big ups for this one!!! we want a second part!!!

Elektronika #68

After having made one studio-album, and two Live-DVDs and albums with Lisa Gerrard, Klaus Schulze thought it was time to give the world back the “pure” Klaus Schulze again.

Having been invited by his big Japanese Fan, Mr. Gen Fujita, he and his crew flew to Tokyo to play his very first solo concerts since November 2003. The concerts in Tokyo in March 2010 were remarkable for many reasons. First of all, the Japanese crew rebuilt Klaus‘ legendary and extraordinary equipment exactly the same way as you can see it at his European concerts.  Considering the fact that this equipment includes a lot of rare instruments and devices, the Japanese crew did a great job. Secondly, the concert itself contained some surprises: It was the first time that Klaus Schulze rebuilt and remodeled his classic “Crystal Lake” (original released 1977 on the album “Mirage”), renamed here as: “The Crystal Returns”. Also astonishing was the fact that Klaus played electric guitar on the track, “Sequencers Are Beautiful” - of course in his own, totally unconventional way.

In all, these were breathtaking concerts that combined Klaus’ tradition and vision: You will love the sequencer-sounds as well as the new components. And of course, the DVD gives you the perfect vision of these intense and atmospheric performances.

“Big In Japan” had already been released in Japan as a box-set, limited to 500 copies.

This European version is slightly different: The track “Sequencers Are Beautiful” (in the Japan-Edition only available on DVD) can be found here as the second track on the first CD. Along with a new stylish package, these historic moments are now available for every Klaus Schulze fan!

La Joyeuse Apocalypse

Legendary electro producer Carl Finlow makes his return to Science Cult with a 2x12 LP on white vinyl. From start to finish “Plasmoids” delivers with expertly crafted electro. Mr Finlow’s production skills are present across a variety of styles from the cyber funk inspired “Trimonogogo” to the retro-styled “Relic”. This is an album not just for fans of Carl Finlow’s work, but a showcase of electro at its finest.

Borgtronix - Limited Edition CD (borg46 Teaser Clips)

It is with unusual excitement that we are pleased to present our first release from a Spanish producer Alpha Visitor currently based in Germany.

Slightly inspired by Carpenter's film They Live, this album is a critical stance towards the savage capitalist system strongly based on consumerism governed by a possibly reptilian global plutocracy and represented in large corporations like BlackRock. It is a sci-fi electro album with IDM touches and slightly crazy melodies.

Tracklist:
1. Hyperboreal 
2. Scarlet Maschinen
3. Phurdue Pharma
4. Reptilian Lodge
5. Obey and Reproduce
6. BlackRock
7. Die Grosse Babylon
8. Knocking Your Door
9. Modelling Inhabitant
10. Chromenostalgia

| PREMIERE | Dirk Wiertz - Oracle | [Tiger Weeds]

Re-Release of Klaus Schulze’s “Androgyn” (originally released 2002 as part of the strictly limited and long exhausted 5CD Boxset “Contemporary Works II”).

The first track on “Androgyn” has again, like on “Another Green Mile”, the cello of Wolfgang Tiepold and some odd voice samples added to interesting synth sounds. The long second track has Klaus on electric guitar and for good reason it's called "Back To The Future": Klaus plays the guitar with a "Gleiteisen", a piece of iron that he used in the "cosmic slide guitar technique" from old Ash Ra Temple times, 32 years ago. The next four tracks belong together. "There's No Mystery" has a voice and the adequate and efficient cello again...and of course it has Klaus' famous string accord in the back; you already heard it on Another “Green Mile” and can hear it again on further albums. As “Androgyn” comes to it's end it gets more rythmic. For the final title "This House Full Of Shadows" I noticed at first listening: "Will be liked by the people". We hear again Wolfgang Tiepold's expert cello. (KDM, 2002)

The bonus track “A Tiny Violin” is a rare beautiful pearl from the 10thCD “Adds & Edits” of the limited wooden boxset “Contemporary Works I”. On violin: Thomas Kagelmann.
After the successful releases of “U.S.O. Privée” and “Another Green Mile” MIG-Music proudly lifted another nugget of Klaus Schulze. We will continue to discover further gems!

Back To The Future

In The Dimness Of Light

ASH RA TEMPEL, the veterans of the German "Berlin School", gained worldwide recognition with their album releases 1971-1973.

Their self-titled debut-album from1971, in the line-up Hartmut Enke (bass), Manuel Göttsching (guitar), Klaus Schulze (drums), radically deconstructed elements of Rock and Blues, as it was combining electronic sounds to encourage new listening habits.

Whilst Göttsching and Schulze later followed their solo careers, they always stayed friends and, over the decades, showed their musical solidarity in collaborations, with innovative electronics and guitar.

But it was only in 2000, when they decided for this short intermezzo to perform together again under the Ash Ra Tempel banner.

Julian Cope (author of "Krautrock-Sampler") had invited Göttsching to his "Cornucopia Festival" in London, and the two musicians took the offer as a great opportunity for a 
one-time reunion concert at the Royal Festival Hall on April 2, 2000.

Preparing the music for this the concert had also led to a new studio album recording entitled "Friendship".

Both of the recordings, the studio album as well as the live recording from the London concert "Gin Rosé”, had been originally released in 2000 in a small edition, which was sold out very soon.

The studio-album "Friendship" had already been re-released in 2014 (CD).

Now, and due to the many requests, here it is again - after 20 years, the re-release of the long-awaited live-album "Gin Rosé".

Göttsching and Schulze blend tradition and vision, and they do not simply reanimate ideas of the 1970ies.

The spirit of this unique liaison is reflected in every single note of this still up-to-date concert, showing these two musicians playing joyful, familiar and undeterred.
