Klaus Schulze had drummed in the first Tangerine Dream and in Ash Ra Tempel before striking out alone, and Irrlicht (1972) is where he began. Subtitled a quadrophonic symphony, it was made almost without synthesizers: Schulze recorded an orchestra, then filtered, slowed, and processed the tapes into vast organ-like drones, conjuring cosmic music out of broken and treated sound.
Bleak, glacial, and unlike anything around it, it is one of the genuine starting points of what came to be called the Berlin School. Issued here on the Italian PDU and Kosmische Kuriere labels.
