Dear Carm, I'm an Italian novelist and I confirm your statement that Schulze's influence went well beyond the field of music. I posted on FB about his death and there came a lot of comments by fellow writers and every kind of people as well. Thank you so much for this passionate hommage to such a lovable musician and man.
Hello Raul, That's great to hear. Even more confirmation of the scope of his influence overall, and also that he inspired yourself. Thanks much for watching, and your kind words. -Carm
Not Klaus Schultze, I couldn't believe it that's why I had to watch your video. I was introduced to his music back in 1983 simply by a chance meeting with an electronic music fan in a caravan park that I was living in at the time. The album 'Mirage' was my first taste and loved him ever since. I even go to sleep with his music to this day. It creates that perfect rhythm for sleeping. A true musical genius who will be sadly missed. R.I.P. Klaus Schultze
Hey Shane, I had that same feeling when my friend broke the news to me, hard to believe at first. Great serendipity, getting into Klaus' music that way, and what a great introductory album too! I often play the extended version of 'Totem' under a different title on repeat at low volume from Picture Music overnight for sleep. You said it...really no one quite like him. Thanks for being here. -Carm
Definitely one of the greats... My dad died when he was 59, my uncle at 63, so I am always aware of my own mortality that I could go a lot earlier than my time - doesn't make it easy, but it’s there. Timewind is amazing, as along with many of his albums. Such a prolific musician.
Hey Kris, that is for sure. Ah, that's how it's been on my mom's side of the family. Quite a few have left us so young. For sure, our respective lives plus this era of the last couple of years making us even more acutely aware, is a tough one. Really, he's like Frank Zappa in certain ways..being an uncompromising artist plus he must have vaults of material. I didn't show nearly all I have, and don't have nearly all he'd even released! Thanks for being here. -Carm
Sad to hear of the passing of a genuine musical pioneer. I’ve heard SO many musicians whom I know personally and whom I respect say that they were highly influenced by Schulze. Thanks for making this video, Carm. I plan to listen to some Klaus Schulze tomorrow in remembrance.
Hey Jeff, He really was... the real deal, as they say. Totally uncompromising as an artist too. Always stayed on his particular course it seemed. I can definitely see how he'd influence so many, regardless of the kind of music they played. Yes, definitely enjoy that music. I've been continuously spinning his CDs since yesterday afternoon. Thanks as always for being here. -Carm
You must really feel his music deeply for being into it such a short time so far, which I certainly understand! I became a fan instantly here. Yes, still hard to believe. It feels like he's always been here. Thank you for watching.
Hi Carm… really nice tribute to Klause. Thank you for sharing your memories, collection and stories.of him with us. He was very influential to many artists. Thanks Carm. Have a good week. Chez
Hey Chez, Thanks much. He's definitely meant a lot to so many. So innovative and evocative. Thanks much for being here, and great week your way too. -Carm
Big hugs Carm. This is such a sad day. Really nice tribute showing your CD collection. His memory will live on in his music so in a way he'll always be with us. R.I.P. Klaus Schulze 😢
Back at you Bill! Really, it's heavy. Again, I appreciate hearing the news from a friend who also loves all this.Thanks much. Will have these in further rotation for a while. For sure, he'll be with us and hopefully succeeding generations for a long time to come. Thanks always for being here. -Carm
Axel! How are you, old friend? It's really good to hear from you, though yes, the circumstances are sad. I know you were a deep and longtime fan as well. He'll be missed, though the music will live on long. Thanks much for being here. I hope you're as well as possible, and hope we can catch up further soon. -Carm
Hi Carm, I so sad to hear the news. He will certainly be missed, but I'm so thankful for all the years of great music output he brought us all. You have a great CD album collection of Klaus's wonderful masterful works! So nice seeing all those later works too. I remember when I first heard his music (as well as Tangerine Dream's) it was the music I'd dreamed of in my head but no artist had yet tapped into and captured so perfectly. A dream come true which yet today I never tire of. Indeed, I imagine there's much more in his recording archives yet to be discovered. Thanks for bringing us the timely though sad news. I'll have to send my condolences to KDM and the family. ~Jeff
Hey Jeff, I know he meant a lot to you too and yes, even though we're sad, definitely grateful for all the wonderful visionary music through the years. Thanks, that wasn't even all the CDs! It is more than half though. Definitely was deeply creative into his later years, I just had to keep exploring. Very neat the music of him and TD were what you dreamt of in a sense before really hearing it. I know for me it was like I found what I was searching for though just didn't know the sound yet....it had to find me. For sure, give condolences from at least a few more of us. Thanks for being here. Chatta further soon. -Carm
Thank you so much Carm for this loving and at the same time profound tribute! In fact, we have lost another great one from the golden era of German progressive and electronic music. We have already had to say goodbye to a few others in the past: Edgar Froese, Florian Fricke, Michael 'Fame' Günther, Jaki Liebezeit, Holger Czukay, Michael Karoli, Florian Schneider, Klaus Dinger, just to name a few. And now Klaus Schulze. Their work will certainly remain unforgettable, as will their personalities. R.I.P.
Thanks so much, Volker! For sure, so many more wonderful artists there. Edgar, Florian Fricke both particularly run deep for me as well. For sure, all their work lives on and continues reaching across generations. Thanks much for being here. -Carm
Thank you so much for your warm, generous, intelligent tribute to the cosmic master Klaus Schulze. Reading the title brought instant tears, because Klaus Schulze's music has been a vital presence in my life since 1974. Without his constant (meaning daily) inspiration, I would never have found the deep discipline and vision that forged me into a full-time writer. Schulze led me to Tangerine Dream (for which group he once-very early on-played drums), and to electronica in general. Without his kind, but ambitious life there would be no dark ambient music. Many, many musicians (and creative types working in other areas) have cited Klaus Schulze's importance in their lives and work, even a few of the drone, harsh noise, and industrial musicians. I don't know you, but I appreciate so much hearing this devastating news from someone so genuinely loving of Klaus Schulze. All best wishes to you.
Hello William, Well thank you so much for this kind, heartfelt comment! Plus sharing some of your own story. That's beautiful that he's inspired you for so long, and to that depth and breadth. Also wonderful how his inspiration led you further towards your own craft. Much agreed, there's probable countless musicians who may not really even know who he is, yet display his influence somehow, working in a similar area of music/art. It's definitely vast. I got into Tangerine Dream just slightly before him, and it took a while before I knew the actual connection at the beginning. I'm imagining Klaus and Edgar both on the other side now (at a changed cosmic address as the latter used to say) joining up for some tea and planning a collaboration finally. Something I'd often hoped to hear them do again one day. Well thank you again for your words here. Always wonderful hearing from someone who really understands all this, and appreciates theses artists in a similar way. All the best your way as well. -Carm
Thank you so much for this lovely tribute, Carm. Myself, I'm devastated my favorite electronic music artist has left us. Still grieving about this. For me, he is the single greatest example of an artist staying with his art avoiding commercial pitfalls along the way. Totally without compromise. I first heard him on a local radio show called Alien Sound Tracks which played all things electronic. Takes me back. I remember hearing Irrlicht and Cyborg for the first time and being blown away thinking to myself the guy who made that is something special. Without a doubt, the master of the Kosmische genre. There will never be an artist like him again. So many masterpieces, so much output. Mindboggling, really. Nice to see all the tributes rolling out in dedication to him. This makes you realize how influential and important he was to so many people. When an all-time great dies, fans take notice right away. Rest in peace, Klaus. No doubt, he is still sequencing somewhere, out there. All Klaus Schulze fans are collectively sad. On a brighter note, he left us one more masterpiece - DEUS ARRAKIS. Coming out in June, I believe. It's a follow up to Dune. Working with Hans Zimmer on the new Dune film inspired him, apparently. Unfortunately, he passed before it's official release. Keep on floating.
Hey David, thanks so much! Agree here wholeheartedly, and am still really feeling it too....have been listening to him nearly nonstop for the last few days. Oh yes! That was something I don't even think I emphasized in the video, is what a singular, uncompromising artist he was. He really was "en route" for 50 years consistently! Never wavering and always going into fresh territory. Even with being a wonderful collaborator through the years, he was always resolutely himself. For sure, is like Frank Zappa in that way where he seemed to record everything. Oh yes, those earliest albums....nothing like those really. Yes, it's heartening seeing how much he's loved. It's one of those things you kinda already knew, though it's so apparent now. Very much looking forward to the new album, though it'll be bittersweet of course....nice to know we'll get one more new one from him at least. Thanks so much for tuning in, and your great thoughts here. -Carm
Hey Eric, Well if it weren't for just the few big fans I know who broke ir to me, I might still not know either. Will be no one else quite like him. Thanks much for being here. -Carm
Sad day indeed. I consider Klaus probably the first 'non-mainstream' artist I got into around 1977/78 when I did a blind purchase of 'Timewind' based on the cover art and the fact that the album was a one-man (instrumental) production featuring 2 long pieces 28 & 30 minutes long. Armed with the info from the back cover I just had to hear it, so I bought the LP and that started it all for me... Thanks for doing the video...
It sure is, buddy. I know he's deeply personal for you, going back so far and deep. I wonder how many of us found Klaus that way at our respective times.....thru Timewind like that. Never having heard it and mesmerized by the artwork and indeed, the instrumentation! Have been playing him through the afternoon and into the evening, and am guessing you are too? Chatta soon good sir. -Carm & 😸
@@gorvo31 Yipes-forgive the typos on my original post-I don't know how I didn't catch them or how you could figure out what I was actually saying!!! Well for what it's worth I corrected them now. Jeff actually told me that you had posted this video-I still haven't received any notification that you posted a new video, even hours after the fact! I just happened to be playing disc one of 'In Blue' when I started watching your video-and of course that album made it into your video (twice, matter of fact!)... Yeah, i'll be playing some favorites throughout the next couple of days at very least...
I was sorry to hear about Klaus Gary. Carm reminded me that you dug him too. I knew that already. So I am ashamed that I did not include you in the comment that I left on this video. I always think of you and Carm when it comes to electronic music in general. Especially with the likes of Klaus and Edgar. Anyways. Sending a huge hello. Hope you are doing better than ever and I hope that your musical creativity is flowing through your fingers. Have a great weekend brother Gary~
@@Paneeks1960 Hello brother Rob! Yeah, Klaus is a big one for my personal history. But in the last several years barely a week goes by where some musician I love passes away. Looking at what I spend most of my time listening to and I notice I listen to far more music by musicians no longer with us than than I do those who are still around. Boy that's a big change from the late 1970's and early 80's where I can only think of a few (maybe 3) jazz musicians who I discovered and loved who had already passed away at that point. Now nearly all the musicians I discovered and became a fan of from the 1970's and 80's are gone now. Anyway-thanks for thinking of me, I hope you're doing incredibly well and will have a great weekend. Looking forward to the progress of that music room to!!!
Thank you Gorvo31. I enjoyed your presentation. The 3 Klaus Schulze's CD's you highlight are My favorites as well. I feel the music of Klaus Schulze is very mind expending, trace inducing and innovative. But I think you made it clear in greater detail. I wish to thank you again and, in your own words - Peace, Love & joy. ☮ ♡ & Ⓐ
Hi Carm, I'm not familiar with Klaus or his music, but I notice as we get older we are losing so many great artists. I hope in our next life we can still hear their music. You always do such wonderful, in depth tributes. Cindy
Thanks Cindy! He's meant a great deal to me. It's really true, we're losing more and more of these artists. Wouldn't that be incredible indeed...if we could hear them still in the next life? I've been playing his music non-stop since yesterday, and even had one of his quieter pieces playing on repeat overnight. Thanks as always for being here. Much love and happiness. -Carm
Wasn't expecting a video like this, as I am used to seeing his music in my feed. I am approaching 50, and had never heard of him until 2 months ago. Some of his music is quite epic. Incredible.
Oh yes, me neither. Is strange to to think of him now being no longer on this planet in human form. For sure, it's partly the epic-ness of his music that's drawn me in for so long. Thank you for tuning in here. -Carm
@@gorvo31I stumbled upon "Kontinuum" here on YT a couple of months ago, and it was quite a ride. particularly "Thor (Thunder)", but also "Euro caravan". I could not believe how I'd not heard his music before.
Hi Carm - Thanks for doing this; a fine tribute to a true musical great. Timewind was also my introduction to Klaus Schulze's music; a blind buy 46 years ago almost to the day--it was his latest album at the time. Still holds a particularly special place in my heart.
Hey Michael, Thanks much. You bet, well he was a deeply personal artist here. How cool! I was just saying to Gary (Cosmic Pickle in the comments here) that I wonder how many of us discovered Klaus via Timewind. Also just based on the covers alone. Yes, the first ones always stay with us for good. Thanks for being here. -Carm
Very nice tribute here Carm. I soon as I heard that Klaus had passed, I thought of you. I had never seen any of his records or CD's until you showed some of the them in a video several years ago - since then I have been on the lookout for any of his releases, but they never appear second-hand in the UK. I may have to do some targeted buying online now. Another musical legend taken away too soon. All the best, James
Thanks much James! For sure, he's loomed large in my life for so long, as well as countless others. I would imagine that too, even over there his albums being a bit harder to come across in the shops. I was fortunate when I got into his stuff in the 90's they were easier to find and cheap, especially the LPs actually. Then in 2005 they reissued most of his stuff on CD and definitely filled a lot of the gaps that way. For sure, he was one of the greats and it feels like he's always been here, which makes it harder to believe he's left the planet now in the physical. I was saying to someone else, perhaps he's reunited with Edgar Froese on the other side for a long-awaited collaboration of sorts. Thanks as always for being here. -Carm
Fantastic collection Carm. Bill also broke the news to me. Another huge loss. I had one volume of Dark Side of the Moog. I went to pull it but appears I forgot trading it… that I will need to remedy.
Thanks much Dave. For sure, this was a deep one. Aww bummer...Hopefully you'll find another copy for reasonable. I just played the whole first set through the afternoon and into the evening. Sounded better even than I remembered it. Thanks much for being here. -Carm
Hi Carm, a very sad day for music. I'm lucky to have originals of his first few albums but I don't have any of his solo output after Dune and there are big gaps . Your collection is second to none. All the best, Dave.
Hey Dave, It really is. Well it sounds like you have a pretty good core of his early stuff. A lot of his later music is definitely worth looking into. Ah, well I didn't even show everything I have and I know of others who have even more of his albums....his output is just so vast! Thanks as always for tuning in. -Carm
No, not another! Timewind was also the first lp I would have heard sometime around ‘76. He has left a rather hefty catalogue that we can spend forever listening to…. I guess a positive we can take is having heard the news from Gorvo. Thanks for sharing your rather enviable collection. C.
Hey Clayton, Really....losing so many. For sure though...there's so much music to enjoy and celebrate him from. Timewind sounds to have been a touchstone for so many. I've been spinning these CDs nonstop for a day now. Thanks much for being here. -Carm
@@gorvo31 What an example of serendipity you had with that record store clerk, eh? You could be spinning the Osmond’s right now. AND you could be digging them.
@@Claytone-Records Ha, you bet! I'd likely have a quite different kind of channel here as well, as there doesn't seem to be much Donny & Marie representation around YT. 🙂
great tribute Carm-- a genius and appeared to be a really good human as well. i'm listening to side 1 of irrlicht-- striking how much it sounds like he was playing his own cosmic dirge.
Thanks Alex, Much agreed that he really seemed to be a good person too. Quite generous of spirit. Well said on 'Irrlicht'. I have a memory of receiving it for my 18th birthday (I'd asked for it since it was a bit of a pricey import at the local shop) and my mom sort of shimmying during the pulsing organ portion of the end of the first piece, ha. She did express a touch of concern though over what this stuff could potentially do to her son, as she's a lifelong rock 'n' roller. Thanks for tuning in. -Carm
Thanks Carms. I remember when I first bought any Klaus Schulze music was while I was living in Miami, FL. On May 30, 1982 I bought the Live album, because it was a 2LP set, so I got more music. Then I got Cyborg for the same reason. I think that these were from the Peaches Music chain. I have not seen that packaging for the Dark Side of the Moog series. All of those reissued CD packages with bonus material look nice. - Chris
Hey Chris, Very nice even knowing the date you bought that album. Happens to have been on my dad's birthday too! Oh yes, he has quite a lot of double albums. I love that too with the bonus material on CD, that he really fills out the time. One of them runs 79:59, ha. Sometimes I like the bonus stuff as much if not more so than parts of the original albums. The Dark Side of the Moogs are great, and have been playing them a lot as of late. Thanks as always for tuning in. -Carm
We have lost another incredible artist. I do not use the work genius when I talk about many musicians. But Klaus has definitely earned the genius status. Just listening to Timewind and Mirage are both amazing albums. I have Dune too which I also loved. But in my humble opinion the first As Ra T is the one that totally got my attention. The only T Dream album that Klaus played on was Electronic Meditation? To keep up with his records you really have to take a few months out of your schedule. It is sad that so many of these iconic artists are going. >< That Dark Side of the Moog box set looks very interesting. I cannot believe how many albums/CD's that you have of his. >< I cannot believe that you still have an all CD open in Chicago. Most of the CD stores around here closed. BCD {Boston Compact Disc} was huge at one time. They shut their doors. CD Spins on Newbury St is still open. Anyways. I loved the story that you told from Chicago Digital. To hear the clerk saying that he had Klaus's whole catalog at home was amazing. It was almost destiny that you bumped into him. Just think if you went the next day. You may have got a clerk that owned the whole Pet Shop Boys collection. I do not think that would have been as inspiring to you to check out. {smile} Fantastic tribute cousin Carm. I am truly sorry to hear about KS's passing. I know how much that must have stung when you heard it. If anyone can conduct an electronic symphony for the angels... He will certainly have them smiling. Love you Cuz~ Rob/Boston
Hey cuz Rob, We really have, and would agree on genius...his creativity was sustained the whole time. Glad you got into some of his stuff. Oh yes, his drumming on the first Ash Ra especially is amazing! Yep, that was the only TD album Klaus played on. I don't think I made the connection for at least a couple more years since my copy of Electronic Meditation had no liner notes....Oh yes, I just finished listening to all 5 CDs of the first Dark Side of the Moog boxset, and it struck me even more than ever. Klaus' partner on there, Pete Namlook, passed on himself about 10 years ago. Right now I have 'Mindphaser' from Moondawn playing.... I may have spoke too soon....afterwards I looked up Chicago Digital and it said it was "Temporarily Closed". Not sure what that's all about and hope it is really nothing more than temporary. Either way for sure, it is something to have an all-CD shop open for over 35 years! Oh yes, it was meant to be, just so happening that John was a Klaus freak. Ha, well who knows...I haven't heard enough of the Pet Shop Boys, so there could have been potential there too. It was definitely tough hearing about it...glad it came from Bill and not some article online. I know our pal Gary is feeling it too, as he's been a fan since the early days. Oh yes, Klaus off somewhere creating celestial music in a new realm. Thanks as always for being here. Big love right back at you. -Carm
Lovely tribute, thank you. Was going to upload my own memento to him from my synth LP/CD collection, but yours and Dereck Von's are more than adequate (I did feature some KS vinyl on an upload 4 or 5 years ago showing Tangerine Dream solo member's releases). My introduction to his and T Dream music was in '73 when a friend lent me "Cyborg" and TD's "Atem". Wow! Had to collect everything by them ever since! Picture Music, Timewind, Moondawn, Body Love 2 and the Pete Namlook DSOTM series probably my overall favourites. Regards, Gaz (UK).
Thanks so much! Well an artist like this could never have too many tributes. 🙂 Wow, wonderful you got to hear those albums as introductions and when they were new! Klaus' 70's albums you mentioned are among my favorites too, adding Mirage as well. I've been revisiting DSOTM lately and enjoying it more than ever. Thanks much for tuning in and your comments, Gaz. -Carm
Hey Carm, I see that Klaus was a drummer with Tangerine Dream - what prolific writer for sure - thanks for sharing you knowledge of his music with us 😊.
Hey George, He sure was! Was just on that first album too, which sounds quite different than just about any of their other albums I'm aware of. Oh yes, I'm still running across CDs I didn't even show in the video. His output seems endless! Thanks much for tuning in, and hope your travels have been enjoyable. -Carm
Hey Jimmy, Glad you gave that one a spin. Was an intro to his own little universe that would evoke our own little universe. Thanks for being here as always good sir. -Carm
Hey Carm, here on the rewatch. Thank you for this wonderful tribute. Spoken from the heart here; your loss is palpable. You really are a lifelong fan; I love hearing your journey with Klaus' music. I knew of his history to a degree, but the sheer extent of his catalogue and influence I had clearly underestimated. I have been playing Timewind the past few days and have you to thank for making me hear it anew (thanks to this video). It's a gift you have :) I hope you're doing well despite the sad news, and Klaus' art is offering you comfort and solace. Cheers- Dean
Hello Deano, Thanks so much! Ah, I appreciate you watching this even once, much less again. I was just telling a friend that while I don't think in terms of hierarchies in life in general, that Klaus for me is at a certain level along with a few other artists that no one else could quite reach for me. Really timeless too in a sense. Oh yes, well I didn't even show nearly all I have by him on CD alone! I have a habit of letting listening stacks pile up and not always refiling them back into their respective artists' sections, so I'm coming across more and more of his stuff around as I go. Of course even still, I don't have anywhere near all the stuff he released overall, he was so prolific! Glad you've been listening to some of him too and enjoying. I'd been listening to him nearly nonstop up until yesterday when I started finally weaving a few other artists into the mix, ha. I'm doing better now, thanks, and celebrating his life more than mourning now. Hope you're doing well? Actually, in the days be for Klaus' passing, I'd been spinning the great stuff you've sent me and really enjoying still, so I'll need to get back to that, and I thank you again. 😊 Thanks as always for being here, my friend. Shall have to catch up soon, and looking forward to a new video whenever you're feeling it. Cheers to you down your way. -Carm
@@gorvo31 thanks for the lovely response Carm :) I meant to say too that Klaus seemed very open to collaboration in the way comparatively few artists seem to. I get the feeling of a very generous spirit, and not merely in terms of output!
@@GrandmasHandbag Oh absolutely! As well as being resolute and uncompromising in his music, always, he was a great collaborator and producer, shedding light on other artists. Like Far East Family Band, and Robert Schroeder among others. He was a rare and treasured bird in so many respects. 🙂
Hey Carm, very sad news indeed about this one of a kind composer. I can't really say much more than you have here, I love your description...very nice tribute. Perfect review of Klaus Schulze and his plethora of amazing works from over the years, as well as his brief stint with TD in their early years. I was just playing some of his numerous collab albums with synthesist Rainer Bloss from the 80s entitled "Drive Inn", the 2nd Drive Inn CD from 1986 has a longtime favorite selection of mine called "The Long Way To Acapulco" that actually got some airplay on 94Q as well as KTWV The Wave back then. Both "Drive Inn" CDs I have are the reissued versions off Innovative Communication, a very eclectic label which I'm sure you're very familiar with yourself. RIP Mr. Klaus... Great tribute here once again, talk soon! - Kyle
Heya Kyle, Thanks much. Yes it's really a tough one. Such a deep artist who inspired and influenced so many. Oh yes, I think I showed the Drive Inn. I was just playing that a week ago or so and funny, I did think of you with 'The long way to Acapulco', and how it definitely sounds like something you'd feature! 🙂I recently got the recently reissued double MIG set. Oh yes, I have a lot from Innovative Communications, and still want to do a feature of sorts on the label one day. They definitely went into fascinating directions over the years. Well thanks much for being here as always my friend. Catch you on The Breeze soon. 😎-Carm
Hi Carm, I'm so sorry to hear that one of your favourite artists has passed. I was devastated when I heard that David Bowie passed so I know how you feel. I enjoyed your tribute through showing his albums. Take care - Richard
Thanks Richard, Oh yes, I know how you must have felt too with David. It's like a part of our past is leaving with them too. Klaus was definitely on that level for me. I don't recall if they'd collaborated, though would imagine there was some mutual admiration between them. Thankfully all that music is still here for us to soak up and celebrate. Thanks much for being here, and you take care too. -Carm
Hey Carm--I read where Schulze had passed the other day too. It's always sad to hear about when one of your favorite musicians dies or anyone else that has meant a great deal to your life. I came to Schulze's music rather late in life. I think a large part of that was just that I rarely saw his music. I remember seeing Timewind, and was drawn to the cover, but didn't pick it up at the time, however the cover sure made an impression on me and I wondered what that sounded like. It wasn't until many years later that I listened to it and that was around ten or twelve years ago. It was interesting to see and hear you talk about many of his other albums.
Hey Dave, Oh yes, and again when it's someone around one's folks age, it hits for that reason too. I have found that too with his music in the shops...unless there was an electronic/experimental section, he, TD, Vangelis....would often be slotted into 'Rock', where I honestly didn't look into much. I was fortunate in the CD store that there was a new age/electronic section with all those artists. Glad you got into Klaus eventually, as it's certainly never too late. 🙂 Thanks as always. -Carm
Jarre's Oxygene wouldn't be the same without Timewind by Klaus Schulze,...i've listening to Schulze more than 30 years now, very special moments & memories are linked with Schulze's music,...i still feel very sad , days later his death,...sorry for my crappy inglish! Cheers from Barcelona!!!.
Hello Alvaro, No your English is just fine! That may possibly be true about Oxygene and Timewind. It sounds like you and I have similar experiences and feelings of and for Klaus and his music! Yes, it's hit hard. I've still been playing his music almost non stop since that day. Thanks much for watching this and sharing your words. Cheers back your way! -Carm
Hello Carm. I am sad to hear about this. Another loss that hits hard, similar to the passing of Edgar Froese. One of the most influential albums for myself and I'm quite sure for scores of others is Mirage from 1977, which I see you have in your collection as well. Interestingly, this album was composed with the loss of one of his close friends in death in mind, very emotional, evocative, not to mention a very magical composition. Some of his other recent live works, he always was on stage with a wall of sequencers behind him. He was rather humorous when he took a small break from the stage while his sequencers were keeping pace with the concert. I think that was the live concert with Lisa Gerrard. He walked back on stage and gestured toward his wall of sequencers and said "electronic music." He definitely had a fascination with technology, most of his music from earlier times, similar to Tangerine Dream, he rather grew with the advancement of synthesizers as well as sequencers and software. He was definitely part of my musical experience over the years, he will be very much missed I forgot to add this part at the end here to show my gratitude for your tribute. Take care
Hey Wiley, It really is and yes, does have that same feeling as Edgar. I remember that day as feeling the same, really. Oh yes, a friend just texted me about Mirage, so magical, deep and powerful. Love it! Oh yes, I've seen that footage where he lets the sequences just run. Loved his whole demeanor in spirit along with what he played. I can certainly hear and understand him being a large inspiration to you quite naturally. Well thanks much for your words and for being here. Will be spinning a lot of his stuff for a while here. Peace n love. -Carm
Hi Carm. I suspected I’d see a piece from you. Sad day. Nice tribute with such a great collection. Enjoy the music. I’m curious, have you heard from Shannon recently? Wondering about her; hoping all is well…
Hey Jeff, Thanks much. It really is, am still taken aback. Have kept the CDs out and spinning them. Grieving, though also celebrating his life and creativity. Oh yes, Shannon and I are in touch pretty regularly and last I've heard she's doing well. Will definitely say hello from you. Thanks for being here, and hope you're also doing well. -Carm
@@gorvo31 Hi Carm, thanks for the video. I would also like to pass on my best to Shannon. I see all her videos have gone which is a shame as she really got me back interested in Joni Mitchell. Hope you're well, Thanks, Richard.
@@ilesjazz Hey Richard, you bet...will do. I know a lot of us miss her videos, and yes she either inspired people to revisit Joni or become fans for the first time, which the latter was the case here. Thanks for watching. -Carm
One of the greats indeed. I guess it came out after you did this video, but his Deus Arrakis CD surprised me. It's really good without sounding much like his classic material.
Hey Scott, You bet...and yes, I was looking forward to the new album, though bittersweet. Still showed he had new things to say, so to speak. Thanks as always, and shall respond to you further soon later this week. -Carm
Hey sister Lis, Ah thanks. For sure he was a big one. Yep, have been playing his stuff pretty much nonstop since yesterday afternoon. Thanks as always for being here. -Carm
Dear Carm, I'm an Italian novelist and I confirm your statement that Schulze's influence went well beyond the field of music. I posted on FB about his death and there came a lot of comments by fellow writers and every kind of people as well. Thank you so much for this passionate hommage to such a lovable musician and man.
Hello Raul, That's great to hear. Even more confirmation of the scope of his influence overall, and also that he inspired yourself. Thanks much for watching, and your kind words. -Carm
I've got everything he released, over 80 been collecting Klaus Schulze since 1975. A true genius, love his music, very sad.
Wow, wonderful and deep devotion there, and for so long! Yes, is a heavy loss. Am grateful for the art he made. Thank you for watching.
A huge influence on me and many others. A true master. RIP Klaus.
He really has been, in so many ways. Thanks for watching.
Not Klaus Schultze, I couldn't believe it that's why I had to watch your video. I was introduced to his music back in 1983 simply by a chance meeting with an electronic music fan in a caravan park that I was living in at the time. The album 'Mirage' was my first taste and loved him ever since. I even go to sleep with his music to this day. It creates that perfect rhythm for sleeping. A true musical genius who will be sadly missed. R.I.P. Klaus Schultze
Hey Shane, I had that same feeling when my friend broke the news to me, hard to believe at first. Great serendipity, getting into Klaus' music that way, and what a great introductory album too! I often play the extended version of 'Totem' under a different title on repeat at low volume from Picture Music overnight for sleep. You said it...really no one quite like him. Thanks for being here. -Carm
Thanks for the tribute. Well done. Love it. RIP Klaus. Greetings from Belgium. Dirk.
Thanks much Dirk. He was one of the greats. Thank you for watching. Greetings back to you from Illinois. -Carm
Definitely one of the greats... My dad died when he was 59, my uncle at 63, so I am always aware of my own mortality that I could go a lot earlier than my time - doesn't make it easy, but it’s there. Timewind is amazing, as along with
many of his albums. Such a prolific musician.
Hey Kris, that is for sure. Ah, that's how it's been on my mom's side of the family. Quite a few have left us so young. For sure, our respective lives plus this era of the last couple of years making us even more acutely aware, is a tough one.
Really, he's like Frank Zappa in certain ways..being an uncompromising artist plus he must have vaults of material. I didn't show nearly all I have, and don't have nearly all he'd even released! Thanks for being here. -Carm
Sad to hear of the passing of a genuine musical pioneer. I’ve heard SO many musicians whom I know personally and whom I respect say that they were highly influenced by Schulze. Thanks for making this video, Carm. I plan to listen to some Klaus Schulze tomorrow in remembrance.
Hey Jeff, He really was... the real deal, as they say. Totally uncompromising as an artist too. Always stayed on his particular course it seemed. I can definitely see how he'd influence so many, regardless of the kind of music they played. Yes, definitely enjoy that music. I've been continuously spinning his CDs since yesterday afternoon. Thanks as always for being here. -Carm
Very good tribute Carm, just listening to fm delight from Em=trance. (Goose bumps) An incredible and beautiful piece of pure Klaus . R.I.P
Hey Paul, Thank you. Oh yes, that's a very good and I feel, overlooked album overall. Yes, RIP to a great one.
I only started listening to his music this year. I can't believe he's past away! 😟
You must really feel his music deeply for being into it such a short time so far, which I certainly understand! I became a fan instantly here. Yes, still hard to believe. It feels like he's always been here. Thank you for watching.
Hi Carm… really nice tribute to Klause. Thank you for sharing your memories, collection and stories.of him with us. He was very influential to many artists. Thanks Carm. Have a good week. Chez
Hey Chez, Thanks much. He's definitely meant a lot to so many. So innovative and evocative. Thanks much for being here, and great week your way too. -Carm
Big hugs Carm. This is such a sad day. Really nice tribute showing your CD collection. His memory will live on in his music so in a way he'll always be with us. R.I.P. Klaus Schulze 😢
Back at you Bill! Really, it's heavy. Again, I appreciate hearing the news from a friend who also loves all this.Thanks much. Will have these in further rotation for a while. For sure, he'll be with us and hopefully succeeding generations for a long time to come. Thanks always for being here. -Carm
Very nice collection Carm!
RIP Klaus Schulze …
Axel! How are you, old friend? It's really good to hear from you, though yes, the circumstances are sad. I know you were a deep and longtime fan as well. He'll be missed, though the music will live on long. Thanks much for being here. I hope you're as well as possible, and hope we can catch up further soon. -Carm
@@gorvo31 Some days before I preordered his new album. I thought: WOW. Great. Perhaps he feels a little bit better…
Hi Carm, I so sad to hear the news. He will certainly be missed, but I'm so thankful for all the years of great music output he brought us all.
You have a great CD album collection of Klaus's wonderful masterful works! So nice seeing all those later works too.
I remember when I first heard his music (as well as Tangerine Dream's) it was the music I'd dreamed of in my head but no artist had yet tapped into and captured so perfectly. A dream come true which yet today I never tire of.
Indeed, I imagine there's much more in his recording archives yet to be discovered. Thanks for bringing us the timely though sad news. I'll have to send my condolences to KDM and the family. ~Jeff
Hey Jeff, I know he meant a lot to you too and yes, even though we're sad, definitely grateful for all the wonderful visionary music through the years.
Thanks, that wasn't even all the CDs! It is more than half though. Definitely was deeply creative into his later years, I just had to keep exploring.
Very neat the music of him and TD were what you dreamt of in a sense before really hearing it. I know for me it was like I found what I was searching for though just didn't know the sound yet....it had to find me. For sure, give condolences from at least a few more of us. Thanks for being here. Chatta further soon. -Carm
Thank you so much Carm for this loving and at the same time profound tribute! In fact, we have lost another great one from the golden era of German progressive and electronic music. We have already had to say goodbye to a few others in the past: Edgar Froese, Florian Fricke, Michael 'Fame' Günther, Jaki Liebezeit, Holger Czukay, Michael Karoli, Florian Schneider, Klaus Dinger, just to name a few. And now Klaus Schulze. Their work will certainly remain unforgettable, as will their personalities. R.I.P.
Thanks so much, Volker! For sure, so many more wonderful artists there. Edgar, Florian Fricke both particularly run deep for me as well. For sure, all their work lives on and continues reaching across generations. Thanks much for being here. -Carm
One love for the Berlin school and the 70s "cosmic krautrock" music, sad news !
Oh yes! One of the greats of all that. Thank you for watching.
Thank you so much for your warm, generous, intelligent tribute to the cosmic master Klaus Schulze. Reading the title brought instant tears, because Klaus Schulze's music has been a vital presence in my life since 1974. Without his constant (meaning daily) inspiration, I would never have found the deep discipline and vision that forged me into a full-time writer. Schulze led me to Tangerine Dream (for which group he once-very early on-played drums), and to electronica in general. Without his kind, but ambitious life there would be no dark ambient music. Many, many musicians (and creative types working in other areas) have cited Klaus Schulze's importance in their lives and work, even a few of the drone, harsh noise, and industrial musicians. I don't know you, but I appreciate so much hearing this devastating news from someone so genuinely loving of Klaus Schulze. All best wishes to you.
Hello William, Well thank you so much for this kind, heartfelt comment! Plus sharing some of your own story. That's beautiful that he's inspired you for so long, and to that depth and breadth. Also wonderful how his inspiration led you further towards your own craft. Much agreed, there's probable countless musicians who may not really even know who he is, yet display his influence somehow, working in a similar area of music/art. It's definitely vast. I got into Tangerine Dream just slightly before him, and it took a while before I knew the actual connection at the beginning. I'm imagining Klaus and Edgar both on the other side now (at a changed cosmic address as the latter used to say) joining up for some tea and planning a collaboration finally. Something I'd often hoped to hear them do again one day. Well thank you again for your words here. Always wonderful hearing from someone who really understands all this, and appreciates theses artists in a similar way. All the best your way as well. -Carm
Thank you so much for this lovely tribute, Carm. Myself, I'm devastated my favorite electronic music artist has left us. Still grieving about this. For me, he is the single greatest example of an artist staying with his art avoiding commercial pitfalls along the way. Totally without compromise. I first heard him on a local radio show called Alien Sound Tracks which played all things electronic. Takes me back. I remember hearing Irrlicht and Cyborg for the first time and being blown away thinking to myself the guy who made that is something special. Without a doubt, the master of the Kosmische genre. There will never be an artist like him again. So many masterpieces, so much output. Mindboggling, really. Nice to see all the tributes rolling out in dedication to him. This makes you realize how influential and important he was to so many people. When an all-time great dies, fans take notice right away. Rest in peace, Klaus. No doubt, he is still sequencing somewhere, out there. All Klaus Schulze fans are collectively sad. On a brighter note, he left us one more masterpiece - DEUS ARRAKIS. Coming out in June, I believe. It's a follow up to Dune. Working with Hans Zimmer on the new Dune film inspired him, apparently. Unfortunately, he passed before it's official release. Keep on floating.
Hey David, thanks so much! Agree here wholeheartedly, and am still really feeling it too....have been listening to him nearly nonstop for the last few days. Oh yes! That was something I don't even think I emphasized in the video, is what a singular, uncompromising artist he was. He really was "en route" for 50 years consistently! Never wavering and always going into fresh territory. Even with being a wonderful collaborator through the years, he was always resolutely himself. For sure, is like Frank Zappa in that way where he seemed to record everything. Oh yes, those earliest albums....nothing like those really. Yes, it's heartening seeing how much he's loved. It's one of those things you kinda already knew, though it's so apparent now. Very much looking forward to the new album, though it'll be bittersweet of course....nice to know we'll get one more new one from him at least. Thanks so much for tuning in, and your great thoughts here. -Carm
I'm so out of the loop. This is the first I'm hearing of this. Bummer for sure.
R.I.P. and thanks for the music.
Hey Eric, Well if it weren't for just the few big fans I know who broke ir to me, I might still not know either. Will be no one else quite like him. Thanks much for being here. -Carm
Sad day indeed. I consider Klaus probably the first 'non-mainstream' artist I got into around 1977/78 when I did a blind purchase of 'Timewind' based on the cover art and the fact that the album was a one-man (instrumental) production featuring 2 long pieces 28 & 30 minutes long. Armed with the info from the back cover I just had to hear it, so I bought the LP and that started it all for me...
Thanks for doing the video...
It sure is, buddy. I know he's deeply personal for you, going back so far and deep. I wonder how many of us found Klaus that way at our respective times.....thru Timewind like that. Never having heard it and mesmerized by the artwork and indeed, the instrumentation! Have been playing him through the afternoon and into the evening, and am guessing you are too? Chatta soon good sir. -Carm & 😸
@@gorvo31 Yipes-forgive the typos on my original post-I don't know how I didn't catch them or how you could figure out what I was actually saying!!! Well for what it's worth I corrected them now. Jeff actually told me that you had posted this video-I still haven't received any notification that you posted a new video, even hours after the fact! I just happened to be playing disc one of 'In Blue' when I started watching your video-and of course that album made it into your video (twice, matter of fact!)... Yeah, i'll be playing some favorites throughout the next couple of days at very least...
I was sorry to hear about Klaus Gary. Carm reminded me that you dug him too. I knew that already. So I am ashamed that I did not include you in the comment that I left on this video. I always think of you and Carm when it comes to electronic music in general. Especially with the likes of Klaus and Edgar. Anyways. Sending a huge hello. Hope you are doing better than ever and I hope that your musical creativity is flowing through your fingers. Have a great weekend brother Gary~
@@Paneeks1960 Hello brother Rob! Yeah, Klaus is a big one for my personal history. But in the last several years barely a week goes by where some musician I love passes away. Looking at what I spend most of my time listening to and I notice I listen to far more music by musicians no longer with us than than I do those who are still around. Boy that's a big change from the late 1970's and early 80's where I can only think of a few (maybe 3) jazz musicians who I discovered and loved who had already passed away at that point. Now nearly all the musicians I discovered and became a fan of from the 1970's and 80's are gone now.
Anyway-thanks for thinking of me, I hope you're doing incredibly well and will have a great weekend. Looking forward to the progress of that music room to!!!
A nice tribute. He left his mark, and may he rest in sequences.
Thank you much! Oh yes, he really did. Deeply inspirational. Thank you for tuning in, and for subscribing!
Thank you Gorvo31. I enjoyed your presentation. The 3 Klaus Schulze's CD's you highlight are My favorites as well. I feel the music of Klaus Schulze is very mind expending, trace inducing and innovative. But I think you made it clear in greater detail. I wish to thank you again and, in your own words - Peace, Love & joy. ☮ ♡ & Ⓐ
Thanks so much for your kind words and for commenting. His music is truly transcendent. Right back at you! -Carm
Hi Carm, I'm not familiar with Klaus or his music, but I notice as we get older we are losing so many great artists. I hope in our next life we can still hear their music. You always do such wonderful, in depth tributes. Cindy
Thanks Cindy! He's meant a great deal to me. It's really true, we're losing more and more of these artists. Wouldn't that be incredible indeed...if we could hear them still in the next life? I've been playing his music non-stop since yesterday, and even had one of his quieter pieces playing on repeat overnight. Thanks as always for being here. Much love and happiness. -Carm
Wasn't expecting a video like this, as I am used to seeing his music in my feed. I am approaching 50, and had never heard of him until 2 months ago. Some of his music is quite epic. Incredible.
Oh yes, me neither. Is strange to to think of him now being no longer on this planet in human form. For sure, it's partly the epic-ness of his music that's drawn me in for so long. Thank you for tuning in here. -Carm
@@gorvo31I stumbled upon "Kontinuum" here on YT a couple of months ago, and it was quite a ride. particularly "Thor (Thunder)", but also "Euro caravan". I could not believe how I'd not heard his music before.
Hi Carm - Thanks for doing this; a fine tribute to a true musical great. Timewind was also my introduction to Klaus Schulze's music; a blind buy 46 years ago almost to the day--it was his latest album at the time. Still holds a particularly special place in my heart.
Hey Michael, Thanks much. You bet, well he was a deeply personal artist here. How cool! I was just saying to Gary (Cosmic Pickle in the comments here) that I wonder how many of us discovered Klaus via Timewind. Also just based on the covers alone. Yes, the first ones always stay with us for good. Thanks for being here. -Carm
Very nice tribute here Carm. I soon as I heard that Klaus had passed, I thought of you. I had never seen any of his records or CD's until you showed some of the them in a video several years ago - since then I have been on the lookout for any of his releases, but they never appear second-hand in the UK. I may have to do some targeted buying online now. Another musical legend taken away too soon. All the best, James
Thanks much James! For sure, he's loomed large in my life for so long, as well as countless others. I would imagine that too, even over there his albums being a bit harder to come across in the shops. I was fortunate when I got into his stuff in the 90's they were easier to find and cheap, especially the LPs actually. Then in 2005 they reissued most of his stuff on CD and definitely filled a lot of the gaps that way. For sure, he was one of the greats and it feels like he's always been here, which makes it harder to believe he's left the planet now in the physical. I was saying to someone else, perhaps he's reunited with Edgar Froese on the other side for a long-awaited collaboration of sorts. Thanks as always for being here. -Carm
Fantastic collection Carm. Bill also broke the news to me. Another huge loss. I had one volume of Dark Side of the Moog. I went to pull it but appears I forgot trading it… that I will need to remedy.
Thanks much Dave. For sure, this was a deep one. Aww bummer...Hopefully you'll find another copy for reasonable. I just played the whole first set through the afternoon and into the evening. Sounded better even than I remembered it. Thanks much for being here. -Carm
Oh what sad news! One of my all time favorites!
Hey Tink, It really is! You feel this too. Will likely be spinning these the rest of the day...at least. Thanks for being here. Peace n love. -Carm
Hi Carm, a very sad day for music. I'm lucky to have originals of his first few albums but I don't have any of his solo output after Dune and there are big gaps . Your collection is second to none.
All the best, Dave.
Hey Dave, It really is. Well it sounds like you have a pretty good core of his early stuff. A lot of his later music is definitely worth looking into. Ah, well I didn't even show everything I have and I know of others who have even more of his albums....his output is just so vast! Thanks as always for tuning in. -Carm
No, not another! Timewind was also the first lp I would have heard sometime around ‘76. He has left a rather hefty catalogue that we can spend forever listening to…. I guess a positive we can take is having heard the news from Gorvo. Thanks for sharing your rather enviable collection. C.
Hey Clayton, Really....losing so many. For sure though...there's so much music to enjoy and celebrate him from. Timewind sounds to have been a touchstone for so many. I've been spinning these CDs nonstop for a day now. Thanks much for being here. -Carm
@@gorvo31 What an example of serendipity you had with that record store clerk, eh? You could be spinning the Osmond’s right now. AND you could be digging them.
@@Claytone-Records Ha, you bet! I'd likely have a quite different kind of channel here as well, as there doesn't seem to be much Donny & Marie representation around YT. 🙂
Good to see your tribute, Carm.
Hey Dereck, thanks much. Same to you!
@@gorvo31 You have a serious Schulze collection.
@@dereckvon I am definitely crazy about this artist and his music. 🙂
great tribute Carm-- a genius and appeared to be a really good human as well. i'm listening to side 1 of irrlicht-- striking how much it sounds like he was playing his own cosmic dirge.
Thanks Alex, Much agreed that he really seemed to be a good person too. Quite generous of spirit. Well said on 'Irrlicht'. I have a memory of receiving it for my 18th birthday (I'd asked for it since it was a bit of a pricey import at the local shop) and my mom sort of shimmying during the pulsing organ portion of the end of the first piece, ha. She did express a touch of concern though over what this stuff could potentially do to her son, as she's a lifelong rock 'n' roller. Thanks for tuning in. -Carm
Thanks Carms. I remember when I first bought any Klaus Schulze music was while I was living in Miami, FL. On May 30, 1982 I bought the Live album, because it was a 2LP set, so I got more music. Then I got Cyborg for the same reason. I think that these were from the Peaches Music chain. I have not seen that packaging for the Dark Side of the Moog series. All of those reissued CD packages with bonus material look nice. - Chris
Hey Chris, Very nice even knowing the date you bought that album. Happens to have been on my dad's birthday too! Oh yes, he has quite a lot of double albums. I love that too with the bonus material on CD, that he really fills out the time. One of them runs 79:59, ha. Sometimes I like the bonus stuff as much if not more so than parts of the original albums. The Dark Side of the Moogs are great, and have been playing them a lot as of late. Thanks as always for tuning in. -Carm
We have lost another incredible artist. I do not use the work genius when I talk about many musicians. But Klaus has definitely earned the genius status. Just listening to Timewind and Mirage are both amazing albums. I have Dune too which I also loved. But in my humble opinion the first As Ra T is the one that totally got my attention. The only T Dream album that Klaus played on was Electronic Meditation? To keep up with his records you really have to take a few months out of your schedule. It is sad that so many of these iconic artists are going. >< That Dark Side of the Moog box set looks very interesting. I cannot believe how many albums/CD's that you have of his. >< I cannot believe that you still have an all CD open in Chicago. Most of the CD stores around here closed. BCD {Boston Compact Disc} was huge at one time. They shut their doors. CD Spins on Newbury St is still open. Anyways. I loved the story that you told from Chicago Digital. To hear the clerk saying that he had Klaus's whole catalog at home was amazing. It was almost destiny that you bumped into him. Just think if you went the next day. You may have got a clerk that owned the whole Pet Shop Boys collection. I do not think that would have been as inspiring to you to check out. {smile} Fantastic tribute cousin Carm. I am truly sorry to hear about KS's passing. I know how much that must have stung when you heard it. If anyone can conduct an electronic symphony for the angels... He will certainly have them smiling. Love you Cuz~
Rob/Boston
Hey cuz Rob, We really have, and would agree on genius...his creativity was sustained the whole time. Glad you got into some of his stuff. Oh yes, his drumming on the first Ash Ra especially is amazing! Yep, that was the only TD album Klaus played on. I don't think I made the connection for at least a couple more years since my copy of Electronic Meditation had no liner notes....Oh yes, I just finished listening to all 5 CDs of the first Dark Side of the Moog boxset, and it struck me even more than ever. Klaus' partner on there, Pete Namlook, passed on himself about 10 years ago. Right now I have 'Mindphaser' from Moondawn playing....
I may have spoke too soon....afterwards I looked up Chicago Digital and it said it was "Temporarily Closed". Not sure what that's all about and hope it is really nothing more than temporary. Either way for sure, it is something to have an all-CD shop open for over 35 years! Oh yes, it was meant to be, just so happening that John was a Klaus freak. Ha, well who knows...I haven't heard enough of the Pet Shop Boys, so there could have been potential there too.
It was definitely tough hearing about it...glad it came from Bill and not some article online. I know our pal Gary is feeling it too, as he's been a fan since the early days. Oh yes, Klaus off somewhere creating celestial music in a new realm. Thanks as always for being here. Big love right back at you. -Carm

That is so sad to hear. Klaus Schulze was one of the best electronic music artists.
Much agreed, he was one of the greats and will be missed. Thanks for tuning in.
He was a big innovator he was doing trance and dance music before it was popular.
Oh yes, he was really a visionary and paved the way beautifully. Thanks for being here.
Lovely tribute, thank you. Was going to upload my own memento to him from my synth LP/CD collection, but yours and Dereck Von's are more than adequate (I did feature some KS vinyl on an upload 4 or 5 years ago showing Tangerine Dream solo member's releases). My introduction to his and T Dream music was in '73 when a friend lent me "Cyborg" and TD's "Atem". Wow! Had to collect everything by them ever since! Picture Music, Timewind, Moondawn, Body Love 2 and the Pete Namlook DSOTM series probably my overall favourites. Regards, Gaz (UK).
Thanks so much! Well an artist like this could never have too many tributes. 🙂 Wow, wonderful you got to hear those albums as introductions and when they were new! Klaus' 70's albums you mentioned are among my favorites too, adding Mirage as well. I've been revisiting DSOTM lately and enjoying it more than ever. Thanks much for tuning in and your comments, Gaz. -Carm
Hey Carm, I see that Klaus was a drummer with Tangerine Dream - what prolific writer for sure - thanks for sharing you knowledge of his music with us 😊.
Hey George, He sure was! Was just on that first album too, which sounds quite different than just about any of their other albums I'm aware of. Oh yes, I'm still running across CDs I didn't even show in the video. His output seems endless! Thanks much for tuning in, and hope your travels have been enjoyable. -Carm
Just listened to Timewind Carm .. Pretty Cool Music .. RIP Klaus ...
Hey Jimmy, Glad you gave that one a spin. Was an intro to his own little universe that would evoke our own little universe. Thanks for being here as always good sir. -Carm
RIP brother. Thanks!
He shall be missed. Thank you for tuning in.
Hey Carm, here on the rewatch. Thank you for this wonderful tribute. Spoken from the heart here; your loss is palpable. You really are a lifelong fan; I love hearing your journey with Klaus' music. I knew of his history to a degree, but the sheer extent of his catalogue and influence I had clearly underestimated. I have been playing Timewind the past few days and have you to thank for making me hear it anew (thanks to this video). It's a gift you have :) I hope you're doing well despite the sad news, and Klaus' art is offering you comfort and solace. Cheers- Dean
Hello Deano, Thanks so much! Ah, I appreciate you watching this even once, much less again. I was just telling a friend that while I don't think in terms of hierarchies in life in general, that Klaus for me is at a certain level along with a few other artists that no one else could quite reach for me. Really timeless too in a sense.
Oh yes, well I didn't even show nearly all I have by him on CD alone! I have a habit of letting listening stacks pile up and not always refiling them back into their respective artists' sections, so I'm coming across more and more of his stuff around as I go. Of course even still, I don't have anywhere near all the stuff he released overall, he was so prolific! Glad you've been listening to some of him too and enjoying. I'd been listening to him nearly nonstop up until yesterday when I started finally weaving a few other artists into the mix, ha.
I'm doing better now, thanks, and celebrating his life more than mourning now. Hope you're doing well? Actually, in the days be for Klaus' passing, I'd been spinning the great stuff you've sent me and really enjoying still, so I'll need to get back to that, and I thank you again. 😊 Thanks as always for being here, my friend. Shall have to catch up soon, and looking forward to a new video whenever you're feeling it. Cheers to you down your way. -Carm
@@gorvo31 thanks for the lovely response Carm :) I meant to say too that Klaus seemed very open to collaboration in the way comparatively few artists seem to. I get the feeling of a very generous spirit, and not merely in terms of output!
@@GrandmasHandbag Oh absolutely! As well as being resolute and uncompromising in his music, always, he was a great collaborator and producer, shedding light on other artists. Like Far East Family Band, and Robert Schroeder among others. He was a rare and treasured bird in so many respects. 🙂
Hey Carm, very sad news indeed about this one of a kind composer. I can't really say much more than you have here, I love your description...very nice tribute. Perfect review of Klaus Schulze and his plethora of amazing works from over the years, as well as his brief stint with TD in their early years. I was just playing some of his numerous collab albums with synthesist Rainer Bloss from the 80s entitled "Drive Inn", the 2nd Drive Inn CD from 1986 has a longtime favorite selection of mine called "The Long Way To Acapulco" that actually got some airplay on 94Q as well as KTWV The Wave back then. Both "Drive Inn" CDs I have are the reissued versions off Innovative Communication, a very eclectic label which I'm sure you're very familiar with yourself. RIP Mr. Klaus... Great tribute here once again, talk soon! - Kyle
Heya Kyle, Thanks much. Yes it's really a tough one. Such a deep artist who inspired and influenced so many. Oh yes, I think I showed the Drive Inn. I was just playing that a week ago or so and funny, I did think of you with 'The long way to Acapulco', and how it definitely sounds like something you'd feature! 🙂I recently got the recently reissued double MIG set. Oh yes, I have a lot from Innovative Communications, and still want to do a feature of sorts on the label one day. They definitely went into fascinating directions over the years. Well thanks much for being here as always my friend. Catch you on The Breeze soon. 😎-Carm
Hi Carm, I'm so sorry to hear that one of your favourite artists has passed. I was devastated when I heard that David Bowie passed so I know how you feel. I enjoyed your tribute through showing his albums. Take care - Richard
Thanks Richard, Oh yes, I know how you must have felt too with David. It's like a part of our past is leaving with them too. Klaus was definitely on that level for me. I don't recall if they'd collaborated, though would imagine there was some mutual admiration between them. Thankfully all that music is still here for us to soak up and celebrate. Thanks much for being here, and you take care too. -Carm
Hey Carm--I read where Schulze had passed the other day too. It's always sad to hear about when one of your favorite musicians dies or anyone else that has meant a great deal to your life. I came to Schulze's music rather late in life. I think a large part of that was just that I rarely saw his music. I remember seeing Timewind, and was drawn to the cover, but didn't pick it up at the time, however the cover sure made an impression on me and I wondered what that sounded like. It wasn't until many years later that I listened to it and that was around ten or twelve years ago. It was interesting to see and hear you talk about many of his other albums.
Hey Dave, Oh yes, and again when it's someone around one's folks age, it hits for that reason too. I have found that too with his music in the shops...unless there was an electronic/experimental section, he, TD, Vangelis....would often be slotted into 'Rock', where I honestly didn't look into much. I was fortunate in the CD store that there was a new age/electronic section with all those artists. Glad you got into Klaus eventually, as it's certainly never too late. 🙂 Thanks as always. -Carm
Jarre's Oxygene wouldn't be the same without Timewind by Klaus Schulze,...i've listening to Schulze more than 30 years now, very special moments & memories are linked with Schulze's music,...i still feel very sad , days later his death,...sorry for my crappy inglish! Cheers from Barcelona!!!.
Hello Alvaro, No your English is just fine! That may possibly be true about Oxygene and Timewind. It sounds like you and I have similar experiences and feelings of and for Klaus and his music! Yes, it's hit hard. I've still been playing his music almost non stop since that day. Thanks much for watching this and sharing your words. Cheers back your way! -Carm
Hello Carm. I am sad to hear about this. Another loss that hits hard, similar to the passing of Edgar Froese. One of the most influential albums for myself and I'm quite sure for scores of others is Mirage from 1977, which I see you have in your collection as well. Interestingly, this album was composed with the loss of one of his close friends in death in mind, very emotional, evocative, not to mention a very magical composition. Some of his other recent live works, he always was on stage with a wall of sequencers behind him. He was rather humorous when he took a small break from the stage while his sequencers were keeping pace with the concert. I think that was the live concert with Lisa Gerrard. He walked back on stage and gestured toward his wall of sequencers and said "electronic music." He definitely had a fascination with technology, most of his music from earlier times, similar to Tangerine Dream, he rather grew with the advancement of synthesizers as well as sequencers and software. He was definitely part of my musical experience over the years, he will be very much missed I forgot to add this part at the end here to show my gratitude for your tribute. Take care
Hey Wiley, It really is and yes, does have that same feeling as Edgar. I remember that day as feeling the same, really. Oh yes, a friend just texted me about Mirage, so magical, deep and powerful. Love it! Oh yes, I've seen that footage where he lets the sequences just run. Loved his whole demeanor in spirit along with what he played. I can certainly hear and understand him being a large inspiration to you quite naturally. Well thanks much for your words and for being here. Will be spinning a lot of his stuff for a while here. Peace n love. -Carm
Hi Carm. I suspected I’d see a piece from you. Sad day. Nice tribute with such a great collection. Enjoy the music. I’m curious, have you heard from Shannon recently? Wondering about her; hoping all is well…
Hey Jeff, Thanks much. It really is, am still taken aback. Have kept the CDs out and spinning them. Grieving, though also celebrating his life and creativity. Oh yes, Shannon and I are in touch pretty regularly and last I've heard she's doing well. Will definitely say hello from you. Thanks for being here, and hope you're also doing well. -Carm
@@gorvo31 Hi Carm, thanks for the video. I would also like to pass on my best to Shannon. I see all her videos have gone which is a shame as she really got me back interested in Joni Mitchell.
Hope you're well,
Thanks,
Richard.
@@ilesjazz Hey Richard, you bet...will do. I know a lot of us miss her videos, and yes she either inspired people to revisit Joni or become fans for the first time, which the latter was the case here. Thanks for watching. -Carm
One of the greats indeed. I guess it came out after you did this video, but his Deus Arrakis CD surprised me. It's really good without sounding much like his classic material.
Hey Scott, You bet...and yes, I was looking forward to the new album, though bittersweet. Still showed he had new things to say, so to speak. Thanks as always, and shall respond to you further soon later this week. -Carm
Mental door is my favorite 🙌🏾
Oh yes, wonderful and evocative piece. Thanks for tuning in!
