A serious musician and composer
Schulze's work is often lumped in with the electronic trance offerings which pile up every month from infinitely less talented individuals, but to me he is much more than that. I love his music. I find it energizing, stimulating, exciting, creative, unsettling -- the very opposite of so much synthesizer music from the past and the present. He deserves to be taken a lot more seriously, though he himself often seems to be content to be defined as producer of dance, chill-out and trance tracks for gilded youth. Yet the ghost of J.S. Bach can be seen dancing through these luminous passages. Anyway, that apart, I only ever recommend music that I deeply enjoy and that I think others will enjoy, and "In Blue" is definitely a source of pleasure! Among my other favourites are the thrilling 2-part space fantasy "Trancefer" and the beautiful new album, "Moonlake." Highly recommended to everybody who loves exciting music.
