Brett VargoHOST
[laughs] All right, how about your next pick?
Danielle DePicciottoGUEST
I'd say, um, Klaus Schulze, Elektronik Impressionen.
Danielle DePicciottoGUEST
And it's a, it's a funny sa- story how I discovered this album.
Danielle DePicciottoGUEST
I was doing an exhibition, because I also paint, and um, I was in this little off-gallery with this very, how would you say, um-
Alexander HackeGUEST
[laughs]
Danielle DePicciottoGUEST
Exactly.
Danielle DePicciottoGUEST
In any case, so I played Klaus Schulze with bird sounds, and I actually, a lot of his albums I don't really like, 'cause they're very, um-
Brett VargoHOST
Meandering?
TonyHOST
You know, a lot of their other influences started to come through.
TonyHOST
So, like, I know a lot of those guys were fans of like, you know, Klaus Schultz and other dark synth artists.
TonyHOST
Depeche Mode was real big, you know, at the time in Europe.
TonyHOST
So there's a lot of like that,
Shawn O'SullivanHOST
Um, uh, turned up in some, some, some...
Shawn O'SullivanHOST
Earlier in her career, turned up in some very excellent French erotica, such as the, uh, the, the film Body Love, which has a great Klaus Schulze soundtrack.
ChrisHOST
Yeah.
Shawn O'SullivanHOST
Um, uh-
CarlaHOST
This was the winter of 1969 to 1970.
CarlaHOST
Schnitzler would then leave to join Tangerine Dream with Klaus Schulze and Edgar Frose.
CarlaHOST
Moe and Roe stuck together and rebranded themselves as C-Cluster.
BradHOST
C-Cluster continued to partner with Connie Plank, who was a credited member of the band on their first record, Cluster 71.
Steven WilsonGUEST
Base Community has always had that prog rock aesthetic of I want the piece to feel like it's developing.
Steven WilsonGUEST
Again, this is what, this is what set Tangerine Dream apart from, say, someone like Klaus Schultz.
TobiasHOST
Mm.
Steven WilsonGUEST
And I love both of them equally, and of course, they both came from the same place.
Steven WilsonGUEST
But Klaus Schultz was always about, "I've got this interesting sound world.
Steven WilsonGUEST
Now I'll basically let it run for 30 minutes."
TobiasHOST
Yeah.
Steven WilsonGUEST
It would be much more modular.
TonyHOST
It's like, well, no, it's not, but they're experimenting.
TonyHOST
And like, they're obviously huge fans of like tangerine dream and Klaus Schultz.
TonyHOST
But then you get, if you stick with it, you get absolute everywhere, which is, a masterpiece in my opinion.
TonyHOST
I mean, you're, you're talking like equal parts, death metal, equal parts like Pink Floyd and you get that because of their experimentation.
John MerrickHOST
Um-
Seamus ColganGUEST
Well, if, if this was, as I said, Tangerine Dream or Klaus Schulze, uh, or Ashra Temple, they would've stretched this over a whole 20 minutes.
Seamus ColganGUEST
It's, it...
Seamus ColganGUEST
This is song that really do with breathing.
Steve GouldHOST
They were using that because of the ambivalence of analog synthesizers.
Steve GouldHOST
The only problem was, and I was a big fan of Klaus Schulze.
Steve GouldHOST
Huge, huge fan.
Steve GouldHOST
I used to write to the guy.
Steve GouldHOST
You know, I'd look forward to hearing how they get it.
Steve GouldHOST
And they couldn't reproduce it because they didn't know how they got there in the first place.
Steve GouldHOST
But obviously with the advent of samplers and so on, If you've ever heard any of Klaus Schulze's back catalogue, I mean, he's got an immense back catalogue.
Steve GouldHOST
Oh, wonderful stuff.
