The first track, Sequenzer (from 70 to 7), with the typical Schulze sequencer sound, will carry the listener back into the seventies. In Euro Caravan the music is gliding towards the present and the nearly 32 min track Thor (Thunder), Schulze takes us on a trip into the future. In 2005 Revisited Records started reissuing Klaus Schulze s back catalogue. With over 30 albums re-released as Deluxe Editions with new liner notes, photos and tons of bonus material, so far. When asked about possible retirement Klaus Schulze s response was: I'm waiting for the next revolution. It will come, I'm really very optimistic. And then I want to be part of it. Sometime I will surely retire perhaps in 2250? Not until they carry me out of this studio in a box!" 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. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Different feel than Moonlake, feels more ambient than electronica/world beatI got this disk via Amazon download. I had previously acquired Moonlake as well, and had really grooved out on Moonlake--digging its more beat-oriented electronica feel overlaid with the distinctive "world music" vocalizations going on in several of the Moonlake pieces. Kontinuum, however, has a very different feel. No electronica beat vibe; not as much reliance on world music-esque vocalizations. In a way, I think it harkens back to earlier motifs in Schulze's 80's work, where there ... Read More Rating: - Absolutely a return-to-form for Klaus!!!After wading through all of KS's nearly unlistenable work of the 80s, 90s and early 00s, it is a joy to hear "Kontinuum" in all its retrospective glory! Fans of "Moondawn," "Picture Music," "Mirage" and "Timewind" will find themselves with an involuntary ear-to-ear smile in the first few seconds of "Kontinuum." The remaining 75+ minutes is equally smile-inducing. It's as if Klaus distilled all the best aspects of his first ten albums and "Kontinuum" is the result. Gone are the harsh, obnoxious computerized ...

Read More Rating: - Klaus Schulze Continues with "Kontinuum"2007 is a milestone year for German electronic music pioneer Klaus Schulze. He recently celebrated his 60th birthday on August 4th and has also released an excellent new solo album entitled "Kontinuum". "Kontinuum" is 76 minutes of continuous music consisting of three long tracks that form one long piece of music. Musically, the album is journey into Klaus Schulze's past, present and future as a musician. Fans of his classic 70's style will definitely feel at home listening to this disc.
