| In 1972, Schulze released his debut album Irrlicht with organ and a recording of an orchestra filtered almost beyond recognition.Tangerine Dream, albeit with far lighter sequencer lines and a more reflective, dreamy edge, not unlike the ambient music of contemporary Brian Eno.Klaus Schulze had a more organic sound than other electronic artists of the time.Schulze developed a Minimoog technique that sounds uncannily like an electric guitar, which is quite impressive in concert.Trancefer was far more obviously reliant on sequencers than previous recordings, and the resultant affect transformed Schulze's style from gentle melodic journeys to and ever growing crescendo of music consisting of multi layered rhythmical passages.Angst (soundtrack to the namesake 1983 film) moved away from the harshness of sharp, heavily sequenced style of the 3 previous albums and, once again, had the more "organic feel" of earlier recordings.Trance with the dreamy cut "FM Delight".In his 1975 album Timewind (four years before the first alias use), Schulze had already named a track "Wahnfried 1883" (in reference to Wagner's death and burial in his Wahnfried's garden in 1883).The other track on Timewind is called Bayreuth Return.After 1993, the albums are simply credited to "Wahnfried", and namedrop Schulze ("featuring Klaus Schulze", "Produced by Klaus Schulze")."Wahnfried" is the only known alias of Schulze (albeit on the 1998 Tribute To Klaus Schulze album, among 10 other artists, Schulze contributed one track barely hidden behind the "Schulzendorfer Groove Orchester" pseudonym).Schulze CDs started, mostly with extended or bonus tracks, sometimes a whole additional CD.They are published by the label Revisited Records (a division of German company InsideOut Music 1), and distributed by SPV.Limited edition 10 disc box set of 2000 sets.Silver, Historic and Jubilee Edition box sets expanded with bonus material.The Dark Side of the Moog series

3.History
In 1969, Klaus Schulze was the drummer of one of the early incarnations of Tangerine Dream for their debut album Electronic Meditation.He often takes German events as a starting point in his compositions, particularly on his album "X" (the title signifying it was his tenth album) in 1978 which was subtitled "Six Musical Biographies", including such notables as Ludwig II of Bavaria, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Wilhelm Friedemann Bach.His use of the pseudonym Richard Wahnfried indicates his interest in Richard Wagner, which also informs other albums of his music, notably Timewind.Some of his lighter albums are appreciated by new age music fans, but Schulze has always denied connections to this genre.Klaus Schulze had a more organic sound than other electronic artists of the time.Schulze developed a Minimoog technique that sounds uncannily like an electric guitar, which is quite impressive in concert.In the 1980s Schulze moved from analog to digital instruments, and his work accordingly became less experimental and more accessible.Although the switch to purely digital recording and instruments is evident in the style of Dig It (1980) It was not until the release of Trancefer (1981) that the shift in style became evident.Trancefer was far more obviously reliant on sequencers than previous recordings, and the resultant affect transformed Schulze's style from gentle melodic journeys to and ever growing crescendo of music consisting of multi layered rhythmical passages.This is particularly evident in the Trancefer's first track "A few moments after Trancefer", although the second track "Silent Running" is more reminiscent of Schulze's earlier works.This newer style can also be found in Schulze's next release Audentity.Both "Cellistica" and "Spielglocken" are composed in a similar, sequencer based, style as Trancefer, but this is certainly not the case of all of Audentity's tracks, indeed "Sebastian in Traum" hints towards the Operatic style to be found in some of Schulze's much later work.Angst (soundtrack to the namesake 1983 film) moved away from the harshness of sharp, heavily sequenced style of the 3 previous albums and, once again, had the more "organic feel" of earlier recordings.Trance with the dreamy cut "FM Delight".The album Miditerranean Pads marked the beginning of very complex percussion arrangements that continued into the next two decades.Sampling was such an unpopular diversion that when In Blue was released in 1995 without samples it was hailed as a return to form.Recently Schulze began incorporating elements of jazz and classical music, working with more contemporary techno dance music such as trance, and creating two opera, the second still awaiting release.Seven albums were released under this name between 1979 and 1997.Always allowing for collaborative and less electronic albums, with known or unknown guest musicians performing along Schulze's synths.The pseudonym's etymology stems from Schulze's love for Richard Wagner:
Richard, evidently from Wagner's first name.German), from the name Wagner gave to his villa in Bayreuth (and where he was later buried).In his 1975 album Timewind (four years before the first alias use), Schulze had already named a track "Wahnfried 1883" (in reference to Wagner's death and burial in his Wahnfried's garden in 1883).After 1993, the albums are simply credited to "Wahnfried", and namedrop Schulze ("featuring Klaus Schulze", "Produced by Klaus Schulze")."Wahnfried" is the only known alias of Schulze (albeit on the 1998 Tribute To Klaus Schulze album, among 10 other artists, Schulze contributed one track barely hidden behind the "Schulzendorfer Groove Orchester" pseudonym).Schulze CDs started, mostly with extended or bonus tracks, sometimes a whole additional CD.Silver, Historic and Jubilee Edition box sets expanded with bonus material.The Dark Side of the Moog series
