Do Synthesists Dream of Electric Bleeps?
Thanks to volumes like this one, no longer can newcomers (or even diehard enthusiasts) desiring Klaus Schulze's music use the excuse of its unavailability to deny themselves the pleasure of experience. Already, the glut of this singular musician's back catalog has been revived in full, beautifully reissued and repackaged; all of his original, notoriously hard-to-find (well, at least for those of us living on the other side of the Atlantic pond) recordings, most containing additional tracks, are now easily obtainable, and instantly collectable.
The ear can become reacquainted with the vast expanse of Schulze music from its earliest beginnings right up and into its modern incarnations, robust with the now-patented lengthy irises, numerous kaleidoscopic events, and still-innovative breadth of tonalities that have become the artist's stock-in-trade. Those recordings maximized the limitless potential of his digital arsenal, an extension of the sampling techniques he has mastered to galvanizing effect over the last 10-plus years, but somehow the "purity" of his earlier analogue experiments not only hold his recorded corpus in better stead, it bespeaks of an imagistic vitality that's hardly diminished decades down the road.
