In Blue
When "In Blue" was released in 1995, many fans thought that this was the most typical Klaus Schulze record for a long time. They were probably right because Klaus did the songs a little bit with the fans in mind for whom the sounds of the previous album were too modern. In this respect "In Blue" is a more traditional Schulze record and, also, because it featured Manuel Goettsching on "Return Of The Tempel". However, he didn't plan this. Somehow it came to his mind to ask Manuel if he won"t feel …

Join Inn
CD - Remastered by Manuel Göttsching. The original Ash Ra Tempel line-up got together to record Join Inn during breaks in the Tarot album recordings. The album's two lengthy tracks were completely improvised. The first, 'Freak 'n Roll' is basically self-explanatory(!) with Manuel Gottsching coming into his own with his talented, bluesy upbeat improvisations. 'Jenseits' (Beyond), on the other hand, is a showcase for Klaus Schulze's then new-found electronic sound painting skills. The lyrics on th…

Gilles Zeitschiff 2
CD Edition. Re-release of the original 1974 album by "Timothy Leary!" -- That was "Sternenmädchen" Gille Lettmann's almost breathed closing words on the 1974 album Gilles Zeitschiff, Vol. 1 . That same year, the Cosmic Crew Gille, Dieter Dierks, Jürgen Dollase, Harald Großkopf, and Mythos recorded Vol. 2, but it never came to a release at that time -- let's say: due to circumstances. Until now. Almost 50 years after its recording, Zeitschiff 2 can finally take off. Gilles conjures up Leary's spi…

Göttschin…

Blackdance 2017 Remastered
*Released in Digipak. Includes a 16-page booklet.* Blackdance is one of Klaus Schulze's best albums. There are lots of predictors that point to where his career would go. The tempo changes are smooth and sure and the sequences are varied -- some are deep and strong, others are long on atmosphere. Schulze mixes these elements seamlessly with experimental timbres and spatial textures. He adds an organ drone to give the disc a Baroque attitude and sinister overtones. This is more atmospheric than m…
Mirage 2017 Remastered
*Issued in gatefold digipak with clear tray and 16-page booklet.* 'In the long run, this album will establish Klaus Schulze as an outstanding composer of electronic music', said the reviewer of Record World back in 1977 when he heard Mirage. Mirage is a masterpiece. Schulze's flexibility in terms of spirit and final production is shown here in a bizarre electronic winter landscape. The music used for this re-release was carefully transferred from original old analog master-tapes to digital equip…
X 2017 Remastered

It contains two tracks, "Totem" and "Mental Door", which were recorded towards the end of 1974. The LP was released in January 1975 on the legendary Brain label. A British journalist attested to the publication's "hypnotic quality" at the time. In addition to the strong rhythm emphasis, the chirping, rising and falling synthesizer …
Moondawn 2017 Remastered
With "Big Moog" and Harald Grosskopf on drums: The cult album from 1976. For many fans of cosmic music from Germany, Schulze's sixth album "Moondawn", originally released in 1976, is considered a highlight in the musician's oeuvre, which is not exactly lacking in showpieces. Its cult status was due in particular to the use of a "Big Moog" for the first time, which draws attention to itself with a particularly fat sound. Furthermore, "Moondawn" was the first Klaus Schulze production to be made as…
Timewind
*Released in 6-panel Digipak. Includes a 16-page booklet.* Award-winning Wagner homage from 1975 – the hour of birth of "classical Schulze".

Released in August 1975, Timewind was awarded the Grand Prix Internationale du Disques by the French Charles Cros Academy in 1976. This award is similar to the German Record Prize and is usually reserve…
