The release of LA VIE ELECTRONIQUE 10 is announced for late June 2011. The three discs contain recordings from the years 1985 to '92, from concerts, as well as studio recordings and two soundtracks. And a ten-minute BONUS track not released before, from a concert encore in Aachen, 1985. And a five-minute interview from the Spain tour 1991 as additional bonus. The other tracks were formerly released on "Jubilee Edition", one track on "Historic Edition". The full entry in the official KS website's discography will follow soon.

German Amazon offers already the mp3 download, but: who will really neglect the set's beautiful packaging (by Thomas Ewerhard) with the many topical photos and the stories about all the tracks' origins, as well as Lars Fischer's written contribution "From the Northern Lights of Scandinavia to the Barcelona Sun" in English ...und Deutsch.

Das Motto in Robert Gernhardts neuem/posthumen Buch lautet:

Bob Dylan hat in ein paar Tagen wieder mal Geburtstag und das ehemalige Nachrichtenmagazin schreibt dazu einen denkwürdigen ersten Satz:
"Geboren wurde er als Robert Allen Zimmerman - doch das war ihm egal."

Can anyone tell me something about this photo? Of course it shows Edgar Froese on the left. But: Are the two others indeed Conny Schnitzler and KS? The nose and the height of the supposed 'KS' at the right do not really fit to the real Klaus Schulze, I would say. And the man in the back could be anyone, ...or?
It is said that the pic was printed in the July/August 1970 edition of German SOUNDS magazine.And yes, "Electronic Meditation" was released just one month earlier.
Anyone knows something? ...has seen the pic before?

Eine wunderbare musikalische Entdeckung, ich kannte vorher nicht mal den Namen: Jan Disma ZELENKA (1679-1745). Es gilt als sogenannter "Kleinmeister". Aber wer weiß, wenn die Zeitläufte ein wenig anders gewesen wären, wäre womöglich nicht Bach sondern Zelenka heute der Berühmtere? "...zu ihren Lebzeiten mag mancher Liebhaber, ja, sogar Kenner den einen geradeso gern gespielt oder gehört haben wie den anderen. Erst die Zeit hat entschieden. Ob sie dabei immer völlig gerecht verfuhr?..." (Kurt Pahlen, "Größe in der Kunst")
