Klaus Schulze – Vocs in the Dark II
Biography
Germany (1947 – present)
In 1969, Klaus Schulze was the drummer of one of the early incarnations of Tangerine Dream for their debut album Electronic Meditation. In 1970 he left this group to form Ash Ra Tempel with Manuel Göttsching. In 1971, he chose again to leave a newly-formed group after only one album, this time to mount a solo career.
In 1972, Schulze released his debut album Irrlicht with organ and a recording of an orchestra filtered almost beyond recognition. Despite the lack of synthesizers, this proto-ambient work is regarded as a milestone in electronic music. The follow up, Cyborg, was similar but added the EMS Synthi A synthesizer. Some highlights of his early career are Moondawn (1976), Mirage (1977) and Dune (1979). He often took aspects of German culture and history as a starting point in his compositions, particularly on his album “X” (the title signifying it was his tenth album) in 1978 which was subtitled ‘Six Musical Biographies,’ including such notables as Ludwig II of Bavaria, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Wilhelm Friedemann Bach.

On my Podcast this week we had a chat about Klaus Schulze's album Irrlicht in our seven week discussion on krautrock. If any of those words interested you (what are you doing on this page if they didn't...), you should listen: http://lastpodcastshow.com/2013/05/15/episode-93b-one-of-us-is-the-killer-demo-tapes-krautrock-die-wunder-jahre-1970-1975-klaus-schultze-irrlicht-1972/

ZakBlayde: Cyborg, X, Timewind. All 3 are masterworks so I would suggest listening to those before exploring further, though you can't really go wrong with most of his 70's catalogue.

It is my understanding that there is a global movement towards digital electronic music and this is happening across most music genres, even with classical composers. Klause has been, IMO, a highly creative pioneering innovator. One may listen to many other similar composers but it is always with the greatest joy to return to Klause's outstanding music. I love this man's music it infuses my psyche and resonates in every fibre of my being. Fantastic and stunning.

More of this music needs to be streamable on last.fm. I have all the 70s stuff on vinyl, I just need to get around to digitizing it. For now Grooveshark is making it possible for me to listen to some of it.
