Klaus Schulze: where to start

Sixty solo albums by one man, recorded across five decades. Five of them, in order, and the reason it has to be this order.

Records, in release order
Album · Klaus Schulze · 1975

Timewind

One night in June 1975, thirty minutes recorded in a single take in the space of two hours. Schulze's first record with a sequencer, and his dedication to Wagner.

Album · Klaus Schulze · 1976

Moondawn

A Moog bought from Florian Fricke three days before Christmas, and drummer Harald Grosskopf. Frankfurt, January 1976: Schulze's pulse becomes a beat.

Album · Klaus Schulze · 1977

Mirage

January 1977: two pieces with no drums and no driving sequencers, subtitled an electronic winter landscape. The winter Schulze set the beat down.
