Album Notes & Community Reviews

Notably featuring an operatic vocal performance by Ernst Fuchs and utilizing acoustic 12-string guitars alongside synthesizers, Klaus Schulze's third solo album is a uniquely organic electronic masterwork. 'Blackdance' is a profoundly hypnotic, intensely repetitive exploration of progressive electronics, forging a wonderfully mysterious, deeply meditative, and highly surreal space-ambient journey.
