KLAUS SCHULZE Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Klaus Schulze's side project, Richard Wahnfried, gave rise to its third album Megatone in 1984. It finds the German synth legend work with Michael Garvens, Axel-Glenn Muller, Ulli Schober, Michael Shrieve and Harald Katzsch across a suite of expressive and retro-future kraut rock epics. His kosmische musik sounds are embellished with big guitars and synth strings, driving drum machine sounds and intoxicating percussive that makes it a powerfully propulsive record with a richly evocative sound. The texture, arrangement and synthetics quality of it all make it a stone-cold 80s classic that is well worth revisiting whether you're new to the artist or a die-hard fan.
