»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.«(kdm, in The KS Circle no. 183, June 2012) |
