»One of the more interesting aspects of this album is the fact that it contains two different
mixes of the same material. But the mixes aren't very radical. Just the opposite in fact: they're
extremly subtle. So in a rather bold departure from the norm (which is fairly status quo for
Schulze) he releases them both. - kind of an interesting idea when you think about it: two
different interpretations of the same piece of music. ... The different mixes seem to affect the
overall mood of the pieces more than anything else. The descriptions "Wild Mix" for Disc One, and
"Soft Mix" for Disc Two fit very accurately. Overall I'd have to say that Disc Two is the better
of the pair, partially because the sampled voices (which get to be a little irksome) aren't quite as
obvious as on Disc One. ... I suspect, though, that most fans are going to enjoy both discs to a
certain extent, even if they do favor one over the other. ... After twenty-five years and countless imitators, Schulze manages to stand far above the rest.« (C. L., "Beyond the Horizon", USA) |

»... Ces deux disques rassemblent quasiment la même musique, celle jouée à Paris et l'autre à Rome
mais avec deux mixages différents (l'opportunité de ce complément est trés discutable). Chaque
disque est composé de trois pièces dont la plus importante est Das Wagner Desaster, subdivisée
en trois parties: une intro, un développement et un final; les deux plus grandes pièces sont
construites sur le même schèma. L'intro et le final sont les plus fracassantes, les échantillonneurs
explosent en feux d'artifices,...« (D. R., "Rubycon", F) |

»... Le concert est impeccable, les soli pleins de fougue et d'énergie, inutile de compter les breaks
et autres changements de tableaux, tantôt empreints de rage et tantôt de mélancolie et de rêve.
La beauté et le relief du son est saisissante. Le manque "d'humanité" de cet album est pour moi
largement compensé par la richesse humaine de l'artiste dont découle sa musique.« (O. B., "Rubycon", F) |

»This double CD is every bit as fascinating and bizarre as the Royal Festival Hall series ... an
absurdist new chamber music ... it's some of Schulze's most provocative music in the last few
years...« (D. B., "i/e", USA) |
