KLAUS SCHULZE

"CONTEMPORANY WORKS" (10 CD Box)

Rainhorse / Manikin Records

This 10 CD box by Klaus Schulze is defined as a collection of contemporany works by him. The peculiar style of Schulze's can be perceived in its varied facets throughout this collection. Schulze explores numerous musical terrains, from Pop to Classical music, passing through Space, Trance, New Instrumental Music, World Music, and many others. Each piece includes several different parts, each one of which is close to some given style of the ones mentioned above. Some themes are slow, but others turn out to have a quite energetic rhythm. The rhythmic structure of the music tends to be based on the sequencers as a general rule, as well as on the percussion typical of pop. Some pieces are purely instrumental, whereas others include voice. Several passages are cold, mysterious. Others turn out to be warm, emotional. There are some parts entirely devoted to experimentation. Others show rhythmic structures apt for dancing. Some passages are ideal to let imagination soar through unearthly worlds. A certain nostalgic air is present in most of the compositions. Accompanying Schulze, the following artists participated: Julia Messenger (lyrics), Thomas Kagerman (flute, vocals, violin), Jorg Schaaf (electronics), Solar Moon System, O'Finken (guitar), Razoof (drums), Tom Dams (vocoder, lyrics...), George Boskamp (synths...), Wolfganf Tiepold (cello), Tobias Becker (oboe).
