IRRLICHT

There are no synths on this one, for sure. But is that better? 'Irrlicht', Schulze's first studio album, is an artistic ambient album. All instrumental, minimal in sound variation, but powerful in instrumentation. Klaus Schulze uses an orchestra to elevate his sound and the ambience is superb. 'Satz Ebene' is a long piece that utilizes electric organs only as background (something that would change in his later works) and the orchestra and strings take the stage. 'Satz Gewitter' is a relatively short composition with an organ that fades in and out. This is great. The delicate synths and other weird noises create a dark, moody atmosphere. This might be my favorite song on this album. There is supposed to be some sort of segue between this song and 'Satz Ebene', so you should check that out. Then is 'Sats Exil Sils Mari', which I find quite boring. It just fades in and out for fifteen minutes with the same sounds until it changes up a bit. Those last six minutes are great, but everything else is weak. But this is still a great album. Maybe not Schulze's absolute best, but worth a shot. Prog on.
