Re-issue in a jewel case box with previously unreleased photos and liner notes - Klaus Schulze revolutionized electronic music and is one of the legends of German electronic music - Klaus Schulze has sold more than 500,000 records worldwide!. Re-issue of the successful and partly out-of-print "La Vie Electronique" series by Klaus Schulze.

"Re: People I Know" is the first of the two long pieces that Klaus played during his Dusseldorf concert on the 30th of September 1977. It's similar to the highly valued piece that KS played around the same time in Brussels' St. Michaels cathedral.

"Avec Arthur": During the lengthy 1979 tour, Klaus played a long solo piece that filled the first half of the concerts as usual. "Crazy Nietzsche" is loosely based on Klaus' well-known "Friedrich Nietzsche" title from the "X" recording session.

"The Future": From ca. 1978. A grave, full-sounding masterpiece. The music reminds of "Dune" but it is without the usual cello sound of this classic album. Hear Klaus on vocoder at the very end: "Just Imagine. As KS remembered, the music of "My Virtual Principles" with its abstract but beautiful sounds was an alternative attempt on the "Barracuda" film soundtrack which wasn't used then. Besides his usual electronics, the percussion instruments are also played by KS. Part of Klaus' drumming is from a 1970 (!) tape, treated with an "Analogue Harmonizer"; his organ playing is from a 1972 tape.
