KLAUS SCHULZE-
PICTURE MUSIC
(NEW LP) (SPALAX)
limited edition reissue on vinyl
Recorded in 1973 already, 'Picture Music' wasn't released til' '75, on Schulze's legendary Brain Label, due to some legal problems.
When finally out, Schulze had already reached cult status and travelled around Europe to do concerts.
For this re-release the original French cover by Jacques Wyrs.
Tracks:
1.- Totem
2.- Mental Door
Recorded in August 1973 (shortly after Cyborg), Klaus Schulze's Picture Music was not released until January 1975.
Track 1 , 'Totem', is an ambient soundscape, a near 24 minute 'otherwordly' atmosphere created by Klaus, formed out of percussive synth sequences, and drifting synth chords.
The equipment stated on the back cover is : an EMS Synth 3 - sounds, ARP odysee - strings/percussion and a Farfisa Organ, as well as an acoustic drums set-up, which brings us to the second track, 'Mental Door', which is a more energetic piece, starting with brooding organ chords and sweeping synth effects, building to a frenetic frenzy of lead synth and manic drumming.
You'll be amazed at the excitement this album generates.
