Yes, it is planned to release a CD and a DVD from last March's Klaus Schulze concerts in Tokyo. As soon as a release date etc. is settled, we will report about it at the right place, which is, you guessed it already: the Official Klaus Schulze Website.

Exzellenter Koch, Autor, Musiker, manchmal Schauspieler und ein offensichtlich ganz lustiger Bursche ist: Vincent Klink; der schreibt zwar nicht mehr in der ZEIT, aber weiterhin sporadisch in seinem selbst gepfriemelten Blog: Wielandshoehe. Dort - links - auf "Tagebuch" klicken, alles andere flutscht dann meist von selbst.

Max Raabe: Mit den Handys, da habe ich den Anschluss verpasst. Irgendwann war man dann ein bedauerlicher Tropf. Inzwischen habe ich immer noch kein Mobiltelefon. Und heute beneidet mich jeder.
Interview, 14.02.2010, "Der Westen". Anlass: sein treffliches Solo-Albums "Übers Meer".

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.
