Klaus Schulze - Heart (Complete)

In goes disc two and on 'Heart'(30.49) there is again variation in the mood created on this 1979 recording,(this one being almost Tangerine Dream/ Edgar Froese in the way it develops initially). It's the spartan sound of a single bass note barely moving that Klaus has set himself up to play against. Needless to say the synth textures and atmospheres created are straight from off another planet, stunning!!! With so little sequencing going on Klaus has to work that much harder and more precisely to get everything right. Eleven minutes in and a harsh sounding metallic sweep heralds the start of the sequences and electronic percussion which uniquely see's Klaus move from the old to the new in one foul swoop. The new digital equipment having that harder edge and is consequently used to play bolder more strident themes. This was to be the future sound of Klaus for several years to come, producing a sound which polarized the opinions of critics and audiences alike. What's your poison? Is this polysynth heaven or polysynth hell?
A hollow sounding synth lead cuts through and with just ten minutes left the tempo is stepped up a gear making way for a wonderful sync lead solo on the synths. You may have been fooled into thinking that this section would see the piece to its close, but afew minutes later Klaus fades up an entire mid tempo submix which rounds things off nicely,( though it has to be said that there has always been abit of controversy about this final section; that it was edited onto the end from another part of the same show, providing a fitting end to the music for the vinyl production. Thus, 'Heart' becomes more of a 'best bits' from this particular show). I've never really had an opinion on this argument really, l just enjoyed the music for what it was at the time as there was nothing else quite like it.

@woolight1701: Bass on a recording does not determine a vinyl masters track length. Now if you are referring to the time limitations due to vinyl's physical size this would be appropriate. But i have Lps where one side is 28-31+ minutes long.

It´s a good sequence for a concert.

Yes , thanx for uploading this beautifull 'classic. Taking in mind he had to work with primitive electronics..the ne electro guys can learn a lot from him. A constant mood changing so subtle that you can hardly hear him doing it.

[Toracube]

His stuff was under Classical in the library.. Some Classical is even more way out that extreme jazz. Good choice !!!
