Klaus Schulze
is one of the most legendary e-musicians of all time. He is also one of the best and most original.
Moondawn
is one of the true classics of the genre. For many serious listeners, this was the first and/or most important
electronic
music purchase. There is good reason for such sentiment -- this is a great album. It is definitely hardcore Berlin school
electronica
and much more. Like his contemporaries,
Schulze
added some extra flair to his style. This album has loads of
ambient
atmospheres accompanying the deep sequences. While the original album is an analog creation, it still holds its own with new millennium digitalia and is uniquely old school. This album bears comparisons only to
's peers of its era:
Jean Michel Jarre
,
Tangerine Dream
Edgar Froese
T.O.N.T.O.'s Expanding Head Band
, and
Mother Mallard's Portable Masterpiece Company
