Moondawn

This 1976 album is excellent and is somewhat similar in texture to Timewind (1975). The most noticeable difference however, is that drummer Harald Grosskopf (Wallenstein, Cosmic Jokers) plays a full drum kit on Moondawn, and with great results. In general, the two tracks are very moody and long (27'13 and 25'35 respectively) and consist simply of long drones on the moog synthesizer and string synthesizer (or the Hammond organ as used on Mindphaser) and sequenced synthesizer lines on the "big" moog. This music is largely static, with loads of bubbling and fizzing synthesizer sounds and only subtle changes in key and tempo. I should note that Harald's drumming is excellent and really breaks things up a bit - in fact, Klaus seems to loosen up a bit during the passages that include drumming and solos on the moog. The best example of this is on Mindphaser. This remastered version is absolutely superb and features incredible sound quality, restored artwork, a ton of pictures of Klaus playing his banks of synthesizers, and detailed liner notes. The real treat however, is the addition of the excellent bonus track Floating Sequence (21'11"), which was taken from the Moondawn recording session. This version of Floating Sequence is a stereo mix that is completely different from the version included on the 1995 release of Moondawn. This album is very highly recommended to all electronica fans along with Timewind (1975), Body Love (1977), Mirage (1977), and X (1978).

Great album, I am a fan of Klaus Schulze for a long time, ethereal and dreamy, thought provoking and great meditation music. This music sends one deep into the recesses of one's mind and is great when played late at night.

One of my top 3 Schulze albums. (The other 2 being Timewind and Mirage). This is one of his most dynamic sounding works partially due to the excellent drumming of Harold Grosskopf. Like most Schulze albums this is best listened to using headphones. Very highly recommended and an excellent starting point for someone just getting into Klaus.

I first heard this when it came out - I was 15 years old. I'd never heard anything like it, and it has now spawned a whole genre of music. It's really more for history, than for listening. I love when it comes on with the random music setting and I'm busy doing other things. It's a little slow for direct listening (unless you're heavily sedated...)

This is the quintessential musical experience. There is no other of this caliber of listening experience. It is phenomenal. The music takes me to a different dimension, creating a connection between my soul and the divine.

Simply, this is K. S.'s best album ever from beginning to end. A must for electronic progressive rock collectors.

Arrived well and plays great!

classic Klaus true space music the disc was in great shape and very fair price.

Stunning music! Generally, I prefer Schulze's post-2000 music, but Moondawn, with its crystal-clear recording and brilliant musical sequences is, I think, the very best of his 1970s creations. This particular edition of the CD, sold by marvelio, is the Revisited Records edition, and so contains "Floating Sequence" too, which is-- again, in my opinion-- the best of all Schulze's bonus tracks. One has to admire his commitment to giving listeners a full CD of music; so many classic bands and/or their owners have issued so many less-than-50%-full CDs. This one at once joins my personal "desert island discs" collection.

Tutto per fetto

Super Scheibe,einer der besten

Franchement, comment noter un disque ? Je vais essayer de décrire : une musique calme, riche , envoûtante, je dois préciser que je suis une fan de ce monsieur depuis de nombreuses années. Chaque album a son charme, celui-ci est un de mes préférés, je l' ai donc racheté en CD . Je recommande aussi "Rheingold", ambiance un peu différente, agrémentée par touche d' un chant féminin magnifique.
