Schulze, Klaus

Artist: Klaus Schulze
P: 1984
Originally released in 1984 as the soundtrack for the Austrian judicial scandal documentary film, Angst (a.k.a. Schizophrenia), Schulze’s music acted as a storyline for the unedited film, rather than incidental music added to a completed story, thus allowing the score to drive the film. As stand alone music, Angst is typical of Schulze’s moody, serene and atmospheric symphonic synth bent. The bonus track, Silent Survivor, was recently uncovered in the search for masters and has been previously unreleased.
Here the Thunderbolt label version.

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).
DeLuxe Edition incl. Bonus Track & enhanced booklet with new photos & liner notes

‘Ballett 1’ was originally part of the out-of-print 10CD box ‘Contemporary Works’.
After ‘Vanity of Sounds’ and ‘The Crime of Suspense’, ‘Ballett 1’ is a further album that is available on its own.
’Ballett 1’ – the first of four albums in this series – was produced together with cellist Wolfgang Tiepold, who was also involved in the 78s work ‘X’ and ‘Dune’, ‘Trancefer’ and ‘Audentity’. Tiepold enjoyed much freedom for his solos, as for instance on ‘Agony’, on which his music is intensively wide-ranging.
Ballett 2 from Contemporary Works I was also re-released. It is identical to the original release, with no bonus material. For those unable to purchase the complete 10-CD set before, this is a wonderful opportunity to explore this daring work, showing Schulze at his adventurous best.
The moody “Atmosp’ere Concr’ete” starts things off, slowly churning for a few minutes before launching into the 30-minute epic “Kagi’s “Agony” from Ballett 1. Classic smooLament”.Though not overly cheerful, it is not nearly so downcast as th synth pads meld with Wolfgang Tiepold’s wonderful cello playing, as Thomas Kagermann adds flute, violin, and non-intrusive vocals that serve as a third contributing instrument.
“Wolf’s Ponticelli” picks up the pace if not the melancholy mood as crisp percussive rhythms ensue, along with strong synth soloing throughout.
Breathy wood flutes add a nice twist to “The Smile of Shadows” and bring the disc to a successful conclusion.

One of Klaus’ strongest discs from the 10-CD Contemporary Works I collection, Ballett 4, showcases some fine melancholy mellotron solos, beginning appropriately enough with “Mellowtrone.”
Lush synth pads and mellotron strings intertwine in perfect harmony. The music is intentionally kept simple; no other layers are added, the intensity stays low, and the subdued mood is maintained throughout.
Drums ‘n’ bass fade in as “Soft ‘n’ Groovy” begins. One would not normally associate cello with “groovy,” but then Schulze was never one for convention. Crisp percussion is added as this one moves leisurely evolves over the course of a half hour. Cool synths and occasional male vocals add a vaguely eastern feel to the music midway through.
