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.

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.

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?

To Mr Klaus Schulze,

Dear Sir,

We are a Music Company in Iran with a over 30 years of background in production and release of music. We hold the highest number of sold albums ever in Iran.
We would like to extend our invitation to you for a concert in Tehran. This concert would be the first of its kind in Iran with 20% of its profit going directly to UNICEF. The reason for this invitation is that we hold the highest respect for you as an artist and for your music as the first and the best of its kind if we assume there is a comparison.
As you may be aware to invite any artist to Iran we need to get government permission but before doing so would like to know if you are interested.
I am more than happy to provide you with our full resume and any information required. Please feel free to contact me at your convenience.
Kind Regards,
N.N.,
Music Division Director - Tanin Sote

Our answer today was:

Many thanks for your very kind offer.
I discussed this offer with Klaus Schulze, and we both agreed:
Thank you very much, but there will be no KS concert in Tehran or in Iran.

Best regards,
Klaus D. Mueller
Berlin

Beim "2001"-Versand sind die aufregenden Klaus Schulze-Alben unter Entspannung eingeordnet.

Ich war überrascht, im neuen Katalog des Buch- und CD/DVD-Versenders "2001" eine ganze Seite, sogar mit Foto, über KS zu sehen (das erste Mal dort!). Diverse Schulze-Rerelease-Alben der untergegangenen Firma "Revisited Records" werden angeboten. Der 2001-Versand war früher meist für besonders preiswerte Angebote bekannt und beliebt, also Reste & Ramsch, und das exklusiv. Und Amazon ist ebenfalls der günstigste Anbieter, unter den "normalen" Versendern.
Vergleichen wir also mal die vierzehn aktuellen KS-Angebote von "2001" mit den gleichen Angeboten bei "www.amazon.de" (Preise von heute):
Der erste Preis ist von 2001, der zweite von Amazon:
BLACKDANCE = 12,99 / 12,98
BODY LOVE 2 = 12,99 / 16,99
IRRLICHT = 12,99 / 14,16
KONTINUUM = 12,99 / 13,93
MOONDAWN = 12,99 / 14,03
LIVE (Doppel CD) = 19,99 / 19,99
MOONLAKE = 12,99 / 15,99
PICTURE MUSIC = 12,99 / 15,99
TIMEWIND (Doppel CD) = 19,99 / 16,64
VIRTUAL OUTBACK = 12,99 / 19,99
LA VIE ELECTRONIQUE (1 bis 4) je: 19,99 / 15,98 (bei JPC je: 12,99! Mal seh'n wann Amazon nachzieht)
.
Dann wird bei 2001 auch noch die DVD "Dziekuje Bardzo" angeboten, für 9,99. Bei Amazon kostet sie 8,97.
.
Übrigens: Die bei Amazon offerierte MOONDAWN ist angeblich: "[CD + DVD]", was Quatsch ist; zu Moondawn gab's nie und gibt's auch hier natürlich keine DVD. Mal seh'n, ob und wann sie das korrigieren.

Der Film HACKER wird in der kommenden Woche in Deutschland gestartet. Musik: Klaus Schulze.
