Klaus Schulze is a German electronic music pioneer, composer and musician. He also used the alias Richard Wahnfried and was briefly 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 five decades.
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.
Timewind is the fifth album by Klaus Schulze. It was originally released in 1975, and in 2006 was the twenty-second Schulze album reissued by Revisited Records. It is Schulze's first solo album to use a sequencer.
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.
Trancefer is the fourteenth album by Klaus Schulze. It was originally released in 1981, and in 2006 was the twenty-third Schulze album reissued by Revisited Records. With the original total running time of 37 minutes and 23 seconds, it was the shortest album in Schulze's canon until the 2006 reissue doubled its running time.
Cyborg is the second album by Klaus Schulze. It was originally released in 1973, and in 2006 was the nineteenth Schulze album reissued by Revisited Records.
Blackdance is the third album by Klaus Schulze. It was originally released in 1974, and in 2007 was the twenty-fifth Schulze album reissued by Revisited Records. For the first time Schulze uses "real" synthesizers and a singer. "Voices of Syn" features Ernst Walter Siemon on vocals. Due to packaging and print errors on later releases, Blackdance was considered Schulze's fourth album for decades, until Klaus D. Müller, Schulze's biographer and publicity manager, discovered from searching through his personal diaries that Picture Music, thought to be the third album, was recorded after Blackdance. Despite this, the reissue labels Blackdance as Schulze's fourth album.
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 examples of a Klaus Schulze reissue that changes the original order of the tracks.
Mirage is the eighth album by Klaus Schulze. It was originally released in 1977, and in 2005, was the first Schulze album reissued by Revisited Records. A slightly different version of "Velvet Voyage" is included on the reissue. An excerpt from "In cosa crede chi non crede?", the bonus track on the reissue, was previously released on Trailer (1999), a compilation CD released to promote the release of Schulze's 50-disc CD box set The Ultimate Edition (2000). In 2017, a newly remastered 40th Anniversary Edition was released.
Dig It is the thirteenth album by Klaus Schulze. It was originally released in 1980, and in 2005 was the sixth Schulze album reissued by Revisited Records. It is Schulze's first fully digital recording. The 2005 reissue includes a bonus DVD with the video recording of the 1980 performance at Ars Electronica, which was previously released as audio on The Ultimate Edition (2000).
Inter*Face is the eighteenth album by Klaus Schulze. It was originally released in 1985, and in 2006 was the twentieth Schulze album reissued by Revisited Records. The two bonus tracks on the reissue were both previously released on Schulze's 25-disc CD box set Jubilee Edition (1997), which was later included on the 50-disc CD box set The Ultimate Edition (2000). However, a shorter version of "Nichtarische Arie" was included.

The Dresden Performance is the twenty-second album by Klaus Schulze. It was originally released in 1990. This is the first of seven early-1990s Klaus Schulze albums not reissued by Revisited Records. Although this album is labeled as "live", parts 3, 4 and 5 are studio tracks.
Le Moulin de Daudet is the twenty-seventh album by Klaus Schulze. It was originally released in 1994, and in 2005 was the fourth Schulze album reissued by Revisited Records. Le Moulin de Daudet was released after Schulze's Silver Edition 10-disc CD box set, technically making this album his thirty-seventh. It is the soundtrack to the film of the same name. The reissue bonus track is an excerpt from the previously released limited promo CD Ion (2004).
Das Wagner Desaster Live is the thirtieth album by Klaus Schulze. It was originally released in 1994, and in 2005 was the fifteenth Schulze album reissued by Revisited Records. The reissue of Das Wagner Desaster Live is one of two examples of a Klaus Schulze reissue that changes the original order of the tracks. Das Wagner Desaster Live was released after Schulze's Silver Edition 10-disc CD box set, technically making this album his fortieth.
In Blue is the thirty-first album by Klaus Schulze. It was originally released in 1995, and in 2005 was the eighth Schulze album reissued by Revisited Records. In Blue was released after Schulze's Silver Edition 10-disc CD box set, technically making this album his forty-first.
