"X" is one mighty and truly legendary studio album from September 1978. On these 6 tracks that were dedicated to Nietzsche, Trakl, Herbert, Bach, Kleist and Ludwig II, Klaus Schulze made clear that he was the master of synthesizer music, after one German magazine counted Schulze second to Michael Rother, in the list of the most popular German musicians.
This re-release of THE classic Klaus Schulze album has some little differences from the formerly available CD version. The former CD version of "X" had the sound altered (not to everybody's delight) and some tracks were a bit shorter than on the original vinyl album. Therefore, the music used for this re-release has been more carefully transferred to digital equipment from the original analogue master tapes. As a twenty-one minute bonus track, there is a remarkable concert version of 'Ludwig' called "Objet D'Louis", played in September 1978 during a concert by KS together with a classical orchestra.
The line-up for the "X" album was : Klaus Schulze (Big Moog, PPG Synthesizer and Sequencer, Mini Moogs, ARP Odyssey, Korg Poly Synthi, Poly Moog, EMS Synthi A, Mellotron, Tom Toms on "Friedemann Bach", Tom Toms and a cymbal on "Heinrich Von Kleist"), Harald Grosskopf (drums), Wolfgang Tiepold (Cello on "Heinrich Von Kleist") and B. Dragic (solo violin on "Friedemann Bach").
DeLuxe Edition incl. Bonus Track & enhanced booklet with new photos & liner notes.
