Klaus Schulze - Berlin 1

http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=15935

Klaus Schulze's Berlin 1 isn't really an official Klaus Schulze album.

It's actually a sampler cassette, released in a quick and sporadic cover in 1986 (so not 1976, the year of the live recording!!), sold out and left as a bootleg or, best, as a cassette or "lone track" release.

Furthermore, the piece within this album was re-released, in a longer version, in one of the bonus CDs from The Ultimate Edition. Since that is an official box release, I think the sampler cassette shouldn't have an entry of itself.

I realize that philippe already put a good word for it, it's undeniable that this is a good to be affirmed Klaus Schulze music record, but the circumstances (cassette release; music already available on a more official box release) would comply that Berlin 1 shouldn't be a separate album in Klaus Schulze's page.

please check out the official discography and decided if it's good or not:

(it's under Lonely Tracks)

and here's actually another insight:

by this, the 20 minutes Schulze piece is part of an electronic compilation, meant to celebrate Dutch KLEM magazine 25th anniversary.

It is NOT a Schultz album therefore, and the official Schultz website is misleading. Question is: do we want to retain it? If so then it should be switched to VA.

(but I don't like misspells on Schulze )

It doesn't sound like the various artists are 100% progressive. Nor that the label shares a deep major stock within progressive electronic artists.

So I wouldn't keep the record.

Bob has kindly done the deed ... Berlin 1 is no more
