Gerade wiedergefunden: eine sieben Jahre alte Meldung aus 'nem Pop&Rock-Magazin:

Einerseits: Danke.
Andererseits: "Das ist gemein, so gemein, hundsgemein" (F.J.)

We have them on stock: the Vinyl and both versions of the CD are in our warehouse. To be honest: the CDs in digipacks are even sold out, you were right about the quantities. So we should order some more from the factory. ... You will see, the releases look fantastic. ... In this week we send you your copies.
All the best, Olga ( ...see small photo )

The dealers in Germany, Italy, England, etc. should have them very soon. If they care. And order.

PS am 18. März: Nun ist sie wirklich erhältlich, jedenfalls bei jpc. Amazon munkelt nur was von "wird am 5. April erscheinen" (ooops! mein Geburtstag) -- aber zumindest hat Amazon nun endlich das, nein: die Cover drin!

In the March issue of the French TRAX magazine (Le Magazine des Musiques Electroniques) are two articles about KS: "L'homme machine" et "Close to Klaus". The latter is from our French friend and film maker James L. Frachon and he writes about his collaboration with Klaus, from his first mail to me in 2005, via his filming for Schulze's concert DVDs, until his recent animated KS film.

"Das neue Album "Shadowlands" von KLAUS SCHULZE ist soeben auf einem großartigen Platz #64 in die offiz. deutschen Media-Control-Charts eingestiegen!!!" ...schreibt uns heute die Plattenfirma.

"Younger people do know... that fashionable clothes, McDonald's, and joints are not for free. But they don't want to understand that they should pay for music, for newspapers and even for books. Their opinion will be supported by many media experts and journalists, who, at the same time, don't want to waive their rights on their own salary and pension." (H.M. Enzensberger, 2008, freely translated by me).

"Jüngeren Generationen ist zwar bekannt, dass es Klamotten, Hamburger und Joints normalerweise nicht gratis gibt; sie sehen aber nicht ein, warum sie für Musik, für Zeitungen oder gar für Bücher zahlen sollen. (Darin werden sie von vielen Medienwissenschaftlern und Journalisten bestärkt, die allerdings nur ungern auf ihre Gehälter und Pensionen verzichten würden.)" Hans Magnus Enzensberger, 2008

The Russians were busy to celebrate Xmas (for two weeks), then there was the MIDEM in the South of France, ...but "now we are beginning to prepare one of our best releases" as they have told me, ....two weeks ago.
And whoopee: The release of "The Schulze-Schickert Session 1975" is announced for the 4th of March. Available from the dealer of your trust (and not just in Russia).

The MIRUMIR label is an LP label and the main release is the LP (they love vinyl). But of course they also do CDs. In addition the do a limited edition of only 300 "digipack" CDs, all numbered from 1/300 to 300/300 (...because there are people who buy these things?! ...even if it contains the same music as not "normal" CD).
Catalogue numbers are: MIR 100704 LP, and MIR 100704 CD.
