With a pedigree that includes stints in the seminal German avant-garde outfits Tangerine Dream and Ash Ra Tempel, Klaus Schulze is one of the grandfathers of the electronica genre. Known for his work with synthesizers, as well as his innovative treatments of more conventional instrumentation, Schulze brings together experimental tendencies with strains of jazz, classical, and ambient music. BALLETT 4 appeared initially as the final part in the CONTEMPORARY WORKS 1 box set. The disc was released individually in 2008 in a digipack with bonus tracks and a note- and photo-filled booklet.
Tracklist
Klaus Schulze
Klaus Schulze is the living essence of electronic music, having both practically invented it in the 1970s, and embodying many of its signifiers: Teutonic, intellectual, and highly experimental. A founding member of the influential electronic group Tangerine Dream, Schulz left after one album to pursue other avenues of expression, first with Kraut-rockers Ash Ra Tempel and then as a prolific and enduring solo artist. His explorations in synthesizer rock have yielded several classic albums and have influenced the New Age and Trance genres.
