The living legend returns! Finally, 5 years after his latest all new solo album ‘Kontinuum’, the master of electronics Klaus Schulze is back with the new studio album by the world’s true trailblazer of Ambient!
(excerpt from the liner notes, written by Christopher von Deylen (SCHILLER – famous act in Germany):) Dear Klaus, your music walks with me since I first started to feel music. without your sequences and loops, the world would be flat. the depth that resides in your sounds, it touches and gives hope. you have researched, in- spired, tried and dismissed – and found your way. your unmatched way to approach the sounds, to just let them happen… what a feast for the senses. you are true to yourself, you are defying the flavour of the month, you stay with yourself. Your new oeuvre ‘Shadowlands” shows us how passionately you are walking this way, your way.
With open eyes, determined and empathic at the same time. listeni! ng to your music is always an experience of its own. when you are within the walls of your studio, you are right within your quintessential element. nothing could stop you. you are always following the path of your own intuitions. Dear Klaus, listening to your sounds, knowing you, is an honour. we are glad that you are here. -Christopher von Deylen Berlin, oct. 2012
Ultra rare 12” release from ULTERIOR, the British band that first came to fame by touring extensively (and with a lot of success!) as support act for THE SISTERS OF MERCY.
Their album ‘Wild in Wildlife’ not only received high praise and enthusiasm by the British and international press, it was also a great selling release.
This 12” was the second output by the talented act, released in 2008 on ‘Disc Error Recordings’ and is a real collector’s item. On discogs for instance, there’s only ONE copy for sale and at not less than € 99.00! None of the 3 tracks on this 12” has been included in the band’s debut album and remained exclusive to this Vinyl-only release!
The 12” comes in Black and White sleeve (printed black inside!), with black inner sleeve and runs at 33 1/3 RPM.
