With KONTINUUM (76'22"), Klaus Schulze attracts new fans
while holding old ones. His early works of the 1970s summon a
mysterious cosmic energy - emanating from the nexus of
technology and thought. With new instruments and works came
a new way of listening and the construct of music began to
dematerialize into a heightened inexpressible experience.
Showing maturity and confidence KONTINUUM finds Schulze
retreating back to his stripped down "kosmisch" sound. This
release explores the fascinating and inexhaustible sequencer
music of a classic era. As the three pieces form, climb and
sustain, listeners are pulled into a highly distinctive
dreamscape. Tone patterns weave and collide as solo synth
lines dance above. Synthetic strings draw long lines across a
cool digital plane. Schulze is at home in this endlessly inventive
genre. The old adage, "in youth we learn, in age we understand",
suggests we have much more left to hear from this robust
musician.
Tune in to STAR'S END this weekend for music from Klaus
Schulze and the new CD KONTINUUM
