Took a minute but we're back with a vengeance and a heaping helping of Synthy Berliner Klaus Schulze!
We gushed about Klaus's drumming in our Tangerine Dream and Ash Ra Tempel episodes. Funny thing, though: Klaus's FIFTY-PLUS-YEAR career as a solo artist was a largely drums-free endeavor. Starting with 1972's Irrlicht, which he hacked together with a wonky amp, broken organ, some delay effects and a taped orchestral rehearsal, Klaus Schulze set aside conventional rock forms and committed himself to revolutionizing popular music.
By the time he recorded Moondawn in '76, Klaus had gathered an impressive rack of electronics—most recently and notably Florian Fricke's prized Moog III synthesizer. With "the Big Moog" in tow, Klaus delivered ... 50? 80? 100? let's just call it a TRUCKLOAD of electronic LPs. Along the way, he assumed the title of Godfather of Techno. This was certainly well-earned.
Join us as we rock out and/or ask hard questions about Schulze and his groundbreaking records Irrlicht and Moondawn!
