Oof. Very sad news, although given his health conditions of late (although apparently since 05 (!)), I suppose it can't be considered shocking.
X, Mirage, and the first 6 Le Vie Electronique are mainstays for me, but those first twelve records or so are all brilliant in one way or another.
RIP to one of the few true masters of his art.
Please don't ask questions, just use google.
Never let good music get in the way of making a profit.
I'm only here to reglaze my bathtub.
I’m simply crushed. A massive influence. A sonic voyager with taste and a sense of context.
Currently in Irish wake mode, with Bulleit Rye and Irrlicht. Timewind to follow, then Silhouettes to provide a sense of his career arc. Maybe the Lorelei DVD with Lisa Gerrard tonight?
So sad.

I remember I was in a record store somewhere in the old Sacramento Downtown mall.....kind of a seedy area but a great store.....probably in 1979.....they were playing this electronic piece....turned out to be Dune.....bought the record and it was the start of an amazing journey.
This one hits hard.
Today, I've listened to Electronic Meditations, Ash Ra Tempel and Timewind today (oddly enough, Klaus was not playing synths on two of them).
RIP, Klaus.
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
That would be one gnarly experience, seeing those three crank it.Originally Posted by battema
If the afterlife has concert venues, those three are gonna clear rooms faster than Lucifer's rebellion.
Maybe he should go easy on the dearly departed and just start with Dark Side of the Moog XII
Very sorry to hear this. A truly great musician, and one I always loved listening to. Rest in peace, Herr Schulze.
We're trying to build a monument to show that we were here
It won't be visible through the air
And there won't be any shade to cool the monument to prove that we were here. - Gene Parsons, 1973
Does anyone know if his friend and partner KDM (Klaus D. Mueller) is still alive?
The website where he sometimes posts cranky-sounding announcements was updated this afternoon with,

Klaus Schulze
4 August 1947 - 26 April 2022
I can't even begin to express how terribly sad I was when I read these news earlier. I still can't believe this. This one hurts beyond words. Farewell to one of my big musical heroes from my early youth and through my life. RIP, Master Schulze!
I bet you and Edgar will have more than a blast together above the skies...
Started with Irrlicht, Cyborg and Blackdance and the next one will be Timewind..
Listening to Timewind now, usually my favorite.
And then, perhaps, "Mirage".
I was surprised and happy to find Klaus Schulze on the closing credits of the new Dune film, Here is the story of how it happened
“And I suddenly remembered that Klaus Schulze wrote a song called ‘Frank Herbert.’ I basically lifted the bass line from that. So I phoned Klaus and asked him, could we make this a co-composition? Hans Zimmer
https://variety.com/2022/music/news/...er-1235242538/
"Klaus Schulze's music has never been more relevant than it is now," praised Oscar winner Zimmer ("Dune") in December last year. "More than ever, Klaus' work is the perfect balance between soul and technology. Electrons as ambassadors of romance. A master..."

RIP KS, Krautrock lost another legend...
Have Jimmy Jackson and Thomas Keyserling also passed?
Klaus Schulze was always ahead of his time. He had a decisive influence on all styles that emerged from electronic music - from ambient to techno. For more than 50 years, Schulze has spread his enormous carpets of sound, played his famous sequences and created an unique Schulze atmosphere. Klaus was always true to his unmistakable way of creating music and always open to new, innovative, experimental things. Rest in peace.
I defenitly need to get more Schulze. At this moment I only have 2 albums.
So sad to hear that Klaus has passed away. I need to get more music from him.
He will be missed.
NP: Are You Sequenced?
Got Timewind, Moondawn and Kontinuum lined up as well, along with a selection of favorites from the editions. Thinking I need to add In Blue and Friendship (ART) as well.
If you're actually reading this then chances are you already have my last album but if NOT and you're curious:

I bought all his albums until the early 80's
How good is the later stuff fro the 80's ?
btw I saw a show he did in 1984 in Holand
Superb
Very cool Udi, never had the opportunity to see him live.
Post 80's is a mixed bag. Some very heavy sample stuff in the early 90's, but he started to revisit his "roots" after that. Some favorite ones (just IMHO):
In Blue (includes guitar work from MG, song is even titled "Return of the Tempel")
Kontinuum
Tradition and Vision: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTScOXvuFeI
Are You Sequenced is interesting too...not classic KS but one of the best of the 90's albums.

A true legend and pioneer, he is now with Edgar in electronic heaven, RIP Herr Klaus.
Sad news. I have to admit I don't own an album from Klaus Schulze, the only one I had was Moondawn, but I couldn't get into his music (maybe I was too young at that time). I do however love the work he did with Stomu Yamash'ta and to honour him I just played the extended Go...Live From Paris, which ends with Space Requiem....
