Miditerranean Pads

Originally released in 1990, Miditerranean Pads commands attention and consumes the senses immediately with it’s sampled vocals and carefully orchestrated bass lines. This release is heavier on the percussive side, as it becomes obvious Schulze took cues from his former collaborator, drummer Michael Shrieve. The listener is asked to take an active part on this record; don't just pop the disc in while washing dishes and expect to be magically transported! It is as interactive as it is conducive to one's individual journey. If you've found some of Schulze 's earlier work too abstract, this title will appeal to you!

Klaus Schulze first attracted attention as a member of the German progressive rock band, Tangerine Dream. Following the release of their debut LP, Electronic Meditation, he departed for a solo career. Klaus' recorded work typically features extended pieces sometimes filling an entire album built around computer-generated synthesizers and other specially programmed electronic effects. Klaus Schulze remains a cult figure in the United States, where the bulk of his prolific output has until now been available only through the import bins. He is widely considered an avant-garde mainstay as well as a founding father of both the new-age space music and electronica genres.
