Klaus Schulze made some amazing electronic music back in in the 1970’s/1980’s. I spent many a night in college at UVA contemplating my navel and listening to Klaus Schulze. You did good sir. RIP.

I just love Tangerine Dream. Whenever I need some me time, I put on some Dream and not only do people take off but I get to listen to some great electronic music. Thanks, Klaus, RIP. ---

Agree - but I’m not sure the only Tangerine Dream album Klaus Schulze played on (Electronic Meditation) is representative of their material 🙂 ---

Yeah, I saw that…RIP to a real genius. And he was still producing even recently! His 2018 album “Silhouettes” grabbed my imagination for some reason, there was about a year there where I listened to it most nights before bedtime. It was (in his own description) a reversion to a kind of minimalism… ---

Shame; I have some old vinyl solo stuff at home I should dig out and play. Still remember reading loads of references to him in Matt Howarth’s comics like Savage Henry & Those Annoying Post Brothers - he was even in the Bulldaggers, an imaginary group Savage Henry played in!
