Gatefold sleeve.
By 1983 Klaus Schulze had sworn off live albums, then broke his own rule for this one. Dziękuję Poland, "thank you, Poland," captures his tour of the country that July, played as a duo with the keyboardist Rainer Bloss across a wall of Fairlight, PPG, and Moog. Recorded digitally before fervent Polish audiences in the tense months of the Solidarity era, it carries an atmosphere the studio records lack; the pieces, each named for the city it was played in, stretch and improvise where the albums tend to architect.
Schulze wrote in the sleeve note that the warmth of the crowds made the record unavoidable. Released on his own Innovative Communication label.
