"Part 10 of the great Klaus Schulze retrospective -- now available as a jewel box. This three CD set contains rare and previously unreleased recordings from 1985 to 1993. The track 'Unheilbar Deutsch' was recorded during a concert at a German radio station in Cologne, in January 1985. 'Maxxi' is the only maxi single that KS ever did. It was recorded by KS in March 1985, on request from a record company, and 'for the discos.' The tracks from 'Walk the Edge' are soundtrack recordings for the American violent crime movie Walking The Edge (also known as The Hard Way) by director Norbert Meisel. 'Havlandet' is again a soundtrack. It contains ten parts (let's call them 'sketches') for the Norwegian movie Havlandet. 'Goodwill' is one track from a handful of poppy experiments that Klaus did in 1991 as a kind of research exercise on popular music. The three Spanish are encores from the concerts in Spain in October 1991. The famous Bach title was played and recorded by Klaus in 1992, and remixed by him in 1993. Intended for the CD release 'Midi Klassik' (called by the company: 'Klaus Schulze Goes Classic'), but not used then because of lack of space. There is another bonus track, 'Weiter, weiter!' which is an encore from the concert in the German town of Aachen, from the tour in 1985."

"Re-Launch of Klaus Schulze's successful La Vie Electronique series (Vol. 1 to 16). La Vie Electronique first was published as a strictly limited 50 CD-Box and later it was released in chronological order in three-CD-sets including some material never released before. Thanks to volumes like this one, no longer can newcomers (or even diehard enthusiasts) desiring Klaus Schulze's music use the excuse of its unavailability to deny themselves the pleasure of experience. Already, the glut of this singular musician's back catalog has been revived in full, beautifully reissued and repackaged; all of his original, notoriously hard-to-find (well, at least for those of us living on the other side of the Atlantic) recordings, most containing additional tracks, are now easily obtainable, and instantly collectable. The ear can become reacquainted with the vast expanse of Schulze music from its earliest beginnings right up and into its modern incarnations, robust with the now-patented lengthy irises, numerous kaleidoscopic events, and still-innovative breadth of tonalities that have become the artist's stock-in-trade."

"'Re-issue of the originally 1972 released Klaus Schulze album Trancefer, including extended liner notes and bonus tracks. Always a soundwave in front of the rivalry, Schulze is presenting his album together with the percussionist Mike Shrieve (Santana), who performs real marvels on his two barrels, and the cellist Wolfgang Tiepold, who forms a pleasant contrast to Schulze's often hard and strictly synthesizer patterns with his warm touch.' --(Stereoplay, Germany, 1982)"

"While other musicians mostly vary their repertoire with nuances, every Klaus Schulze performance is hard to predict. His former bandmate Edgar Froese (Tangerine Dream) once needed a nice image when describing his way of improvising on stage with electronic instruments, saying 'This is like a parachute jump where one cannot be sure if the parachute will even open.' This was particularly true during the time of the unpredictable, analog synthesizers -- but Klaus kept this same work method throughout the years without making any changes. And with this he is one of the few musicians who saved this art of improvising, all during the transition from the analog to the digital era. This is also true according to Schulze's principle, 'It is important that I do not have a clue when I should be going onstage.' What appears to be a paradox or what smells like absolute randomness is quite the opposite; it is a reference to all factors of this deciding moment along with a full release as well as an arrival. The definite highest point however would be the Amsterdam concert. It may also be that it was the tour's third concert after Warsaw and Berlin and all those involved had perfectly played one after another. But this does not explain the magic and the breathtaking dramaturgy of the entire performance. The non-verbal and deeply emotional interaction between Klaus Schulze and Lisa Gerrard was seldom so homogenous, real union as it was here!"

"Since the 1980s, Mario Schönwälder, born in West-Berlin/Germany, has been involved in the production of electronic sounds, first in the environment of Bernd Kistenmacher, and later mainly in duo and triple formations. In 1992 Mario founded his own label Manikin Records, on which he released his albums from then on. Four years earlier, Mario Schönwälder had released Aus einer anderen Zeit..., his first solo work, which was launched in a limited edition and only as a cassette. One year later followed The Eye Of The Chameleon, an album completely in the style of the Berlin School, with a melancholic, partly even somewhat gloomy basic mood. He dedicated the title 'Earthtime' to a deceased friend. The album was released on Bernd Kistenmacher's label Musique Intemporelle, the Berlin electronic musician and label boss described his ever slightly pensive artist as a 'pessimistic optimist' at that time. A nice re-issue with personal words by Mario Schönwälder in the booklet about the making of the album."

"With the label MPS, post-war musical history was written in Germany: noble music productions with many international greats come from the Black Forest and are timelessly legendary. Some treasures from the archive of the label are released by HGBSBlue on high-quality vinyl. The Hampton All Stars played at the first concert of the festival 'VS swingt.' MPS boss Brunner-Schwer was there at the mixing desk. Some of these recordings were released in 1978 as the MPS LP Alive and Jumping (MPS 15469). Lionel Hampton and his All Stars were really into it and brought the audience in the Black Forest, known as rather reserved, to a frenzy, especially after the break. The old master worked his magic on the vibraphone, of course, but also played drums and piano and sang with an irrepressible sense of rhythm as one who had unmistakably internalized swing. The top trumpeter Cat Anderson was another internationally known musician in the eight-piece all-star band with which 'Hamp' toured Europe at the time. And there was someone else who was one of HGBS's personal favorites: pianist and organist Milt Buckner. Buckner's block chords had not only influenced Oscar Peterson and George Shearing, but also inspired the passionate piano freak Brunner-Schwer. The live recording with Hampton's All Stars in Villingen was the last record of Buckner, who died a few weeks later in the USA of acute heart failure. The musicians can be heard in exuberant joy of playing, with 'Hamp' standing out sovereignly on vibraphone and drums, as well as Buckner with soulful organ playing. Everything sounds unspent fresh and cheerful and shows Hampton and his fellow players in top form. This rousing swing, which should appeal not only to jazz fans, is available exclusively on LP."

"Critics in the early 1970s called Gil Scott-Heron the most important Black voice since Martin Luther King Jr. and described him as a black Bob Dylan. 'His poetry is with much muscle, with stiletto humor, with street talk, much of it justifiably angry and accurate,' the New York Times wrote in 1975, marveling at the angry man from the Bronx. No wonder that decades later Scott-Heron was celebrated as the 'Godfather of Rap.' Born in Chicago, the musician, poet and pugnacious activist for human rights himself lived for years in the Bronx. Returning to his black roots, he died May 27, 2011, in New York's urban district Harlem. His legacy includes a fantastic concert Gil Scott-Heron gave with his band at the Schauburg Theater in Bremen (Germany) on April 18, 1983. The technicians of Radio Bremen were on site and recorded this ecstatic show, which will be released worldwide at the end of July as a 2CD and of course as download and streaming as well. Gil's son Rumal Rackley on the release of this concert: 'This album from a 1983 concert captures the spirit that permeated every performance throughout Gil Scott-Heron's travels in the US and abroad. From Europe to Asia to Australia to Africa, his work resonates at the heart and soul level.'"

"Re-Launch of the successful and partly out-of-print La Vie Electronique series by Klaus Schulze in a new jewel box. MIG will gradually make the out-of-print volumes available again. CD 1, on the one hand, contains the second part of the Oberhausen-concert, with 'Schwanensee' on the other: two solo pieces which were recorded in 1976 in the studio in Hambühren. 'Fear at Madame Tussaud's' was recorded in April, 1977 in the London planetarium -- at that time a novelty, for it was the first time that a concert was held in a planetarium. 'Zeitgeist' is a concert which was recorded on October 17th, 1977 in front of 5500 people in the Saint Michael cathedral in Brussels, while 'Inside The Harlequin' is the encore of this evening. The recording date of 'La Vie Secrète' cannot be accurately determined. Recorded either in 1977/78 or 1975, this piece remains a very quiet, almost meditative jewel. In contrast to this stands 'Barracuda Drum,' recorded about 1978 with Harald Grosskopf on drums. Last but not least at the end of the third CD we encounter the Klaus Schulze of 1979: in October and November of that year Klaus Schulze was on tour with Arthur Brown ('Fire'). 'There was Greatness in the Room' is a fragment of the encore of concert from October, 29th 1979 in Brussels. Besides the voice of Arthur Brown, the vocoder-voice of Klaus Schulze can also be heard on this recording."

"Great 3CD collection of all three studio albums of the band plus live album, with extensive photos, bonus tracks and liner notes and compl. Remastered. SFF (Eduard Schicke, Gerd Führs and Heinz Fröhling), had an orchestral sound that was overwhelming and fascinating. With Dieter Dierks (Scorpions, Wallenstein, Nektar etc.) the band found an excellent producer for their first album Symphonic Pictures, which was released in 1976 and sold about 12,000 copies. The trio's popularity grew mainly due to their unforgettable live concerts -- 'It was a bit like magic and an overwhelming intensity that took the audience and the band together into another world.' In this context, the SFF gigs in Scheeßel (Germany, 1977) and, of course, the Brain Festival (1978), from which two songs appear on this collection, should be mentioned. In 1977 and 1978 SFF recorded two more records with Dieter Dierks:"Sunburst and Ticket To Everywhere. After the recording of the last album, musical and ideological differences arose and the trio disbanded. Gerd lived in Bremen until his tragic death in November 1992. He worked in Japan, the USA, England and Germany for Yamaha, who considered Gerd one of the best programmers/keyboard consultants in the world. This CD release is dedicated to his memory."

"John Martyn's extraordinary talent rightly secures him a unique place in music. Emerging from the 1960's folk boom, John is without doubt one of the most progressive and influential artists. Guitarist, singer and songwriter, his inspirational and innovative music is evidenced in his extensive back catalogue of studio and live albums, each providing a fresh chapter in the evolution of his music. John signed for Island Records and released his first album London Conversation in 1967. By the end of the 1970's he had released a string of acclaimed albums and his music had evolved from fingerpicking acoustic folk to embrace rock, blues, jazz and reggae. John created an astonishingly distinctive sound with his uniquely percussive guitar playing fed through a tremolo/wah combination and echoplex. Always exploring, transforming and refreshing, by the early 1980's John was concentrating on electric guitar, playing it in his own unique style and in his own band (Jeff Allen, dr., among others also Snowy White and Van Morrison as well as Alan Thomson, b, also with Robert Palmer, Chris Rea and Eric Clapton). 'The bearded musician from the north of Britain had obviously consumed a substantial quantity of rum and cola before beginning the concert... and with the help of further drinks musical energy was released, which made the evening a complete success... two impressive hours of most intense music.' The Weser Courier, Bremen's largest daily newspaper, reported a day after John's concert at the club 'Schauburg' in June 1983. No doubt about the rum, but John would have been apoplectic at the suggestion he was from 'the north of Britain' although born in Surrey he was Scottish through and through, and fiercely proud of it!"

"Megatone is the third studio album by Klaus Schulze's side project, Richard Wahnfried, released in 1984. On this album, Schulze collaborates with Michael Garvens, Axel-Glenn Müller, Ulli Schober, Michael Shrieve and Harald Katzsch. During the eighties, the German synth legend Klaus Schulze pursued his solo adventure, working at the same time for his Wahnfried project. This Megatone brings something new to his usual 'kosmische musik'. A new element appears once again after the classic Time Actor; the presence of a singer (Michael Garvens). The voice appears in the modern and 'mechanical' electronic piece called 'Angry Young Boys'. Schulze synth explorations are also sustained by guitar parts and sequencers, drum-machines. This vast and epic cosmic 'trip' mixes pure atmospheric realms (the synth strings) with perpetual, repetitive drum rhythms. Megatone is a deep electronic album but not as abstract or as meditative as before. The electronic pulsations and the pop arrangements put Schulze's music into a more 'mainstream' level."

"The album Tonwelle is the result of Klaus Schulze's collaboration with some well-known musicians. Therefore, the album was released in 1981 as a vinyl under the artist's name Richard Wahnfried, featuring among others, Manuel Göttsching (Ash Ra Tempel) and Michael Shrieve (Santana). This original vinyl release was intended to be played at 45 RPM, but Klaus has already mixed the album so that it can also be played at 33 RPM. The now released vinyl edition contains the 45 RPM version -- newly mastered from an original mint vinyl that has never been played."

"Remastered reissue of Omega's second album. More than 50 million records sold, LP productions in Hungarian, German and English, tours and festival appearances throughout Europe and Japan, at least 50 cover versions or adaptations of the world hit 'Gyöngyhajú lány' -- Omega are Hungary's number one rock export. In 2022, the band will be celebrating its 60th stage anniversary, making it one of the longest-serving rock formations in the world. On St. Nicholas Day, December 06, 2021, singer and founding member János Kóbor passed away due to the coronavirus. Now the Omega albums from the well-known and successful Bacillus era will be rereleased originally and completely on vinyl. After a few trips into symphonic and psychedelic rock realms, Omega presented themselves on III, released at the end of 1974, again more down to earth: Nine crisp hard rock tracks, only one exceeding the four-minute mark. For this album, Peter Hauke, still producer, and Omega not only used current material, but also included songs that had already been recorded on the Hungarian original from 1969: 'Stormy Fire' and 'Spanish Guitar'. In order to attract a broader audience, the songs had been pared down, instrumental soloing was reduced. Although Omega had always flirted with progressive stylistic means since their turn to psychedelic rock in 1969, this time they kept their hands off intricate arrangements. Instead, they turned towards the zeitgeist by including rather blunt rock tunes like 'Stormy Fire', 'Go On The Spree' and 'Fancy Jeep' in the list, which could also please a glam rock fan and passionate consumer of single hits by bands like The Sweet and Slade."

"The longest-tenured Irish punk band is undoubtedly Stiff Little Fingers -- who have been bashing and thrashing since 1977. And the vinyl, Live At Rockpalast 1980, shows that the band remained a vital live band (and also, stayed true to their roots) throughout the '80s, despite a five-year hiatus smack dab in the middle of the decade. Singer/guitarist Jake Burns has been the band's leader since their inception -- with bassist Ali McMordie standing right alongside Jake most of the time -- which saw Stiff Little Fingers being a part of the first-wave of Euro punk bands, which included the lofty likes of the Sex Pistols, the Clash, and the Damned, the Buzzcocks, the Jam, etc. And in the process, Stiff Little Fingers issued such classic punk LPs as Inflammable Material, Nobody's Heroes and Go for It plus the punk anthems 'Alternative Ulster', 'Suspect Device' and 'At the Edge'. Jake Burns still remembers: 'The place was packed and the audience were with us from the first note. They were wonderful, singing and bouncing along. It really felt like a 'home game' to use a football analogy. I thought we played really well too, apart from a slight timing mistake during 'Back to Front', a new song we were still learning.'"

"Disc 1: 'Picasso...' is Klaus' longest composition so far. Originally there were various 1992-93 recordings for a film soundtrack, but the film producer could not pay for it and accordingly Klaus withdrew his collaboration and his music. For the Silver Edition release I put the music in logical order. It continues on the Disc 2. The denomination of 'Picasso geht spazieren' was 'Picture Music in Three Movements' due to the fact that twenty years earlier Klaus invented the term 'Picture Music' for one of his earliest albums. This description and name did still fit in 1993 ...especially with the variety of sampling pictures you'll hear while dear old 'Picasso Takes a Walk'. Disc 2: In 1995, '96, '97, '98, '99 and also in the year 2000 the more than two and a half hours long(!) 'Picasso geht spazieren' was elected by the members of 'The KS Circle' among the top ten of the most popular of the many KS titles, the highest position was number 3 in 1997. Disc 3: The original tape of 'The Music Box' had the working title 'Meditation I' first. Klaus recorded it in 1993 and gave it for free to the 'Guttemplers', an institution that helps alcoholics. For the first release in Silver Edition I had given it the full title 'The Music Box -Tongemälde in fis-moll' (Sound picture in F sharp minor). PS: Of course, I had the famous movie in mind when I invented the title 'The Music Box', yes, I speak of Laurel and Hardy's only Oscar winning epos (the one with the piano up (and down) the many steps). I did put some other Laurel and Hardy titles and references in Silver Edition. Not just KS believes that the two (and also W.C. Fields) were true geniuses, they put their souls into their work."

La Vie Electonique Vol. 5 contains works from 1976 to 1977. 'Berlin Schönberg' was recorded in 1976 on a radio concert in Berlin. 'Vie de rêve' is from a concert from the same year, recorded in Reims in France. 'Nostalgic Echo' and 'Titanische Tage' are also solo concerts from 1976. One year later 'For Barry Graves' was recorded -- a short kurzes concert for the WDR-program Musik Extra 3. 'The Oberhausen Tape' was recorded in 1976 (the second part of this concert is on La Vie Electronique Volume 6). 'The Poet' finally is a typical gem from the Moondawn era."

"German electronic music, produced by Klaus Schulze, performed by Dieter Schütz. Dieter Schütz, born in Flensburg (Germany) in 1955, was a highly talented multi-instrumentalist who, unfortunately, died at the age of only 36. Shortly before his death, he founded the pop rock trio Deja Vue together with his partner Ulla Witt and his friend Adelbert von Deyen, of which the album Nightflight was released in 2004 only at the instigation of Adelbert von Deyen. When Dieter Schütz died suddenly on September 25, 1991, he left behind no less than 500 songs and instrumentals composed and produced by himself, of which, however, only a fraction has ever been released. Also, on his first solo album TransVision (1981) Dieter Schütz played almost all acoustic instruments himself and was only supported by percussionist Fred Severloh and drummer Barry Madison (both from the band Lorry, also on the IC label). Germany's electronic legend Klaus Schulze, who unfortunately passed away recently, brought Dieter Schütz to his IC label and produced his debut. Several instrumental solo albums followed, but now on the Sky label. The album TransVision, however, is still considered the most important milestone in Dieter Schütz's unfortunately much too short career. About the three bonus tracks: 'Guess' is a vocal version of the instrumental from TransVision, 'The Lonely Whale' is previously unreleased and 'Blue White View' is from the one and only deja vu album Nightflight with Adelbert Von Deyen and Ulla Witt."

"Muddy Waters had a good sense for talent and accordingly almost always an excellent band behind him, but his backing band from 1974 to 1980, which can be heard on these recordings, was one of his very best: The pianist Pinetop Perkins joined the band already in 1970 after the death of Otis Spann, with the drummer Willie 'Big Eyes' Smith Muddy even worked together since 1964. The bassist Calvin Jones joined in 1971, and in 1973 the two guitarists Luther 'Guitar Jr.' Johnson and Bob Margolin came into the band. The band was rounded out in 1974 by the excellent harmonica player Jerry Portnoy, who later became, among other things, the first blues harp choice for Eric Clapton. Permanent touring made this line-up a top-rehearsed band, which optimally supported the charismatic leader when they entered the stage of Dortmund's Westfalenhalle for the Rockpalast recording on December 10, 1978. Muddy Waters himself was still at the height of his career at this time, his powerful vocals and great stage charisma captivating the audience. Muddy's guitar playing came into its own especially during his typical slow blues slide guitar solos on the Fender Telecaster electric guitar played in normal tuning - and rarely did Muddy have such a hot sound as on these WDR television recordings. The evening's song selection consisted of some of his greatest hits, which probably belonged to the mandatory repertoire every evening ('Hoochie Coochie Man', 'Walkin' Thru The Park', a terrific version of the macho anthem 'Mannish Boy' and of course the immortal 'Got My Mojo Workin''), but also more rarely played tunes like 'Soon Forgotten' by St. Louis Jimmy Oden or 'Country Boy', both atmospheric slow blues with slide."

"The Big In Japan album by Klaus Schulze was originally released on April 19, 2011 on the Made in Germany label. German synth master Klaus Schulze arguably peaked in the mid-70s with albums like Timewind, Cyborg, and Moondawn, but he's still got a sizable cult audience, he passed away on April 26, 2022. Big In Japan was recorded in Japan in 2010, it clearly shows that while generally speaking, he's who he always was, his music has evolved over time. Indeed, this performance is notable for featuring Schulze on electric guitar (on 'Sequencers Are Beautiful') as well as more percussion than usual on 'La Joyeuse Apocalypse'. Big In Japan CD music is a three-disc set with five songs."

"Re-release of the high acclaimed album Virtual Outback (originally released 2000 as part of the strictly limited and long exhausted five-CD-boxset Contemporary Works II).'Virtual Outback' was just one single track: the elegiac 65 minute 'The Theme: The Rhodes Elegy', one of the most favorite of many Schulze fans. The bonustrack is from a filling work for the Chinese mass rally 'China Millenium' on the occasion of the turn of millennium 200/2001. After Klaus' delivery the Chinese government said: 'NO - WAY'! First Klaus used the old Mao song, divided by cutting and transposing, and second he used an ethnic sample from Mongolia. That wasn't possible too, due to the fact that Mongolians are a minority in China. The Chinese government stated: either you respect all minorities or no one. Another pearl from the huge Schulze Cosmos."

"With the Groundhogs, Tony McPhee wrote British blues rock history from the 1960s onwards. Along with Neil Young, he is one of the founding fathers of grunge rock. Still today records like Thank Christ For The Bomb, Hogwash or Split belong in every well-kept collection. Julian Cope, the British 'Krautrock' expert and former frontman of The Teardrop Explodes, once said: 'The way Tony McPhee and the Groundhogs developed the blues was as revolutionary as the works of MC5, the Stooges or that of the Krautrock movement.' When Tony McPhee was not on tour or recording with the Groundhogs, he was on the road with his Tony McPhee's Blues Band, featuring Tony McPhee (guitars, vocals), Steve Towner (bass) and Mick Kirton (drums, ex-Groundhogs, ex-Dumpys Rusty Nuts), indulging his very special form of psychedelic heavy blues. Recordings of Tony McPhee's Blues Band are very rare, with the line-up of McPhee, Towner and Kirton there is only one single from 1983 existing. So, we are all the more pleased that the first official long-player of this enthusiastic trio will now be available with this live album, Split Part II - Live In Bremen 1982. Incidentally, Tony McPhee came to the blues through John Lee Hooker, with whom he toured in 1964. Tony McPhee remembers: 'He (Hooker) said that sometimes he played eleven bars, sometimes thirteen, sometimes twelve and a half. And I realised he did it on purpose - I'd thought he just couldn't count!'"
