Klaus Schulze Wahnfried - Trancelation

Re-Issue of the amazing Wahnfried album Trancelation from the 90's. Klaus goes Trance! Oops - not quite a normal Schulze-Album.This album is one of Klaus' sideline ideas, a Wahnfried release. And certainly not exactly a genuine and typical Schulze, if such a character does exist at all.In the 90's there was a new musical dance fashion, called Techno, Trance, Ambient or Chillout, and most of its champions called Klaus and Kraftwerk respectfully the Fathers of Trance and Techno. Parts of former Schulze discs were being played in dance halls, and Techno producers used Klaus' music for their own creations. Fashionable groups such as The Irresistable Force, Future Sound of London or The Orb asked for their use of Klaus Schulze samples, plenty of others just used them. New musical heroes such as Sven V�th or William Orbit talked with Klaus about a musical cooperation...Klaus seemed to like it, or at least some of it. The situation was curious. Klaus Schulze was once discribed as pioneering, single-minded and influential, a musician with taste for adventure. No one else can claim to have been so important a force behind the music that becomes known as New Age or the later subcultural Ambient-House. His greatest triumph as a musician is the almost single-handed creation of synth-sequencer music and the related genres Cosmic Music or Teutonic Synth, which later composers and musicians all over the world have latched on to Sure enough!After doing his own crazy innovative music for a quarter of a century, suddenly some young pop musicians use freely what he did all those years, and sell it as their new invention. And people enjoy and dance to it. The obvious idea for Klaus Schulze was, to do a Trance album himself. It promised some fun.Because this is a bit apart from his own musical direction, Klaus did it under his alter ego Wahnfried, as always not as the only driving force as in any Schulze production, but just one artist among others.
