In college I was a night watchman in a warehouse overnight and would hook up the PA system to echo Klaus throughout the building especially on starlit nights making my rounds, listening, and gazing at the stars through the skylights. What a job... what an artist
@@intramentalstudios5573 It was an overnight security job at a sugar warehouse. Id come in, study, put the music on, make rounds, and open a lawn chair to look up at the stars with Klaus providing the ambience in a dark echoing environment or put on Stars End radio wxpn. Ahhh bliss!!!
This kind of music? All by yourself? Walking round a warehouse deserted at night ?..... Would freak some folk out. I do like this kind of stuff though.
One of Klaus’ defining characteristic is his ability to make eerie otherworldly music without it sounding like a dark and sinister piece that belongs in a horror film. Instead his music has the quality of the unknown, the anxieties and hopes we feel living in a mysterious universe. He takes us on a journey that isn’t meant to lull us into ambient bliss but rather challenges us to explore new creative worlds in our minds that inspire wonder but also gives us a sense that where we’re going might not be a utopian space age fantasy but perhaps something better- something beyond our earthly understanding.
That's an incredible feat to visualize. I clicked-on the eye-candy of the thumbnail just a moment ago and read this comment, like I haven't lived my days writing electronic music beyond the rapture of a sanctified respite for my restless soul. Perhaps from a creative perspective on finding a sense of purpose or belonging to one's art, music like this can aptly invoke a yearning for something beyond the humanistic limitations of what drives that creation forward... And forget the boundaries of possessing it altogether with the compartmentalizing idolatry that such imposed limitations can bind for a perceptual paradigm. But I agree. I think the music is pretty badass :D
I coincidentally (?) discovered Klaus just following the recommendations just now. I like reading the comments under the albums like this. There's so much life in them. I never commented anything on youtube but decided to make my debut here. I'm a DJ and a drug addict. I hate the second part about myself. I feel stuck. Sometimes I forget why I have stepped into DJing. Music is the thing that brings me to the state of the Universal (God's) confession. This is the thing that makes me feel like I'm in a movie and that I'm alive at the same time. Karl hasn't cured me but made me feel that again for this hour and a half. I have a lot of thoughts right now. And all of them are bright. Thank you and rest in peace, Karl. And thank YOU for reading.
Listening to this in the car makes you take a series of side streets to lose your tail even though you are just going to the grocery store to pick up a gallon of milk.
Discovered Klaus Schulze in the 1970s by accident and have been hooked on this kind of music ever since. It seems to negate my A.D.D. and puts me into a zone of total concentration. Came in handy for studying, doing boring assignments, and even housework. Even good for insomnia. Another great artist of my generation ..... gone, but not forgotten.
Music can definitely have that effect. Not all ambient music is good for concentration though, sometimes it makes me just stare into space. Also, some distinction between motivating music to start working, and unobtrusive background music like this for continuing to work might be good.
One of few true pioneers and masterminds of synthesizer-music has passed away. Thank you for your lifetime-work. Thank you Klaus, for countless hours of comfort, uplifting, calm, intensity and peace and all the feelings that I was able to experience with your music and will always experience. Thanks. I bow my head.
I’m still cautious about music like this. It does something deep in the mind that its hard to be aware of, and it has parallels to some drugs from the sounds of it, stimulating the synthesis of such chemicals by your body I guess. It doesn’t appear to cause much harm, but it might take you away from concerns in your life that were worth being concerned about. Some things you can let go of but there’s always some grounding needed in life, and too much of a good thing can take that away I guess.
It saddens me that he died, but his music will live forever. I've barely scratched the surface listening to his music, but everything I've heard is better than the last.
Got this recommended and clicked it out of curiosity. Then I began answering some of unanswered messages on my phone. I started to work, I write for a living. After about 20 Minutes I looked up, mentally realizing that I was listening to this piece of art. Man. I wrote some good stuff in these 20 minutes.
I am systematically spamming albums that are going through the youtube feed and categorizing the things that I enjoy and yes I very much enjoy this and will listen to this for years to come thank you. Very much. Hi @ me in the year 2030. yes. cringe at your comment.
Irreplaceable - the soul of electronic music... I remember listening to Jean-Michelle Jarre "Oxygène" when it came out in 1976, forty six years ago. I was blown away. Then somehow I got a copy of Klaus Schulze's Timewind, and I was forever changed. I have listened to KS every day since. Every year the release of a new album was like a gift from a best friend. I never saw you in live in concert, how I wished I was there... Thank you Mr. Schulze for making my life a more fulfilling one!
last year was my freshman year in library science, here in maceió(brazil), i used to play this on my phone whilist going back home at night in the bus, i always get the ones with longer routes and late at night its easier go get empty busses, so i just listen to it while glancing at the buildings going by as i approach the downtown area and the cars and the people, i'm not from the city, i grew up in the countryside, so even if was a solid 2 years living here, i still found myself glancing at the metropolis like i've never seen it before, and this... dude... this is the soundtrack to that Klaus and some other artists, should i mention them, Cuevox, Ex Aquis, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Shako-Pani and DJ Marky inspired me to start making my own songs, my own soundtracks. ... jeez i hate covid, stay safe you muffins
Yeah omg the ambience of klause with the stage set at night and long hours of solitude afforded and things to observe in a dream like state while listening. omg aphex twin we are all musically related lol. i segwayed into van dyke and carlcox from aphex then got into show gaze and returned back to space. try forest fang and shingo nakamora. all inspired me i wrote about 300 songs but its just a hobby for me😞, morpheus1x
I get you, I'm from Finland so any description of "Metropolis" is kinda gratuitious here, but I grew up in a suburbia where there weren't even any _buses_. For me, blasting GitS soundtracks or ambient music while riding random bus routes in the summer months when the sun never really sets is a big big mood. I'm in my thirties now but I don't think I'll ever get tired of good music and mundane views
Deux albums....à mes 14 ans dans le Verdon sur une crête.. j'écoutais cela sans savoir comment j'étais tomber dessus et par qui... Une cassette trouvée sur le bord du jabron.. et ce fut un vrai Cosmos que mes neurones voyageaient à cet instant...avec l'album Picture Music. De 1975...j'avais 14 à peine....depuis.......le Verdon fut peuplé d'etranges événements... Celui de l'ancien Verdon... j'écoutais en 76 cela..
Ich kann mich nur tief verneigen vor dem Lebenswerk dieses genialen Künstlers und sagen: Danke Klaus, für ungezählte Stunden von Trost, Aufbau, Ruhe, Intensität und Frieden und all den Gefühlen, die ich mit Deiner Musik erleben durfte und immer erleben werde. Zwei mal konnte ich ihn live erleben, einmal in der unbeschreiblichen Atmosphäre in der St. Michael Kirche in Köln. Danke.
Odszedł największy, najwybitniejszy, najgenialniejszy muzyk niemiecki od czasów Richarda Wagnera. Nikt Go nie zastąpi. Żegnaj Klaus! Zostawiłeś muzykę, która zawsze była i będzie ze mną.
seems to be true for me so far. Its a welcome change to hear music that isnt structured like a normal song but rather trying (and succeeding) to paint a scenery out of sound.
I love to paint, and am an abstract artist,I read something that I felt intriguing ,necessary to share...."..artists create their art on a canvass, musicians create their music on silence" .It just affected me ,is all I dare say
J'écoute Klaus depuis 1976 j'avais 14 ans.....et vu en concert.....j'ai rencontré Jacques dudon dans le Var avec son son lumière audible et autre son emis par des disques de lumière.. parce que Richard W Schulze à été est encore mon o dela cosmique et veine dans ma vie...une muse en son. émotion.. intuition... cosmique ...gaia.. comme deux arc en ciel réuni dans les nébuleused. Et pourtant je sais être terre à terre ....il restera jusqu'au dernier moment ici.. et ce son me suivra o dela.. merci à ce grand monsieur ..entité..' 'depuis 1976
Je m'appelle Schulzovka, donc bien sûr j'aime beaucoup Klaus Schulz. :-) C'est vraiment de la très belle musique et ça marche et se détend magnifiquement. Merci beaucoup.
What I love about watching KS videos on RU-vid is how nice the comment sections are. No one is putting anyone down for having a different opinion or trying to one-up each other by arguing who is the bigger fan, no insults or nasty words, just everyone coming together to share their mutual enjoyment of his amazing music.
Where I been all this time so busy being a husband and father and grandfather working until I retire during pandemic no visitors looking on iPhone and iPad music nothing but strange and brilliant talent groups funny some of them I never heard now I’m 77 years old any music on this RU-vid is a god sent love it
To me this album is Klaus’ late masterpiece. Make the effort to listen to it on good headphones or better yet between two good speakers. Eyes closed please. Sad that he’s gone, but grateful he was extremely prolific.
Hooked up my older stereo system but bought new speakers and just ordered this in vinyl today. Excited to hear it properly next week with lights out!! 🙌🏼
What a mystical piece of music this is. Surely, Klaus must have had a very deep and metaphysical role to play in the success of TD in the first place back in the early 70's. The music blends into the background of the mind and stimulates whatever the listener is focusing on, such that it almost feels like subliminal magic. Thank you to all of the listeners who have reported the same feeling. What a wonderful album and a true musician. RIP Klaus.
KS had this way of making Berlin school music like this that ear wormed it's way into your consciousness whether you were paying attention or not. So many many times I'd put on a KS album and get utterly lost in space and time to it, hypnotised by its beauty only to snap back to reality when the absence of music hits at the end. Sometimes I wouldn't realise it ended and just be in something like a soporific state. He did sequencer music like very very few others.
Listened to Mr Froese and Schulze when I was 16 years old teenager. Now I have, at the at the age of 50 re-discovered their beautiful avant guard music… Even my wife has taken a liking to it!
Hahaha! You make me happy doing this! I was a cook at the Hollywood Bowl and I would sneak on stage, just imagining....your story holds the same feeling....when you are in the middle, with the music...always the music.
this started as a recommended video one night, clicked on it for the insane cover art. i fell in love with it so much, that i immediately bought the vinyl on amazon. only 2 left in stock (so they say). got it this week, love it. come to find out, today marks the 13th anniversary of this album’s initial release! I cant believe i went this long without knowing who this guy was! thank you universe for this gift, and thank you Klaus for the beautiful psychedelic sounds that calms all of my shaken nerves.
Same here, haven't bought the Vinyl but discovered it through youtube and been listening to it every night for maybe 1.5 months last winter. Now it's getting back into my nightly routine haha.
Same allure with the artwork for me because I didn’t know who this artist was when I clicked on it. I was hoping or expecting it to be a Techno album of sorts because of the art, name, and title. Reminded me a lot of some material by Tangerine Dream when I listened to it.
This album is SO amazing, even one of my kitties comes and relaxes next to me every time I play it. I thought it was a fluke but no. Every time I play it. I would say this is the Mirage of the 2000's, but then again, whenever I switch to another like Eternal or Virtual outback, or Moonlake, or Klangart, or Vanity, ION, Shadowlands or the Ballet CDs, the Farscape, on and on and on....... it NEVER ends. But thankfully there is so much Klaus Schulze to choose from. His is music is so freaking badass. I rest my case. IMO unlike Froese who became "commercial" he stayed true to his roots
PRIMERA VEZ KE ESCUCHO ESTE TIPO O CLASE DE MÚSICA.....ES BUENA....ME GUSTA.ALEJANDRO BORDÓN, DE ROSARIO ,ARGENTINA. ¡¡¡¡¡¡ VIVA EL CINTURÓN DE FOTONES !!!!!! .27.04.2024(SAT).
Ich kannte Klaus noch nicht, ich erfuhr von ihm über einen Artikel im "Spiegel" und wollte hier unbedingt Probehören. Wahnsinn, das klingt für mich eher nach einer Musikreise. Extrem kreativ und phantasievoll. Das wird mir sicherlich einige Abende schöner Entdeckungsreise bescheren. Schade, dass ich es nicht schon früher kennen gelernt habe, ist sicherlich nicht meine Generation, aber die Musik hört sich zeitlos an. Ruhe in Frieden Klaus.
Descanse en paz. Se me va uno de mis referentes e inspiradores en la música, en la física y en mi vida. Pero su legado permanecerá generaciones, aunque no lo sepan. Gracias Klaus!
Dziękuję za to co powiedziałeś. Klaus Schulze zrobił dla Kultury Muzycznej bardzo ale to bardzo wiele BYŁ MISTRZEM. Świadomość że już GO nie ma nie jest łatwa dla mnie do przyjęcia 😪😪😪💓💓💓🇮🇩
When I first heard the moog at age 10 (50 years ago) I was intrigued. When I first heard an album from Schultze I was swept of my feet. This guy is a pure synth genius and has brought me many hours of deep space enjoyment. give the man a medal for almost every album. thanks for making my life above bearable.
Ate magic mushrooms and meditated alone in a dark room, while listening to this whole magnificent album couple of months ago, no words can describe what i have expirienced. Hail Schulze and his marvelous work.
i find it a bit lazy to often hear "i cant describ what ive experienced" cmon share a bit and try harder. ive felt alien tell me to not open my eyes if they show me hell
My god Patricia2paris is beautiful! LOL it’s always the case that when someone sees a comment to them like I just made, One of two things is assumed 1.your a creeper or 2. Your a big greasy hambeast
Chère Patricia, les musiques et playlists sur votre chaîne ont égayé ma journée. Je ne les connaissais pas pour beaucoup. Je me suis abonné. Belle journée.
Escuché a klaus schulze en la radio por primera vez a los 9 años en 1972, me gusto en seguida por sus hermosas melodías que nacían de manipular sintetizadores y máquinas electrónicas y sus sonidos te transportan a otras atmósferas y otros lugares , qué genio de creatividad artística, todavía lo escucho así como a toda la escuela berlinés… grande schulze…
What an album - the kind of music that never grows stale no matter how many times you listen to it. A godfather of trance if there ever was one. Greetings from England.
@@fleaship6134 If English is not your first language maybe that's why you're not understanding what I said - if you do speak English and still say I said it was trance I can't help you - read my second comment again.
@@fleaship6134 trance music is thousands of years old, by that definition it totally fits. and put a donk on the second track and its basically whatever in your mind is "trance" anyways
"Welcome to another journey Space Travelers on Hearts Of Space. I am your host, Stephen Hill, and you are listening to Klaus Schulze's 2007 album "Kontinuum". So sit back and enjoy the space travel for the remainder of tonight's show with Klaus Schulze."
I dig this so much. Reminds me of a merry go round of thought and experience. My brother and I sat listening to this with the lights low and we both agreed it feels very ancient. I was seeing the rise and fall of roman society. I love history so I closed my eyes and imagined a time line of people ebbing and flowing to this music. Great societies rising only to disappear by the sands of time. :)
I often get to hear that Klaus' music is depressive and sinister. The other day a friend of mine said that those people who say that are full of fear of the unknown...
At the beginning I thought.. what is this uncreative, unoriginal, unimpressive and repetitive nonsense... but as it progressed I realized like a spider's prey I was slowly being wound up and eventually so tight I couldn't leave, captivated by the ethereal atmosphere that drifted in around me unaware. And now.. I don't mind staying here forever. Thank you Klaus Schulze for your contribution to the wealth of this world. Rest easy in the Ethereal you created. I will join you in awhile.
Due to Coronavirus lockdown, i have been trying to expand my musical tastes. Started with listening to Mike Oldfield, then RU-vid recommended Tangerine Dream (which i enjoyed) they then recommended this album and i gotta say I'm loving it. Mostly i listen to Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Led Zep, AC/DC etc. But sometimes i need to chill out and expand my mind, and this is perfect for that.
Search for PsyChamber or Astral Dude. Both channels are filled with chill tunes: psychill, psybient music. Similar to downtempo but spacey sounding. Love it.
Mark Prior SO, this quarantine I discovered some awesome artists too. You can try these if you like progressive post rock. 1. We lost the sea. 2. The Evpatoria Report. 3. Godspeed You! Black Emperor. 4. Anoice. 5. Paint the sky red. 6. God is an astronaut. 7. Moonlit sailor. 8. Younger brother. 9. Infected mushroom (well known, I’m sure you know this.) 10. Hugo Kant 11. Low - lullaby. Some other genre- Yank, Buckethead, Estas Tonne, SHPONGLE
Nice recommendations - here are some other - I hope - worthwhile mentions - Renaissance - 'A Song For All Seasons'; Kitaro - (Go for his early stuff); Gandalf - try 'Visions'; Tangerine Dream Mannheim 1976; Brighton 1986; Portsmouth 1981; Alpha Centauri (Studio LP) and Klaus Schulze Brussels 1977 - Janson. Klaus Schulze tracks 'The Wizard Of Doz and 'Are We Getting Lost?' 'Happy lockdown' (Before this phrase gets trademarked). You can just see the birth of a brand new card in shops soon - can't you? Take care.
I think your shoes fits me too!! I started with Tangerine Dreams "Stratosfear" already back in 76 as a kid myself, and was hooked on those strange sounds. I followed the romatic synth-scene in the early 80's, and then got to know your preferences very well in the late 80's . I still kept listening to TD during this time, maybe not so much, but really picked it up again in the mid 90's. I decided to "study" their composistions in chronological order to se where these guys "came from", and what they brought to the table so to speak, and what the common end product was and then again see how they evolved over the years . Of course I had to crossreference the music with their contemporarys like KS here, and O'boy was I blown away when I heard Irrlicht for the first time. And I was totally taken by surprise to find out that it was an organ-piece - no synths involved. Wooooowww!!! I'm stil studying these groups, and I fear I will never be finished. Layers upon layers of music designed to let your mind drift away and play your own internal movie as it goes along. These days I'm also hooked on this particurlar KS album, and I've grown quite fond of Euro Caravan. The first 10 minutes of soothing sounds and these strange lyrics and vocalization (reminds me of Lisa Gerrard from time to time), and then the sequencer kicks in and totally change the mood... Woow. I was shocked when I heard those bouncing/plopping sounds that occures ca 1 min into the drumpart - they're so crispy an clear and really kicks you in the b...s!! I had to test this particurlar piece with those plopping sounds at a lokal Hi-end Hi-Fi-store. Got it tested on a Pro-ject Xtension 9 Evolution recordplayer, through a Hegel H30 poweramp and got my balls totally crushed and my bowels twisted from the sound that came out of those monstrous B&W 800 D3 speakers... If you try such a hig-end solution and play this piece, you'll want to sell your car, your wife, your dog etc just to get these monsters in your living-room and forget the world when you dive into the wonderful musical universe of Klaus and the Tangs!!! The best recommendable things to do in these quarantine-times....
Tristeza profunda. Perda irreparável. Foi um verdadeiro gênio do Rock Progressivo Eletrônico (Krautrock). Descanse em paz grande mestre, grande maestro. Klaus Schulze (1947 - 2022)

I discovered electronic music while listening to a great radio station in the 1970s. WGTB was a student run FM radio station out of Georgetown University in Washington, DC. The station also played reggae, punk, and other music that I heard nowhere else. That is where I learned of Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schultze, Brian Eno, Mike Oldfield and others. I was immediately intrigued by the sound and warmed to it. Quite a contrast to the other music on FM radio at the time, for sure. Thank goodness for RU-vid. I can find all the music from my old albums and stream them in my car and at the office. Great music to have playing in the background while working. I do miss the fun of going to the record store, reading liner notes, sometimes getting a poster, and album art.
This album is so incredible. It's like wandering a labyrinth. A labyrinth wherein at each moment the wanderer is capable of creating & experiencing each shift in tonality.
I always come back for a listen to this one . I like all Klaus Schulze recordings . Timewind was the first album I listened to when I was 14 in FL at my friends house . His mom and stepdad were hippies and one night after smoking I sat back and closed my eyes and felt like I was levitating at times . This was the mid 1980's and I still enjoy Timewind . Kontinuum helps me levitate even higher off my chair these days , without smoking weed . Thank you :)
Although I first heard Force Majeure coming from a mates older brothers bedroom in 1979 and loving other music by TD - Madrigal Meridian , Coldwater Canyon , Rubicon ,Ricochet , Logos and the 2020 re work album I’m not as big a Geek on all things Electronic enough to have even heard of Klaus until YT suggested this 5 years ago. Cannot believe how beautiful, interesting and contemporary these wonderfully crafted together 3 or 4 passages of music are . Will play this till I die and get my 20-something kids to hear it before I do. Thankyou all concerned with bringing this to our ears & minds 👍❤️😁
I have a pottery studio so its a while before I can cross back over to my computer which is on a steel shelf behind my kilns.Mostly therefore, I like to let the new age algorithm set the pace.I find Schulze is a little harder edge than I like at full volume so I cut him down to about 2. Eventually the Utube prompt in any case stops play and I have to cross the studio and reset to continue and tidy up my head.A tidy headed potter is a happy potter. I am a🙂 happy potter.
Used to listen to this album while studying chemistry for my bachelor's degree, seemed to me to penetrate more into the deep secrets of matter. It was quite a hard time too
