Klaus Schulze was a German electronic music pioneer, composer and musician. He also used the alias Richard Wahnfried and was a member of the Krautrock bands Tangerine Dream, Ash Ra Tempel, and the Cosmic Jokers before launching a solo career consisting of more than 60 albums released across six decades.
Michael Shrieve is an American drummer, percussionist, and composer. He is best known as the drummer of the rock band Santana, playing on the band's first seven albums from 1969 to 1974. At age 20, Shrieve was the second youngest musician to perform at Woodstock. His drum solo during "Soul Sacrifice" in the Woodstock film has been described as "electrifying", although he considers his solo during the same piece in 1970 at Tanglewood the superior performance.
X is the tenth album by Klaus Schulze. It was originally released in 1978, and in 2005 was the fifth Schulze album reissued by Revisited Records.
Moondawn is the sixth album by Klaus Schulze. It was originally released in 1976, and in 2005 was the thirteenth Schulze album reissued by Revisited Records. Moondawn is Schulze's first album that was performed in a full Berlin School style, as well as his first to feature contributions from drummer Harald Grosskopf.
Irrlicht is the first album by Klaus Schulze. Originally released in 1972, in 2006 it was the sixteenth Schulze album reissued by Revisited Records as part of a series of Schulze album reissues. Recorded without synthesizers, Irrlicht's set of "early organ drone experiments" is "not exactly the music for which KS got famous".
Picture Music is the fourth album of electronic music by German musician Klaus Schulze. It was recorded in late 1974 and released in January 1975 on Brain Records. In 2005 this was the second Schulze album reissued by Revisited Records. This is the only Klaus Schulze solo album in which he can be heard playing a drum kit. Prior to his solo career, he was the drummer for Ash Ra Tempel; on his later albums, drummer Harald Großkopf of Wallenstein frequently contributed. Like many of his albums, this one has one long track on each side.
Audentity is the fifteenth album by Klaus Schulze. It was originally released in 1983, and in 2005 was the eleventh Schulze album reissued by Revisited Records. The reissue of Audentity is one of two instances of a Klaus Schulze reissue featuring a track order changed from that of the original release.
Body Love is the seventh album by Klaus Schulze. It was originally released in 1977, and in 2005 was the ninth Schulze album reissued by Revisited Records. It is the original soundtrack for the porno film of the same name directed by Lasse Braun.

Body Love Vol. 2 is the ninth album by Klaus Schulze. It was originally released in December 1977, and in 2007 was the twenty-eighth Schulze album reissued by Revisited Records. It consists of additions to the original soundtrack from February 1977 for the porno film of the same name directed by Lasse Braun. Although generally described with the suffix Vol.2, the album's cover is printed Body Love only and its disk label states Body Love - Additions to the Original Soundtrack. The booklet for the 2007 reissue however maintains the correct title of this album is Body Love 2, as rather than being a second volume of songs from the film, the album consists almost entirely of new compositions in a similar style. The exception is "Stardancer II", which is a remixed version of "Stardancer" from the first Body Love album.
...Live... is the twelfth album by Klaus Schulze. It was originally released in 1980, and in 2007 was the twenty-sixth Schulze album reissued by Revisited Records. The album contains recordings from concerts in Berlin in 1976, and Amsterdam and Paris in 1979. The CD version of "Sense" has been extended from the original LP and now includes a lengthy introduction which did not feature in the original release. "Dymagic" includes a vocal performance by Arthur Brown, similar to the one found on Dune, the last studio album before the tour.
