As one of the original members of Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze certainly blazed some important trails on the virgin terrain of early-1970s electronic music--trails that would grow wide enough to accommodate millions of travelers throughout the '80s, '90s, 2000s, and beyond, and encompass everything from New Age and ambient music to drone and chill-out techno. The same commitment to innovation marks Schulze's solo discography, from which 1976's MOONDAWN emerges as one of the highlights.
Comprising two long compositions ("Floating" and "Mindphaser"), MOONDAWN is vintage, ambient space music generated by various analog synthesizers (foremost of which is the Moog, the key instrument Schulze used to sculpt his signature sound). Not only is MOONDAWN an important document in the early chapters of electronica, but it stands up remarkably well beside the countless albums it helped inspire.
Recorded at Studio P-anne-Paulsen, Frankfurt, Germany.
Personnel: Klaus Schulze (organ, keyboards, synthesizer); Haraold Grobkopf (drums).

Moondawn
 $13.55 
This classic album by Klaus Schulze opens with "Velvet Voyage," a minimal, echoing electronic composition that sounds like a lonely satellite drifting as it passes alone though the hollow quiet of the universe. These swirling electronics--frequently described as space music--suggest the infinite movement of weightlessness. When distant organ chords (and distorted vocal whispering) turn into heavenly melodies, it is obvious we have arrived at "Crystal Lake," which is not space at all, but an alternate reality crammed with brilliant, shimmering fields of energy. Pleasantly chaotic sonic elements are slowly introduced until they reach the frenzied crescendo of a synthesizer orchestra. Schulze has said he's interested in creating music for alternative worlds, and this marvelous album makes good on those intentions.

| | Klaus Schulze X CDs (1978) Bonus Track
Moondawn
$18.05 
Each track on X or "Ten" (since it's Schulze's 10th release ) is titled after a famous German personality, but it's the provocative electronic music behind the names that makes this one of his best albums. On this two-CD set, Schulze's sequencer is joined by electric guitar and drums, that pleasingly bring an earthy, simple feel to his pastiches. Still captivating and alluring with his multi-keyboard entourage, the tracks each exhibit a personality all their own. "Friedrich Nietzsche" is the most vibrant of all six, harboring a complex but attractive aura. A true pioneer at his craft, Schulze's X is one of the more definitive albums of his career.
This re-release of a classic Klaus Schulze album has some little differences from the formerly available CD version. The former CD of "X." was altered in sound (not to everybody's delight) and some tracks were a bit shorter as on the original vinyl album. Therefore, the music used for this re-release was carefully transferred from original old analogue master tapes to digital equipment. And for those listeners who have already everything of Klaus Schulze, there is a remarkable concert version of "Ludwig", played ...

| | Klaus Schulze Irrlicht CD (1972)
Moondawn
$15.39
1972's IRRLICHT is where it all begins. Over three lengthy tracks, saturnine string motifs are pitted against surging drone and sheeting downpours of synthetic organ. It's a dense, often blisteringly dissonant clash of orchestral crescendos and synthesizer swells with little in the way of conventional melody, but texture and tonal complexity to burn. "Satz Ebene" sounds like one of Bach's magisterial pipe-organ works performed on a distant planet's barren surface. "Satz Gewitter" is a harrowing coda fortified with sci-fi sonics. The contemplative "Satz Exil Sils Maria" encroaches like a lunar dusk as Schulze slowly draws a curtain of cosmic shadow over the event horizon.
A founding member of such notable Krautrock ensembles as Tangerine Dream, Ash Ra Tempel, and Cosmic Jokers, Klaus Schulze is genuinely deserving of the oft-assigned ...

| | Suzanne Doucet Resonance CD (2002)
Moondawn
$13.49
On this impressive collaboration with visual artist Gary Miraz, Suzanne Doucet's skills as a composer and instrumentalist are on display. As one might guess from the title, RESONANCE is full of deep, stirring music. Though generated largely by synthesizer, the sounds on the album never feel processed, but instead come across as highly organic.
Miraz and Doucet's atmospheric washes recall the classic ambient music of Brian Eno, with a subtle hint of heady electronica from the early 2000s. Miraz and Doucet file the edges ...
