ANGST (OST)

There's nothing to be enthusiastic about this soundtrack made by Klaus Schulze. There's no longer the presence of gorgeous, out space loops or moving, floating analog synth strings that caracterizes so well his classic period. The music here is only made of minimal soundscapings with some naive pop-ish moments. All compositions are really passable if not mediocre. This is a kind of common mix between glacial abstract melodies and kitschy sci-fi atmospheres for B movies. Regarding the materials used and the constant access to minimal-accessible melodies, this album is in the direct vein of Klaus Schulze & Rainer Bloss fruiful collaboration. The best soundtracks written by Klaus Schulze definitely remain the scary-intense-majestic-intricate Body Love I & II. I frankly believe that Schulze didn't success to renew his style after the seventies. Dune is probably the last that belongs to his golden years. Published in 1981 and in1983 Trancefer / Audentity announce a certain musical decline and an opening door to easy-listening, friendly radio-ish electronic grooves. Babel and Dig it are for sure his two best 80's albums because they bring something new to his musical aesthetism without being mainstream. It's absolutely not the case with the conventional Angst.
