X

Klaus Schulze's tenth album, 'X', is a monumental work of the Berlin School structured as six musical biographies of influential intellectuals like Friedrich Nietzsche and Frank Herbert. The album merges expansive synthesizer arrangements and sequenced rhythms with organic instrumentation, notably integrating a looped string orchestra and Wolfgang Tiepold's cello. Percussion from Harald Grosskopf underpins several tracks, adding a dynamic, rock-oriented dimension to the otherwise classically-influenced electronic compositions.
