I'm from Monterrey Mexico and I agree with you. Totally. "relaxed perpetual alertness", I don't have that English, but I understand. Let's enjoy the artist, his music and memory!

Ooh vous êtes un peu vieux mais vous avez un goût spirituel et sportif plus ou moins ou presque disons : développé et en devenir

Moi, également, depuis les années 1975, j'écoute KS et toujours fan !!!

OUI, toutefois, je reste accroché à la période Timewind, Mirage, Moondawn et ses environs, bien meilleure.

Contrairement à Tangerine Dream, KS a toujours gardé sa fibre cosmique dans ses compositions.

You´re right - but if you think KS made a lot of recordings in high quality electronic music: Check out Pete Namlook!!!

WHO?????

" All hi quality"..... yeah right..... (he doesn't know the meaning of EDIT nor ARRANGE.... or CUT !)

Curt Rayvis Hey - PETE NAMLOOK! He is the second guy beside KS from „Dark side of the Moog“! But I‘m sure - after a year inbetween now you already checked this genius, right?

@@diderichlangmannen Pete Namlook is insane, I think at the same level as KS. I discovered him recently too, especially From Within 3CD series.

Ainoko NZ Klaus, in my opinion, is in another level....

JMJ c'est de la soupe, KS c'est du caviar !

Klaus is so far from his mates. Most same level ones to him are manuel gottching &Edgar forese..no one like him..he is like an universe.. Moon lake got amazing live track Mephisto!!!

From the 1990s onwards and especially the 2000s TD were sometimes quite poor I think. Too many live albums and rehashing of old music. Plus the saxophone, percussion and guitar got tiresome in my opinion. Klaus tried to different things. Moonlake and Kontinuum were a great success I think.

@@RichardW001 Kontinuum is phenomenal!

@@RichardW001 Kontinuum is my music of choice while I work.

@@RichardW001 Yes in the 2000's I stopped following what they did. To me they had lost everything that I liked about them and replaced it with something completely alien to me. Like many TD fans I have my favourite times. Cyclone was the first album that grabbed me and then Thief, Exit, White Eagle, and after that it started going downhill with (for my sensibilities at the time!) Hyperborea and Poland. So I started going back and exploring their earlier stuff and I found Stratosfear, Tangram, FM, Encore and Ricochet and loved all of them. This was vinyl from the local lending library or cassette tape...yeah that was.. long ago. Thank so much Richard W. Because of you I found Mark Shreeve again and Klaus too!

In the tiny group of TD + Schulze fans I know, there seems to be a general agreement, that TD lost their innovative touch/relevance, when Chris Franke and Johannes Schmölling left the group in circa 1987. Personally I regard 'Rubycon', 'Stratosfear' and 'Tangram' as their best works (I also have a soft spot for 'Green Desert' though). A harsh verdict on TD's output since 1990 would be that 'they subscribed to Boring Presets Inc. and repeated themselves endlessly with unimaginative 'spheric' remixes of their old works'. Schulze has somehow managed to output interesting and 'fresh sounding' albums throughout the majority of his career. I could do without some of his 'opera trance'-like works as well as the 'Contemporary Works' collection. 1984-1994 wasn't a great period for him (but En=Trance, Babel and Miditerranean Pads are still excellent albums). But the late 90s marked a quite impressive comeback for him. Although I do like his concert releases with Lisa Gerrard, I think 'Moonlake' is his only interesting solo album from the 2000s. I adore Schulze's truly groundbreaking works from the 70s and early 80s as well as his late 90s period. Ultimate Edition (50 CD set from 2000 covering unreleased stuff from 1970-1999) is one of the best 'records' I've ever bought. EDIT: Moments after I wrote this comment, I realise that Klaus passed away yesterday...

spotify is for mainstream noobs

I haven't been able to find anything about that online, can you link me to where I might find it?

Mirage, Moondawn, Timewind, X, Body Love

It's funny that the same thing happened to me! and I'm also 56 years old!👍

Adding on to Richard W's list: Cyborg, Trancefer, Audentity, his self-titled 1980 Live album.
