Sad news:
The concert on 9th of June has to be cancelled because of medical reasons. The state of health will not improve in the foreseeable future. Klaus Schulze is in constant medical treatment.
... Which is, more or less, the translation from the (German written) medical certificate.

Polish Circle member Greg just informed me that the concert on 9th of June 2016 is now SOLD OUT. The Philharmonic Hall's website says: "Liczba wolnych miejsc: 0", means: "Quantity of free places: 0".

By the way: ...there is still no contract signed (I have sent them a copy, more than six months ago :-)

Among today's post was this "letter".

Sadly, I can neither decipher your full name ...ERETON, nor your full address somewhere in YORKS on the back of this little piece of paper.
Please, Steve, give me your full name and your address in a way I can read it; make it here in a comment, or with e-mail, or else. Otherwise I cannot address correctly the envelopes with the monthly "The KS Circle" - and the free CD-R - for you.
PS: You seem to be a new member because there is one "Steve" among the known members from the UK, but his surname is very different.

...if I use a long track from a historic 1975 Paris concert recording at Maison de la Mutualité, or a title in similar length recorded at the concert 1983 in Berlin's Passionskirche ...
...for this year's free bonus CD-R that will come with the renewal of the membership in "The KS Circle", and if the member asks for it especially. As in former years, this special CD will be a strictly limited edition and only for non-commercial use on phonographs in homes and not for sale, ...as I described the previous gift, whimsically.

Eine Mail von heute:

Hallo Klaus,
gestern Abend im TV: Titel, Thesen, Temperamente mit Max Moor und einem Bericht über Jean Michel Jarre. Um ehrlich zu sein: dieser Beitrag war ein Hohn und ein einziges Ärgernis. Jarre 1976 DER Pionier auf dem Gebiet der elektronischen Musik mit bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch nie gehörten Sounds, wegweisend, etc. etc. Mal wieder ein exzellentes Beispiel für eine unterirdische Recherche und Redaktionsarbeit! KS und TD werden nicht mit einem einzigen Wort erwähnt. Lediglich MOBY, der im Beitrag interviewt wird, erwähnt noch "einige andere Pioniere"...

Es ist unglaublich. Ich war kurz davor, der Redaktion eine Mail zu schreiben.

Viele Grüße, Willy

Here's another "unreleased" pic of KS, less red-hot but more private: during a few days of rare holidays in 1977 at a windy French Atlantic coast.

I suppose that this 'demonic' pic of KS was not shown before:

No news from KS, because in his studio it's also sizzling hot ...these days.
