the co-founder of the Berlin School on Electronics has quite a catelog of albums. What do you consider his best? I would say that Moondawn was a landmark album and Body Love improved on the concept. The rest are hit and miss IMO. Timewind to Mirage to X are probably along the lines of what I would call next up. The Cosmic Jokers Galactic Supermarket is probably his best collaboration as he works basically with Ash Ra Temple, Wallenstein and Dieter Derks. So my top 3 would be: Klaus Schulze - Moondawn Klaus Schulze - Body Love Cosmic Jokers - Galactic Supermarket
NEXT! |

| "Meditarranean" is a great one, some of the earliest & best MIDI music. |

Moondawn is my favorite Klaus Schulze album  : great sequencing, wonderful Farfisa organ and exciting fat Moog synthesizer runs, his most captivating effort in my opinion and Timewind is second best.

IMHO. I believe he was in the middle of a 'purple patch' around the time of Moondawn. Innovative! -------------

| So guys, I don't have any Schulze and really want too check his classic period out. Where do I start? I was thinking about starting with X since it's a double album and seems too be loved by many. Is this the place too start? I'm not worried about it being a "Hard" listen and will give it the proper many spins to sink in if necessary. Laser's Edge has the remaster along with many other releases by him so it won't be a problem too locate. |

I personally would start at Timewind or Black Dance. Then work back toward Irrlich and forward toward X.Then take in some Cosmic Jokers and Ash Ra Tempel once you have familiarised yourself with his music.
In other words;Start in the mid-70s and work out-ward both ways.back and forth..Ooo-er.  -------------

Irrlicht
Cyborg Timewind Moondawn Body love X and also "Mirage", a masterpiece. |

I prefer by fare the "artisanal" fantasy and imagination of his first organ and electronic manipulations works: "Irrlicht" and the double album "cyborg" From his classic era I consider "Mirage" as the summit of his musical creativity...similar material in moondawn, Timewind and Body Love but the compositions are much more "consistent" -------------

| Ah Mr. Schulze my fav solo artist of all time along with Tangerine Dream as my fav group. He is still making great music today but is looking quite unwell in the recent photos on his website. His 70's period is a good place to start but all periods of his music have treasures awaiting to be found by anyone whos interested. |

I see Dreams isn't too popular. I like it quite a bit, and it's easily better than En=Trance, which, as one poster opined, is rather bland, boring.
Favorite? Easy: that's got to be X!

| anyone familar with the late 70's french band ZED(Visions of Dune)? or the german Wolfgang Bock(Cycles). very good stuff similar to Klaus late 70's output without being copycat(unless you think anyone that plays a Stratocaster is a Hendrix-clone), maybe better! |

Neuronium (Michel Huygen, and Carlos Guirao on the early stuff) has some good albums. One-time Eloy keyboardist Manfred Weiczorke made an electronic album in 1986 called Transfer. It's not very Schulzian, overall, but very good. I think you'd like it. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

Btw, do you have a source for a CD (reissue, preferably, or unabridged version) of Neuronium's Vuelo Quimico? I used to have that on cassette! ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

"The Dresden Performance" shows that Schulze can still make a really good album after all those years!

I have heard some of the Wahnfrie projects, and they are quite good. I
don't have them all, but can safely say that "Time Actor" is very
different from Schulze's "normal" repertoire.
