In a few days you can see in the official KS website some colourful photos made before and during KS' recent concerts in Tokyo.
Here is already one pic of Klaus visiting the Tokyo Wax Museum, on the day before the first concert. The real KS is the taller guy in the red jacket (a present from me). Beside him is a wax "KS".
The original pic is lost, here is a pic of "just" the wax figure, as a Japanese fan had imagined a young KS.

Today I got a parcel in my post: An unknown person has sent to "Klaus Schulze" c/o my address the book "Empire of Signs" by Roland Barthes. There is no name or address of the sender given, and no letter or reference was included. Also I got no e-mail or other notice that would explain this unwanted "present".
Would the unknown sender get up please, and explain what it's all about? Neither KS nor I have an interest in it, nor did we order such a book.

This is a sensational discovery: one of the survived early films of the famous Skladanowsky Brothers (uncles of the Warner & the Marx Broth.?). This short film is still a bit unsteady and clumsy, but note the premature idea of repetition à la Steve Reich (who probably has stolen this idea from the Skladanowsky Broth. - who really knows?). And - hunderttausend heulende und jaulende Höllenhunde! - what about the very early use of a Tintin image? The world is full of mysteries.

There is a connection between the French duo LES RITA MITSOUKO (active from 1980 - 2008) and KLAUS SCHULZE (active since 1968 - still).
I don’t mean the fact that LES RITA MITSOUKO’s manager was our friend Assaad Debs who also did the French concerts of KS (e. g. the very first in 1973 & the sensational Parisian GO concert & many KS solo concerts up to the last (with guest singer Lisa Gerrard) in September 2009). Assaad also managed LES RITA MITSOUKO as long as it existed; I met him and the group when they had a concert in Berlin, some years ago. After the after-show dinner in a Kreuzberg restaurant, in the middle of the night, I showed them this area of Berlin because I lived there for my first 25 years, ...but their interest was of course little.

And now the reason for this entry here, a fact that escaped my attention during the last 33 years:
Catherine Ringer, the female half of this French duo LES RITA MITSOUKO, was an actress in the seventies and... she was playing an important part in the movie BODY LOVE, the famous porno by Lasse Braun ...and Klaus Schulze did the not less famous soundtrack for this 1977 flick.
