A sample of some obscure – and maybe not obscure – tunes from my strange and off-the-wall collection.

Today’s double selection: Klaus Schulze – “Euro Caravan” 2007

Off Klaus Schulze’ 36th album, “Kontinuum“

Klaus Schulze (1947 – 2022) was one of the early German electronic music composers, having performed with Tangerine Dream, Ash Ra Tempel, and Cosmic Jokers – all of which are among my favorites. He ended up releasing more than 60 LPs, 90 if including compilations. He died of kidney disease just before his final album was released.

Euro Caravan is a 19 minute cut. It begins low and builds. I’ve often had it playing in the background without realizing it until it reaches my consciousness as it builds. It is not a loud piece but it builds over the entire time. Might be worth turning the volume up; it’s quiet at the beginning but will not “roar” at you as it plays.
