Product Description:
Klaus Schulze’s second album was originally a double L.P. released in October 1973 and the new Revisited Records definitive release finally places the tracks in the correct sequencing, previously impossible to due the time constraints of the vinyl running time. Schulze fans who have yet to discover his very early work really should give this a listen; Cyborg is certainly a stunning recording, always challenging, often preposterous, sometimes disturbing, this is Schulze at his absolute purest. The Revisited Records new deluxe edition includes the 51 minute bonus track, But Beautiful, recorded four years after Cyborg at the famous concert in Brussels’ St. Michael Cathedral on the 17th of October 1977. This audience recording is the last not yet released from this historic event and it fits perfectly here, with both its length and atmosphere, as it gives the sometimes harsh avantgarde sounds of Cyborg a more beautiful conclusion. Klaus Schulze first attracted attention as a member of the German progressive rock band, Tangerine Dream. Following the release of their debut LP, Electronic Meditation, he departed for a solo career. Klaus' recorded work typically features extended pieces sometimes filling an entire album built around computer-generated synthesizers and other specially programmed electronic effects. Klaus Schulze remains a cult figure in the United States, where the bulk of his prolific output has until now been available only through the import bins. He is widely considered an avant-garde mainstay as well as a founding father of both the new-age space music and electronica genres.
Customer Reviews:
 not really my thing, but good enough, 2008-09-09
While I'm not normally a fan of background music, I guess this Klaus Schulze album provided a decent enough listen. For the most part, I felt the songs were too long, and lacking enough interesting ideas. Some of the sound effects were rather upfront and annoying too. But there WAS also lots of softer and more relaxing parts that dominated the majority of the music. It was alright I guess, but not something I will ever purchase.
