RARITIES

Artist: Klaus Schulze
P: 1985 / 1997
Originally released in 1985, Inter*Face is album no. 18 in the Klaus Schulze catalogue and is not one of his typical 80s recordings, coming across like a mixture between Irrlicht and Dune, mixing mystical orchestral soundscapes on solid rhythm ground, sans effects. The Revisited Records new deluxe edition includes the original and full length Colours In The Darkness that was edited for release on the vinyl edition and the bonus track Nichtarische Arie.
All tracks are composed and recorded in July and August 1985 by Klaus Schulze in Hambühren, Germany.
Klaus Schulze - keyboards, sequencers, percussion
Ulli Schober - Gongs, timpanies, congas
’Inter*Face’ was, in 1985, Klaus Schulze’s 18th album, which came out between the releases of ‘Audentity’ and ‘Dreams’. However, it cannot be seen as a typical Schulze album.
‘On the Edge’ is supported by pounding disco beats; peculiar sequencer dominate on ‘Colours in the Darkness’; ‘The Beat Planante’ comes across somewhat fragile with its synth sounds; and the final track, which is quite long, also holds little treasures.

Klaus Schulze's Royal Festival Hall is a challenging two-volume CD set which is sold separately. This album marks a further evolution in Klaus' long and creative career. ...
These two CDs have a combination of live and studio tracks. However the live tracks are well-conceived. Each CD has one live track spanning approximately 45 minutes, with other, smaller tracks to fill each CD to about 70 minutes. It is impressing how multifaced the compositions are. ...these tracks are composed of many separate movements as one. Schulze uses sampling to effectively construct immense surreal, often cubist soundscapes. ...
The live tracks reflect a certain collage structure not found on previous live albums. Moreover they aren't as melodic as the live track on The Dresden Performance, but there is more to explore here. It's amazing to imagine these tracks live. You may find this music to be refreshingly more challenging and delightfully more complex. In either case, with nearly 140 minutes of music, there's a lot for everyone.

Initially intended as a "thank you" concert in five pieces for the (then) East German audience on August 5th 1989, police restrictions forced Klaus to shorten his performance to only two pieces (Dresden 1 and 2). The remaining three pieces were recorded in studio March-May 1990.

Originally released in 1975, Timewind is one of the most revered and mesmerizing recordings in the extensive Klaus Schulze catalogue and certainly the best known globally. Says Mike DeGagne on The All-Music Guide: "Dedicated to Richard Wagner, Timewind is a 60-minute electronic expedition that is broken up into two half-hour tracks, Bayreuth Return and Wahnfried 1883. The first 30 minutes involves icy pulsations and lengthy tonal flights that unnoticeably converge into each other. While one rhythm gains momentum, the other one slowly fades into a bubbly electronic bath of bright swirls and meandering keyboard waves. Similar to early Tangerine Dream, the music here rises and falls above a distant sonic horizon, and the effect is truly mesmerizing. One specific flow can last for minutes, while small, detailed noises adhere themselves to the main electronic run. On the second track, more of the same far-off synthesized altering takes place, but the washes of keyboard become inoculated with a sharper, more precise sound. Longer notes build into resilient pieces with the same comforting result. This album will sketch a barren wasteland in the mind through the wispiness of the wind-like effects. Timewind serves as splendid mood music, and the ears are forever kept busy following Schulze's electronic wandering."

Klaus Schulzes first attempt to write an opera with his music. Some parts remind on Georg Trakl from "X". And some musicparts sound like his music on "The Dome Event".

"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.

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").

"Wahnfried" is actually a side project for Klaus Schulze. Schulze has offered a couple of reasons why the Wahnfried project. One is that it gives him a chance to collaborate with other artists, although he has done that on Schulze albums as well. The other is that it gives him a chance to explore different musical territories, which it definitely has. Wahnfried's first few efforts were in a more "rock" vein, while the last three covered techno territory. This one however, sounds like a mixture of a few earlier Klaus Schulze albums, and probably would have fit under his own name. Track 1 is with Steve Jollife (flute) and starts with synths and flute, reminding me of Edgar Froese's "Stuntman" album. After a few minutes the sequencer comes on, and the middle piece of the track sounds like "Trancefer", with flute instead of cello. Track 2 starts off with "Wahnfried 1883" (from "Timewind") type ambience, when a "Body Love" sequence starts to bubble, mixed with Michael Shrieve-ish percussion, although he doesn't play on this album. Fans of early 80's Klaus Schulze should really like this, as it sounds more "Schulzian" than one would expect, coming under the Wahnfried name.
