Drive Inn is another album recorded by the duo of two Germans: Klaus Schulze and Rainer Bloss. This is the only album of theirs where the latter is the full contributor. Usually the album is attributed to Klaus Schulze and listed in his discography.
For Klaus, this was an experiment. Nevrtheless "Drive Inn" is the first album of his that features short compositions. They were written with truck drivers in mind. The compositions are either electronically aggressive, or they are monotonous in a typical Schulzian way.
The album can be pretty much summarized as follows: rhythm, rhythm and a bunch of wild sounds thrown in from time to time.

The heavy rhythmic songs with weird noises are considered by some to be too clinical but, as a fan, you play these songs loud, really loud. The tracks on cd #1 are all more than 20 minutes long so they create a euphoric trance. The shorter numbers on cd #2 are more tranquil. The track order has been revised on this reissue to create room for a bonus track of almost 60 minutes. This is “Gem”, the original soundtrack of an Australian horror movie “Next Of Kin”, recorded in 1982. Because of the type of movie it’s from, the music is obviously dark and scary with a rhythm that reminds one of chopping axes and Jason masks, not very jolly and certainly not for weak stomachs (but very very good).

The handful of concerts in big cities in Poland marked the end of a very long concert tour during the first half of 1983. Many praising words were written and said about these gigs in huge halls in front of many thousands of enthusiastic Polish fans.
Both CDs include one bonus track. “Dzien dobry!” is, as the title suggests, also taken from a Polish concert recording. It’s from the town of Gdansk which happened to be the very last day of the long “Audentity” tour in 1983. It is a version of the classic Schulze track “Spielglocken”.
The other bonus is not a concert recording but it’s the same era, from the early eighties.
Klaus Schulze – electronics
Rainer Bloss - keyboards
