Wow, that's a lot of albums. I will have a look at that later.

I've seen those and been thinking about them, just it maybe too many to buy in one go.

But it is much cheaper - and there were a couple of gems that I wouldn't normally have bothered with; the 'Utrecht Sessions' for instance.

Not a topic / music genre I’m usually found listening too but radio paradise has pushed a few artists my way- would u consider these ‘electronic’

Rob Papen and Ron Boots played a live tribute to 'The Master' Klaus Schulze recently.

This 20-minute track is also free to download from Bandcamp as a 24/96 hi-res WAV file.

Klaus Schulze (RIP) on his final album 'Deus Arrakis':

About ‘Deus Arrakis‘ Klaus Schulze says: „On the one hand this album was created as spontaniously as all my albums before, on the other hand it has a special history: when I produced my eleventh album ‘Dune‘ in 1979 I already knew the ‘Dune‘ triology by Frank Herbert inside out like other people knew their ‘Lord of the Rings‘. I was totally fascinated by this monumental story of the desert planet und I read the books over and over again. I asked Arthur (Brown) and Wolfgang (Tiepold) to come to my studio and started creating my own musical ‘Dune‘. And with the track ‘Frank Herbert‘ from my previous album ‘X‘ I wanted to show respect to the great author. After the following film versions -not really satisfying in my view- the ‘Dune‘ theme was not in my focus anymore and was forgotten for a long time. But suddenly - about 40 years later - I heard of plans regarding a ‘Dune‘ remake by Denis Villeneuve – which totally unexpected hit a spot with me. I started to read the books again and even rewatched the film by David Lynch. Actually, I do quite a lot of reading currently, as I now have the time for it! After a while I then also started making music again but did not really think of ‘Dune‘ anymore. Months later the phone rang and Lisa (Gerrard) connected me to her friend Hans Zimmer. He had this idea for a cooperation... exactly for that very ‘Dune‘ remake by Denis Villeneuve! We got on well from the start – just like me, Hans also is a huge fan of ‘Dune‘ – and the result indeed ended up being in the 'Dune' movie. Truly incredible how sometimes circles open up, cross and then close again in the end. However, I was caught again by the deserts of ‘Dune‘ and needed more ‘spice‘. Excitedly I returned to my studio and found a cello recording by Wolfgang Tiepold. From there I felt completely unleashed and just played and played… at the end of that second private ‘Dune‘ journey I realized: ‘Deus Arrakis‘ became another salute to Frank Herbert and to that great gift of life in general.“

From the Kubusschnitt newsletter:


Hello Kubusschnitt Followers

I've been working on a compilation with Graham Getty (of Perge) for our friend, Tony Sawford, who sadly died in December 2021. We were fortunate to receive a lot of magnificent contributions – and now you can hear them.

After a bit of work, there are two releases issued. I split them as one "track" was 60 minutes long – more on that in a minute. The first release, which is just short of 2.5 hours long, features previously unissued tracks from a number of very well-known names in the current EM world. Two tracks were previously issued on the GoldTri Vol. 2 CDs back in 1998. There is a track by Kubusschnitt that is exclusive to this release - see if you can recognise where the underpinning tracks by Ruud and Tom started their life.

The second release is a previously unissued recording of the concert by Radio Massacre International at Jodrell Bank, in March 2000. This was recorded by Tony using an "artificial head" arrangement and has remained in the vaults until now.

All proceeds from these two releases will be given to charity, as noted on the relevant pages.

You can find them both here:

A personal recommendation is the CD from Bluetech and Ian Boddy's 'Axiom'.

As usual, I have placed a bulk order including the LAST vinyl copy of D'Voxx 'Telegraphe' which is a truly awesome album.

My order from the Din August Sale is in, with a couple of great albums:

'Outland' from Ian Boddy & Markus Reuter was recorded specifically for LP and has 2 side-long suites of beautiful melodic ambiance that pick up with subtle rhythms and soaring guitar in places.



Also highly recommended is Ian Boddy's latest 'Nevermore', a powerful outing that is reminiscent of his ARC collaborations with Mark 'Redshift' Shreeve.
