Klaus Schulze: "X"
Heard Again

»A fan had sent me a mail and asked for some musical and instrumental details from an album title. I took the CD out of my shelves, put it on and played the track. It was "Georg Trakl" from the "X" double album. Not listening to it for a long time, I was really surprised how fresh and lively is sounded to me. After all it was recorded a third of a century ago. It never was and still today it's not classifiable: it's neither pop music, nor "classical" music, there is no schmaltz and there is no arty seriousness, it's a piece of music that stands for itself, as, by the way, many other tracks by Klaus. "Georg Trakl" is pure Schulze music, but of the more "light" and "flimsy" kind. The music bounces like an playful lamb in the open countryside on a sunny springtime morning. ...if I may say so.

There were no prototypes, no examples, no forerunners of this archetypical, genuine "Schulze music". At least I don't know any. If you know any track before, any piece before, any composition before, that is similar to, for instance, Klaus Schulze's GEORG TRAKL, please tell me.«
