing on any Klaus album.

Highly recommended. This adds an extra 23'...

Unreleased live Klaus? Unreleased live Klaus from 1981? Unreleased live Klaus from 1981 WITH MANUEL GÖTTSCHING?

“In November 1981, Klaus Schulze was scheduled to go on a two-week tour through Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland and France, which was to end in the Audimax Hamburg. Multi-instrumentalist Manuel Göttsching accompanied Klaus on tour as a special guest.
This audio recording of the Hamburg Audimax concert was originally intended as a spontaneous...

"Re-Release of the impressing Klaus Schulze album „Das Wagner Desaster" - Klaus Schulze talks about „Das Wagner Desaster": "The title of this album, „The Wagner Desaster", has its origin in a concert that was given on the occasion of a Nietsche conference in Rome. Those who know a lot about music history and philosophy know that Friedrich Nietsche at some point turned again Richard Wagner and gave him a roasting. This was because Wagner had once told him to stop composing music as he wasn't capable of...

Klaus' 19th album, remastered from the original tapes and including a 24' bonus track (Constellation Andromeda). This came out in 1986, which is definitely past his prime-era, but having said that, I remember hearing this not long after it was released...

A new release by Klaus Schulze with previously unreleased and/or very rare material on the occasion of his 70th birthday!

"CD 1 contains a complete previously unreleased album, recorded by Klaus around year 2006/2007. On CD 2 we find with the 3 tracks "Schrittmacher", "Ion/Andromeda" and "Andromeda-The Grand Trance" titles written by Klaus for keyboard manufacturers and shared in very small amounts (300 pcs.) on music fairs. The theme "Andromeda" was released in a different, tight reduced version..

Over 25' of bonus material added!
"Album #18 in Klaus Schulze's prolific catalog, Inter*Face was described by many as a mixture between Irrlicht and Dune, both of which are devoid of any sound effects. The album garnered worldwide praise reaching as far as the US, with Synthetic Pleasure raving, 'This is electronic music in its finest form! Sweeping patterns that are alive with a power and pulsating beat that only Klaus Schulze can control. Here is the old Schulze that gave us Body Love, Moondawn and...
