Because fans keep asking me in mails about the future of LA VIE ELECTRONIQUE, here is my general answer as the producer:
I have prepared 15 (fifteen) sets with 3 CDs each. Ten sets are already released. For the remaining sets I still wait for the okay from the label. (Below in grey)
When these 15 LVEs are out, hopefully in shorter intervals als before, I still have some unreleased tracks for which I have planned two or three... (or more - we don't know what the future will bring) ...more editions; at the moment I call those "The Rest of Klaus Schulze". (Below in green)
Of course, any & every coming release will be announced in the official KS website. And here. And in THE KS CIRCLE. At least.

Two releases per annum are planned: LA VIE ELECTRONIQUE Vol. 11 will be released in spring 2012, and later in that year Vol. 12 will follow. LVE 13 and 14 will come in 2013, and LVE 15 in early 2014. A final 5 CD set is also planned. (All info without guarantee)

Thanks for your interest.
The LVE series is the re-release of the music from my tape archive, that I have put in the nineties in multi-CD sets: Silver Edition, Historic Edition, Jubilee Edition, and The Ultimate Edition. All were limited editions and are sold out. These, as well as their re-release in the LVE series has nothing to do with the "normal" Schulze albums such as "Babel", Dresden", etc.
Before the LVE series, there was also the re-release of these "normal albums", in the years 2005 to 2008. When we started this, the Virgin albums were all still available(!) - means: no reason to RE-release them. And "Totentag" no one wanted to re-release, besides it was also available for many years and no one had bought it then; a re-release would make no sense. Anyway: these re-releases activities have meanwhile ended, also because of bankruptcy of the label.

What exactly do you mean?
Of course it's only what you call "label economics". No label can and will release albums without having the legal rights to do so, as in the case of the Virgin albums - which, in addition, were still available when the re-releases were planned and did happen.
Also, no label will re-release an album, when everyone (incl. the artist) knows that it will not sell.

Es wurde langsam etwas peinlich, unsere Ankündigung so lange zu veröffentlichen, ohne dass der Film folgte, also haben wir sie vor ein paar Wochen raus genommen und in's Archiv gepackt.
Sollte der Film irgendwann fertig sein, wird er natürlich wieder prominent auf der offiziellen KS-Website angekündigt. Oder, wenn Webmaster Lennart (wg. Urlaub o.ä.) nicht zur Verfügung steht, dann hier an dieser Stelle (und anschließend auf der KS-Website).
Danke für Dein Interesse, danieldd.

Vielleicht doch nicht? Wer weiss?
Es wäre doch toll fürs interessierte Publikum, wenn sich die Künstler auch mal zuverlässig offenbaren. Denn nur kennen das Big Picture, wir Interessierten kennen nur die medialen Kleinsthäppchen.

Dann kam er (wieso auch immer) in Verzug, hielt mich aber auf dem Laufenden. Ich sagte ihm letztlich, als er mir erneut Einzelheiten "zur Veröffentlichung für die Website" berichtete, dass wir eine Meldung zum Film besser erst "offiziell" bringen, wenn der Film tatsächlich fertig ist, wenn wir ihn womöglich schon zeigen können. Denn ich mag es auch nicht, dieses - wenn auch gut gemeinte - kleckerhafte Ankündigen, Verschieben, neues Ankündigen, etc. So hielt ich's ja auch mit der Ankündigung des neuen Albums: "The new album Shadowlands will be released ...some day!"
.
Toll fürs Publikum ist es, wenn der Künstler ein neues Werk vorlegt, das gefällt, das großartig ist und vielleicht sogar etwas neues beinhaltet. Das in der Tat wäre des Künstlers "Offenbarung".
Das ganze Drumherum oder gar das Vorab, das ist in der Tat nur eine Sache für ein paar, wie nennst Du sie: "Interessierte". Und, um genau zu sein: KS hat damit nix zu tun. Solch' Zwischenberichte machen andere, ich hier zum Beispiel, weil ich die paar "Interressierten" lange kenne. Hallo Christian! Hallo Willy! Hallo Peter! Hallo ...

1) From and to (Historic Edition CD#1)
2) Leiden mit manu (Historic Edition CD#5)
3) Landpartie (Silver Edition CD#10)
4) Cyborg Traum (Jubilee Edition CD#7)
5) Whales (Jubilee Edition CD#9)
6) Der welt lauf (Jubilee Edition CD#9)
7) Songs 1 & 2 from Jubilee Edition CD#19
8) Ludwigs traum (Jubilee Edition CD#21)
9) All songs from Jubilee Edition CD#23
10) Linzer Stahlsinfonie (Jubilee Edition CD#24) - I know that this title is on DVD, but will be better to appear on CD too
11) Get the carr, Harry (Ultimate Edition CD#42)
12) Discover Trakl (Ultimate Edition CD#47)
All this songs in my opinion had to be on LVE 1 to 11. Maybe will be part of future LVE set.
Thus, maybe you take in consideration to reprint "ION", but entire CD as shown on discography.

In English:
The contract with KS says that all titles from the Ultimate Edition will be re-released; a final set will include several CDs.

Are there any plans to re-release the first 4 volumes by the new label ? In those 4 the 3rd CD doesn't have a tray, which is annoying (and no good).

Anything else that the label is maybe plannning (or not) you should ask them. Which is actually no guarantee that it will happen, in a few years from now. If the label still exists, then.
