- Profound
While "Bayreuth Return" conquers your mind with its mesmerizing, pulsing, gamelan-like ostinatos that agitate beneath the imperative soundings of some monstrous and inconsolable uber-being, it is "Wahnfried 1883" that conquers your emotions.

Surfacing from the unimaginable abyss of some potent sonic monolith, the plaintive and intensely eerie resonances of this Goliath's aria all but obliterate one's emotional defenses, insisting--imploring--total surrender.

- A superb piece of electronica and a personal favorite
Among the scores of albums released by Klaus Schulze during the 1970s, this 1975 recording (which was dedicated to Richard Wagner) is a personal favorite of mine and may very well be his finest recorded performance.

Like a lot of electronica released during the mid-1970s, the music is brooding, contemplative, and is composed entirely on analog synthesizers (some recordings of synthesizer-based music would be augmented with electric guitar and woodwind/percussion instruments). I think it is worth noting that manipulating an analog synthesizer to generate sounds beyond the factory pre-sets took a great deal of skill, i.e. the ability to not only physically manipulate the instrument, but to translate the physical aspects of wave-form (e.g amplitude, frequency, shape etc) into something ...

- Klaus Schulze - 'Timewind' (Caroline) 4 1/2 stars
I've never been all that much of a Klaus Schulze fan,but at the recommendation of a friend,I decided to go ahead and check out this disc.Originally released in 1975,'Timewind' was Schulze's fifth solo record.Great electronic masterpiece here.Two lengthy cuts to fully experience."Bayreuth Return"(30:21)is an extended soundscape with an electronic over haul,very good."Wahnfried 1983"(28:29)is a potent track where synthesizer is met with extremely precice keyboard playing.Keep in mind that this Berlin born composer had been a past member of Ash Ra Tempel and Tangerine Dream.Believe he reunited with Ash Ra Tempel a few years ago.How cool is that?A must-have.

- So utterly beautiful.
Two compositions drew me into a life of music: Jarre's "Equinoxe 2" and Schulze's "Wahnfried 1883". Here I am 20 years later and both still affect me deeply.

While I enjoy "Bayreuth Return", there is something supremely melancholic about "Wahnfried 1883". The timbral effect of so much sound piped into such slow moving harmonic progressions forces the listener to hang on every nuance of the melody, and its significance.

You will most certainly appreciate the beauty and artistry of this absolute masterpiece.

- Perhaps Schulze's best album
In my opinion, Timewind is perhaps the best album Schulze had ever done. Recorded and released in 1975, this guy was trying to rival Todd Rundgren with how much music he can cram on to one side of a vinyl LP. Both cuts on Timewind clock at just slightly under 30 minutes (turned out Rundgren won in the end with his album Initiation, where side two crammed over 35 minutes). "Bayreuth Returns" is basically a minimalist experiment. Keeping a steady synth pattern, he includes lots of nice synth solos on top of it. It pretty much sticks the same thing throughout. "Wahnfried 1883" is a totally mindblowing piece that consists of lengthy drones but gets very dramatic. Certainly it might not be as easy to get in to as the Tangerine Dream albums of the time (like Rubycon or Richochet), but this is truly deserving ... Read More
