A fantastic and informative read!, Dec 30 2009
By Sean Becker - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Klaus Schulze: Electronic Music Legend (Paperback)
Any fan of Klaus Schulze will be pleased from the beginning. Greg takes you on a tour of Klaus's instruments, then through the albums. A real treat is the interviews with musicians who have worked with Klaus over the years, and some great photographs are included. This book does not dissapoint.

Worth the money and a GREAT book, Dec 29 2009
By prjct2501 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Klaus Schulze: Electronic Music Legend (Paperback)
I bought this book as a pre-order thru a online music seller. I was very anxious to get it and I was not disappointed when I got it. There is a lot of information packed into this book. Yes, you may already know some of it but there is so much I did not know. I like reading the comments from other artist who have worked with Klaus and I also listen to. I say don't be driven away by a couple of comments putting down the book. You are not going to find another book with as much information. The only other way you might have gotten more information is if you are part of the KS Circle, but the cost of that is ridiculous especially if you live in the USA, the cost doubles because of postage. Thanks Greg for writing the book.

Informative reference, Dec 29 2009
By R. Levy - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Klaus Schulze: Electronic Music Legend (Paperback)
I purchased this book simply because there are so few reference materials in this form available about Schulze's work.I was surprised at the comprehensive exploration that the author undertook. Given the depth of this musicians catalogue -it's a tremendous effort to collate and structure this material-let alone listen to Schulze's expansive collection of works.
It's a valuable document and review of his recordings with a number of interviews (well worth reading) by his collaborators.
It's not only insightful but really serves as an appreciation of this artists work that leaves the reader wanting to explore for themselves the nuances and artistic development that has
exemplified the constant searching and refinement that Schulze has undertaken artistically over the last thirty or so years.
I felt that given the amount of time and effort the author put into this work it's a reasonable price to pay.
Great photos and it's designed simply and clearly.
All said, it's a great read and I enjoyed it very much.
Listmania!
