Album Notes & Community Reviews

Signaling a major turning point in his career, Klaus Schulze embraced a massive modular 'Big Moog' synthesizer and recruited drummer Harald Grosskopf for this pulsating masterpiece. 'Moondawn' is a remarkably rhythmic, deeply hypnotic pinnacle of the Berlin School, blending highly futuristic, heavily psychedelic sequencing with profoundly nocturnal space-ambient atmospheres.
