One month ago I announced that the precious BIG IN JAPAN recordings (audio and video) will be also released in Europe, sooner or later. Now I can report that such a release will come already in November.
It will be a "normal" 3-disc set with two CDs and one DVD, containing the same music and video as the Japanese release, but without the thick photo book and, most important: for a normal price.

The sad side effect is, that the next release (Volume 9) in the LVE series will be not until May 2011. Remember? First, the release of LVE 9 was scheduled for September, then January, and now in May. I wonder...

Ein Titel auf den BIG IN JAPAN CDs heißt "La Joyeuse Apocalypse". Ich ließ das mal von Google übersetzen und bekam, ...allen Ernstes: "Die Homosexuell Apokalypse" (!)
Nee, nee, das war so natürlich nicht von uns gemeint. Richtig war & ist nämlich: Die fröhliche (vergnügte, freudige, lustige) Apokalypse.

...says a test. I had to give the computer one of my own English textes to analyze it. I took a longer text from a recent issue of THE KS CIRCLE. The result, see above. A second try with another text showed the same result.
I also made three tests with different German text of mine, also taken from THE KS CIRCLE. Here I got the results that I write like: 1) Ingo Schulze, 2) Hegel, and 3) Goethe. ha!

Germany's largest CD dealers gave and give a release date for LA VIE ELECTRONIQUE Vol. 9 ...which is wrong: "24 September".
I just spoke with KS who was quite astonished about the published release date for LVE 9, and promptly the label was contacted and asked. Therefore, I can inform you here & now: Amazon, JPC and the others (incl. our official Website) were and are wrong: it's not the 24th of September, but LVE 9 will be released in January next year. The label will also inform the dealers immediately, ...I was told.



The date in the official KS website can only be corrected when my webmaster is back from a short holiday. So, do not wonder if you still read there the obsoled & wrong September date.

A foreign release is to be announced for 22 September 2010:
A double CD and a DVD will be released in Japan; it contains the audio and video recordings of Klaus Schulze's two Tokyo concerts in March 2010, combined in a limited edition box. I must add: a luxurious box. With a photo book. And not cheap (15,000 Yen = 140 Euros!). More info here.
The double CD with 147 minutes of music contains 5 tracks from both concerts. The DVD contains two long tracks of 35 and 45 minutes; the longer track - with some minutes of KS playing electric guitar - is only on the DVD, not on the CDs.
I'm sure that a European release will follow; not so extravagant & not so costly. More will be announced in the official KS website, at the proper time.
PS: A better photo is in "Kommentar"

There is a Italian ristorante around the corner with the name PACINI ...which is the name of a today nearly forgotten Italian composer.
I checked about him and now I have a CD with a 1967 concert recording of his opera SAFFO, composed in 1841 when GIOVANNI PACINI was 45 years old.
At least (or: only) two of his many operas are to find easily in the catalogues of the usual mail-orders. I promise a charming discovery for those who have already everything and a pleasant listening experience for those who love Bellini, Verdi and Donizetti.
