Ich hab ja keinen Fernseher und deshalb sah ich erst heute & zufällig, dass der Film aus dem Jahr 2010, "HACKER", mit der Original-Musik von KLAUS SCHULZE, heute im Sender 3sat versendet wird.
.
PS: Kann einer die 80 Minuten für mich aufnehmen?
PPS: Hier ist der Film bereits vollständig im Netz, jedenfalls eine Woche (?) lang.
PPPS: Jetzt, am 19.12. ist er weg.

»Viele Alben von Klaus Schulze sind gestrichen? Es handelt sich um Titel von SPV; stimmt es, dass die vergriffen sind? Denn Großhändler teilen ihren Kunden nur mit: "Deleted". «
...schrieb mir ein Händler und bat mich um Bestätigung.
Meine Antwort:
Hallo und danke für die Information.
Wenn ein Grosshändler mitteilt, dass er einige CDs nicht mehr anbietet, weil sie "deleted" sind, dann wird das wohl stimmen (wieso sollte er lügen? - er will ja schließlich verkaufen :-)
Die erwähnte Firma "SPV" ist bereits im Jahr 2009 in Konkurs gegangen ("Insolvenz angemeldet" heißt das heute) und wir erhalten seitdem auch keine Lizenzen mehr. Nun sind verbliebene Reste des SPV-Lagers offenbar ausverkauft.
Best regards / Schoene Gruesse ...

Lieber Klaus,
durch ein Geschenk bin ich zu meiner zweiten Box von a Vie Electronique 9 gekommen (die erste hatte ich mir selbst gekauft). Weil ich natürlich keine zwei nötig habe, möchte ich eine davon 'loswerden'.
Ich würde die Box gerne verschenken (ja, komplett kostenlos, weil man von Dir ja auch manchmal ein schönes Geschenk erhält, wie die P.G. Wodehouse Biografie ;-).
Vielleicht könntest Du im KS Circle (für die Dezember-Ausgabe ist es wohl zu spät) oder in Deinem Blog darauf aufmerksam machen und falls sich jemand meldet, mir den Kontakt weiterleiten.
Würde mich freuen, wenn die Box in gute Hände kommt.
Liebe Grüße, Ingo

Interessenten senden bitte eine Mail an mich, ich leite das dann flugs weiter an Ingo ...und lösche anschließend diesen Eintrag hier.

The French filmmaker James L. Frachon who did most of the films for the recent Klaus Schulze DVDs has just finished the filming of a short film on Klaus. It will be a mixture between live action and animation, a tribute to Klaus' work. This short film will last about 8 min and we hope to see it by October/November 2012.
In the meantime, here are two short teasers for you to enjoy:

We will report.

Nice fans or other unknown people send us things. Things that we never ever have asked for. Just today I received a huge parcel from Ohio (postage alone: 45.50 US$), gladly I was not asked to pay taxes for this heavy packet, because then I would have immediately refused to receive & pay for it.
During the last 35 years we receive by post always the same home-made things: writings (poems or prose) incl. whole books, drawings, and of course music on tapes (previously) or CDs or CD-Rs (now), or other little handcrafts. In 99% made & sent by amateurs.
In the present case it was a handful of b/w drawings and an 18 (! eighteen) pages letter in small English handwriting. Again, no e-mail was sent before, with the question: Can I send you something? (Answer is always & anyway: Thanks, but please: don't do! )

Mostly they are asking the "famous" Klaus Schulze - sometimes me - for things that they want from us: Schulze (or "Shultz") should listen to their home-made music, should read their books or poems, should make a record deal with them, should look at their drawings, should make for them contacts with the Berlin(!) music scene and to a label, or they want Klaus' address for a personal visit, etc. ... (It could be that some of such messages, letters and mails are actually just a joke or parody. One of such funny fake begging letters I still remember: ...its clever originator is now my beloved wife, Julia.)

And then, I have to write nicely back, telling them in short the factual truth that KS cannot do anything for them and that they please should not send anything ... or in the case they ask before if they can send and what's the address, I write just short witty things like this: "Many thanks for your interest in Klaus Schulze. But, please, do not send a book. Klaus Schulze has enough books :-) Best regards, kdm".
KS himself is not much curious about & interested in these doodads.

There are rare cases that such an unasked sending was accepted by me. I do remember two. One is a (meanwhile professional and somewhat successful) musician, and the other case is a cartoonist. Probably there were some more in the course of time, but I don't remember at the moment.

What I try to say with this long sermon, is: Please do not send us things that we did not ask you for, and just because "KS" is a not unknown name in music. It saves you postage and disappointment. Because we are not interested in it and we cannot do something for you. Also, it's not our profession to give or write fair comments or reviews about your artistic or other doings.

On the 4th of August Klaus Schulze will (not very vehemently) celebrate another of his already many birthdays...

Because fans keep asking me in mails about the future of LA VIE ELECTRONIQUE, here is my general answer as the producer:
I have prepared 15 (fifteen) sets with 3 CDs each. Ten sets are already released. For the remaining sets I still wait for the okay from the label. (Below in grey)
When these 15 LVEs are out, hopefully in shorter intervals als before, I still have some unreleased tracks for which I have planned two or three... (or more - we don't know what the future will bring) ...more editions; at the moment I call those "The Rest of Klaus Schulze". (Below in green)
Of course, any & every coming release will be announced in the official KS website. And here. And in THE KS CIRCLE. At least.
.
(17 June 2014: this large pic with a lot of single covers of the LVEs is lost, due to a server's harddisc crash in June 2014. Sorry, but I cannot restore it)

Nicht vergessen: nächste Woche soll LA VIE ELECTRONIQUE 10 endlich erscheinen. Amazon (.de) kündigt sogar schon vage "LVE 11" an, natürlich ohne nähere Einzelheiten, denn die kenn' bisher nur ich, ha!

As always, and as always without any incomprehensible reason, the American release will be later. An American friend told me - and American Amazon supports it - the release is announced there for the 26th of July.
