Klaus Schulze staged two legendary concerts in 1994. They were on the 27th and 31st of May respectively. At that time, Schulze's fans were clamoring for a CD of remixes of his older material. He gave them something different. Das Wagner Desaster: Live is a double CD from those concerts. The source material for each show is the same, but the mixes are different. CD one is "The Wild Mix" and CD two is "The Soft Mix." The music is pure Schulze. It is classic Berlin school electronica by a master practitioner of the style. Schulze surrounds his deep sequences with vast atmospheres and dramatic melodies. This CD is important for e-music fans. For Berlin school collectors, it is essential. ~ Jim Brenholts Klaus Schulze staged two legendary concerts in 1994. They were on May 27 and 31, respectively.

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.
