fans Klaus Schulze are entitled to prefer to CYBORG BLACKDANCE . For my part, although I consider historically CYBORG as an essential marker of electronic music, I can not help to prefer BLACKDANCE . This is not a question of artistic quality, but rather surround sound.

It is evident from the first title Waves of exchange, the sonic palette has expanded from a 12-string acoustic guitar especially a drum whose use by Schulze is a model of invention and originality that few artists will operate with him after such an art. The African drums that come in during the second part of Waves of exchange also provide a key offset that takes the listener into a world of strangeness very attractive.

When I listen to this title and the other two of this excellent album, I can not think of anything concrete. No image just projecting myself my inner film. My listening focuses on the textures, properly incredible. The second title, Some velvet phasing , is a stunning example. This is an improvisation which Schulze the secret. We can not say that this song is melodically a wild invention, yet, although it is nonsensical, it fascinates from beginning to end. Schulze almost more interested in the texture of sound that the combination of notes together. On Some velvet phasing , he invented a sound material alive. The song title is there to indicate. The synths are molded in a velvety fabric that twists, bends and coils in on itself. The effect is particularly striking in the headset: the sound turns on itself like a leaf that would cornea.

BLACKDANCE however keeps the best for last. The third title Voices of sin is unquestionably be my favorite of the entire discography Schulze. It begins, it is a great idea, a bass voice that comes from a recording of Verdi. As far as the treatment hallucinating Schulze subjected to a symphony orchestra on Irrlicht remains today a surprising boldness, as the bass voice in isolation, without any electronic effect, only a vocal line of opera, disrupts an impressive landmarks of the listener. Then the synths are superimposed on the solo voice by drawing behind a carpet, as in Some velvet phasing , wiggles and winds, creating a striking effect. The background sound passes imperceptibly into the foreground as and when the bass fades. Shortly after, a sequence syncopated synthetic, producing a metallic sound strange to not be interrupted s'enclanche or lower pace for well over two thirds of the song. When finally added to all the notes of a piano tune, the sound building and deploying a product particularly claustrophobic atmosphere. Really great song!

For the first time in my eyes, Klaus Schulze creates music that will never be copied and will be no rival in his way. If CYBORG have inspired OXYGEN of the JMJarre, however BLACKDANCE remain an album like no other, a fantastic experience where the listener gets lost deep in a strange dimension. I agree with Steve Wilson, Porcupine Tree leader and Blackfield : BLACKDANCE musical work is the most unusual I know.
