Beyond Recall is the twenty-third album by German electronic music pioneer Klaus Schulze, released in June 1991 by Virgin Records' subsidiary label Venture Records. This is the second of seven early-1990s Klaus Schulze albums not to be reissued by Revisited Records.

Contents

The album marked the beginning of Schulze's "sample" period, in which his albums mostly made use of pre-recorded sounds, amongst of which included animal growls, screeching birds and female voices. Sampling was phased out with his 1995 album In Blue.
