"Wuchtige Chöre, die aus einer riesigen Kirche zu kommen scheinen, zu Harmoniebergen aufgetürmt, vermitteln ein Gefühl der Endlosigkeit. Stimmen, die nicht von Sängerkehlen geformt werden, Stimmen, die der Elektroniker Klaus Schulze vom Computer aus dirigiert. Ein Cello rückt langsam ins Bild, wird bedrohlicher. Schulze spielt mit der Geometrie des Hörens, Millionen von Daten schickt der Avantgarde-Musiker auf eine akustische Reise in ungeahnte Klangwelten. Trancefer heißt die 14. LP des Sound-Bastlers, die - voll digital produziert - eine Tonqualität aufweist, von der die Synthesizer-Pioniere der sechziger Jahre nur zu träumen wagten." (11/81, R. Huber, "Augsburger Allgemeine", Germany)

"With Schulze's beautifully understated synths complemented by WOLFGANG TIEPOLD's cello and MICHAEL SHRIEVE's percussion, the sound has a threedimensionalism you can almost touch. ...I can't pretend to have heard all of Schulze's many works, but compared to the landmark albums of his I have heard - .. Trancefer stands alone.« (10/82, "Saturday Evening Mercury", Australia)

  • Why does he use all that equipment. Hasnt he heard about Fl Studio.

  • @runeguldberg: This is real handmade electronic music at highest level. Using the great sound of the Moog. In the beginning of the 80ies. Maybe you was not born yet ;-)

  • Put &fmt=18 at the end of the URL to listen in Stereo an much better audio quality!

  • what is about the german psyche that makes them so intuitively open to the creative scope and possibilities of electronic music in a way that no other country really comes close to matching. It's like it's imprinted in their DNA. Timeless, classsic, spiritual. cosmic music.

  • well this cracks me up how le fuck did trance the worlds most brain dead form of music come out this).

  • @runeguldberg

    Lots of equipment rules--

    the perfection of this music cannot be created on software--

    this idea is not just old school there are a lot of newer artists who think this way too (mostly Dutch) Legowelt being on the top of that list

  • I have (or had) this in my record collection. If I remember correctly, it was a 12" 45 rpm disc. It may have been an import and the sound quality was excellent.

    Thanks for uploading! I've always loved electronic music. Germans are particularly good at it.

  • it`s e beautiful music from the great compositor

  • @runeguldberg It's kinda funny to see how much technology has evolved in 30-20 years. It's amazing that you can fill all that shit into a computer program these days.

  • @italokid80 Sometimes even the most advanced synthesizers cannot faithfully re-create the sound of a particular instrument. This is one of them - and a really good one (both musically and as an example) at that.

  • One of the early pioneers of Trance Music. 

  • so cool this was posted, blew me away finding it

  • i love this album great upload

  • hermosa pa echarme un gallo 

  • ( with all my respect for the author), the violin (violoncelon?) is not happy ideea. An acoustic instrument from the Mozart age, between avangardist electronic sounds. The composer can't find any synthetic sound (from infinity possible in 1981) to replace the primitive instrument?

  • @wapassou100 good call my friend, good call.

  • suggesting that the term is derived from the Klaus Schulze album Trancefer (1981)

  • Trance is a genre of electronic dance music that developed in the 1990s; generally characterized by a tempo of between 120 and 145 bpm, short repetitive melodic synthesizer phrases, and a musical form that builds up and breaks down throughout a track. It is a combination of many forms of music such as industrial, techno, and house. It is more melodic than Techno, and usually has harder beats than House. The origin of the term is uncertain, with some

  • I absolute love this music, it's so epic, so cosmic!

  • this is where trance music came from!!!!!!!!!!

  • @tiad I saw him with Rainer Bloss at Coventry Cathedral around the time that Dig It, Trancefer and Drive Inn were released, and he was using the digital Crumar GDS quite heavily back then. So I'm not sure there's much of that 'great sound' of Moog on this.

  • @obiwangaenomi

    Ah yeas those monks and their synthesizers

  • His best IMHO. I had my girlfriend buy it for me when she went to Germany to visit her grandma.
