New book Klaus Schulze: Electronic Music Legend
Wednesday, February 11th, 2009
Many people consider Klaus Schulze to be one of the greatest musicians alive, having continually produced groundbreaking electronic and atmospheric music for an astonishing 40 years. From his earliest days as a member of famous krautrock and electronic bands like Tangerine Dream and Ash Ra Tempel to his solo work releasing dozens of albums that push the boundaries of sound, he is certainly worthy of being called a legend.
Now, this status has officially been preserved by the publishing of a new book about him called Klaus Schulze: Electronic Music Legend. Written by Greg Allen, this 300+ page book documents everything you could possibly want to know about Klaus Schulze, from his own personal history to what instruments he has used. The bulk of the book is made up of an in-depth, album-by-album journey through the Klaus Schulze discography with lots of discussion, both factual and opinionated. There are also several interviews with Schulze and many of the other musicians that have worked with him over the years, photos, and a number of other extras.
You can read reviews of the book, the table of contents and an excerpt, and other information relating to Klaus Schulze: Electronic Music Legend at the book’s website KlausSchulzeBook.com. You can buy the book online at many locations including Amazon.com in the USA, Trafford.com in Canada, SphericMusic.de in Germany, and Foyles.co.uk in the UK.
