La Vie Electronique 2 [Digipak]

Performer: Klaus Schulze
Distributor: Ryko Distribution

Notes: As a member of seminal "kosmische" groups Ash Ra Tempel and Tangerine Dream, and throughout his long and distinguished solo career, Klaus Schulze has emerged as one of the pioneers of modern electronica. Schulze's `70s work, characterized by pulsing analog sequencer rhythms and proto-ambient synth drones, presaged developments in techno and trance by nearly two decades. The three-disc set, LA VIE ELECTRONIQUE 2, is the second in a comprehensive reissue program focused on rare tracks from the long out-of-print and highly limited ULTIMATE EDITIONS, a compilation series originally released in the `90s and containing previously unreleased material from Schulze's classic early `70s albums.

Klaus Schulze is the living essence of electronic music, having both practically invented it in the 1970s, and embodying many of its signifiers: Teutonic, intellectual, and highly experimental. A founding member of the influential electronic group Tangerine Dream, Schulz left after one album to pursue other avenues of expression, first with Kraut-rockers Ash Ra Tempel and then as a prolific and enduring solo artist. His explorations in synthesizer rock have yielded several classic albums and have influenced the New Age and Trance genres.
