Callisto played their first Hampshire Jam Festival on October 31st 2009. This album is a record of that performance. David Wright Wright was joined by Neil 'Geigertek' Fellowes (who replaces Dave Massey for live performances - DM doesn't do 'live').
The performance went down a storm with the audience. The Tangerine Dreams style melodic sequencer music comprised extended versions of two tracks from the forthcoming Callisto studio album "NYX" scheduled for February 2010 release, and the extended live performance is an excellent companion to the studio album. Some post production work has been done to the recording, which has been edited from the original room and house recordings and the rehearsal performances.

More than three years in the making, Nyx is a technical and musical masterpiece! Full of stunning rhythmic, sequencer style music, it's highly modern and original, yet paradoxically, reminds us of those glorious bygone days of moogs, mellotrons and a sense of electronic music adventure. The two Davids, Wright & Massey, use their Callisto project pseudonym to express a shared teutonic musical vision, so heavily influenced by Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Kraftwerk and Jean Michelle Jarre. Yet cleverly, Callisto haven't forgotten that those icons of the genre included a great sense of atmosphere, emotion and musical structure. So "Nyx" contains complex sequences and driving rhythms plus tremendous musical ideas and structure; four epic tracks that weave a magical spell for a colossal 76 minutes. This really is one classy album, utilising the latest computer technology alongside classic analog synths of the past. If you thought the 2004 offering "Signal to the Stars" was good, just wait until you feast on this unbelievable follow-up. Destined to be a genuine electronic music classic!

Artist: Atilla Can
P: 2003
This CD from 2003 features 64 minutes of electronic music recorded live at the Ankara International Music Festival in May of 2002. Atilla's electronics and drumming are accompanied by Murat Yucel on electric and classic guitars. Of Turkish ancestry, Can Atilla explores electronic territory in the footsteps of Tangerine Dream and Jean Michel Jarre, flavoring those influences with his own uniquely lively sensibilities. Dense keyboards belt out rapidly structured riffs with a frenetic passion, immediately drenching the audience with melodies that surge and cascade full of vigor and stamina. Sequencing provides lavish, growling under layers for the emphatic keyboards. A variety of clever electronic effects flavor the music with astral airs. Powerful percussion swiftly propels the music to epic proportions, adding larger-than-life rhythms that explode with authority. A sense of compelling grandeur is achieved, a majesty that expands with each passing minute. Fiery guitar-work embellishes the already hyperactive music, injecting ardent fury and cosmic demeanor. Possessing strong Tangerine Dream influences, Atilla forces an escalation of dazzle from those roots, generating tune age that is huge and impressively masterful. His audience reels before the sheer power of his music, dazed by its commanding presence and entranced by its engaging melodies.
To call this CD amazingly satisfying is a gross understatement.
 

Artist: Code Indigo
P: 2007
This stunning double album is already being hailed as the best Code Indigo work too date. Compiled from the groups live appearances in the UK and Europe between 2004 and 2006, culminating in the e-live festival in Holland and the UK Fisher Theatre appearance, "In Concert" is the definitive record of a band in perfect harmony, performing at the peak of their combined creative and musical talents.
“In Concert” has been lovingly compiled from digital 24 track recordings of each event and features reworked classics from the best selling album “For Whom the Bell”, plus exquisite live versions of music from “Uforia”, “Timecode” and “Chill”. There is also new live material, including the stunning epic “Area 52” and an improvised 12 minute gem “Entangled in C”, performed by David Wright and Robert Fox.
Andy Lobban's guitar has never been better, from the delicate beauty of Autumn Fades to the searing leads on Eden to Chaos. Nigel Turner-Heffer's base guitar underpins Dave Massey's computer generated rhythms to great effect, and Nigel's occasional lead guitar duets with Andy gives the live versions yet another dimension. Robert Fox's chords and piano and David Wright's atmospherics and leads are in perfect unison, and so with Louise Eggerton appearing as a guest on a couple of tracks, the two and a half hours flows smoothly and effortlessly between foot tapping power and gentle beauty and back again.
“Code Indigo In Concert” perfectly captures the live energy, excitement and warmth of one of the UKs premier electronic rock bands, making it a “must have” for any Code Indigo fan, or indeed, any lover of original instrumental rock music with melody, soul and purpose.

Artist: Harald Grosskopf
P: 1999
This music was composed and played 1980, just during and after his collaboration with Klaus Schulze. This was his first solo CD and all his musical forces he learned since the seventies was melt into this powerful music. Even the famous radiostation WDR 1 with the radioshow Schwingungen selectet his track: "So weit, so gut" as intro. So what to say about this all:
it is one of the best synthesizer CDs ever made.
 

Artist: Heimann
P: 2010   
A fresh melodic album produced in an excellent Heimann-typical sound! Pleasingly accessible though touching titles remind us of his successful albums like "Touch The Sky" and "Twilight Voyager". Heimann created many new ideas by combining dreamy melodies and harmonies with decently driving beats.
Recommendable to all fans of melodic electronic music!

The track Coral Island Memories was voted to be the best track in 1996. The music is somewhere in between trance and melodic electronicmusic. It has strong sequencer influences with uptodate trance rave rhythms. Recommanded for everyone who likes melodic electronic music.
 

Artist: Joerg Strawe
P: 1993
This is a tribute to the legendary Yamaha CS80 Synthesizer, which Vangelis used, best known on his Bladerunner-Soundtrack.
The music was played on the original instrument of Klaus Schulze.
Some tracks are melodic some are spacemusic.

Dark and light moments out of the life of the starving wolves are the themes of the CD.
Versatile tracks reflect the events around them. Sometimes with natural sounds and environments. Many sequences and a lot of different synthesizersounds are the perfect combination for this CD.

Artist: Klaus Schulze & Wahnfried
P: 1997/ 2006
Through the end of the 70s and onwards, Klaus Schulze often recorded and performed under the pseudonym Richard Wahnfried, an homage to one of his most beloved influences, Richard Wagner. Originally released in 1997, Drums `n' Balls is one of such recordings, a decendant Ambient search for a depth shrouded in infinite atmospheric beauty, played through the unique vision of Klaus Schulze. The definitive version of Drums `n' Balls is remastered and housed in a stylish digipak with deluxe booklet with new liner notes and is numbered for collectors and features the bonus track, Chicken Biryani.

Evoking power, purification, enchantment and lyrical relaxation together with a biological rhythm that became music these are the five pieces that make up this pulsing mosaic of poetry set to music . That was the opinion of Body Love 2 by the German Music Magazine "Stereoplay" in June 1978.

Almost exactly 30 years after its first release, SPV/Revisited re-release this classic album in a high-class digipack with bonus track and expanded booklet including new liner notes and photos. A must for fans of electronic sounds!

Klaus Schulze in his Berlin School years!

Artist: Klaus Schulze
P: 1986/ 2005
Nr.:19
The four tracks that make up 1987 Dreams fit well into Klaus’ late 80’s work and, as well, disappear into a world of their own. The title track has been said to be the most disturbing of his works while Five To Four works upon Oriental colours and textures. A Classical Move and the 24+ minute Klaustrophony relate closer to the uneven rhythms and experimental stretches and drives coupled with dark synth sounds more common of Klaus Schulze’s works.
The previously unreleased 24 minute Constellation Andromeda has been added as a bonus track to the new edition.

En=Trance is one of his more experimental and offbeat discs; it borders on avant-garde.

Artist: Klaus Schulze
P: 1996/ 2007
Produced & mixed by Klaus Schulze.
Composed, played & arranged by Richard Wahnfried & Jörg Schaaf.

KDM describes it: “Marooned” (13:12) is a track which I received from Klaus a few years after "Trance Appeal". It was part of twelve CD-Rs full of studio recordings by Klaus (and guests), planned for another set release that later became the five (or six) CD set “Contemporary Works 2".
The present bonus track is a little part from the fifty percent of then unreleased music. On both sessions (the orginal TRANCE APPEAL as well as on the bonus) Klaus is joined by Joerg Schaaf, and both sessions were indeed designated for Klaus’ “Wahnfried” project and albums.
