Timewind

Timewind has that lovely mysterious quality that Tangerine Dream and their cohorts had going for basically all of the 70s and some of the 80s. These tones and sounds are vintage, lovely, and no one else sounds like these guys even today. This was the golden age of the synth, and the creativity that followed from some of the top artists would not be matched again in my opinion.Schulze puts out an epic remaster. Not only is the original album here, you get another sequenced album on disc 2 that should keep everyone busy for a lot longer. The good news is that the extra album is actually very decent. It's not Timewind, but few albums are, and it's glorious to hear this record remastered in stunning sound and clarity.Highest recommendation for electronic audio fans.

This album has no equivalent in its class, no equal, nothing. I am a complete fan of Tangerine Dream, but Klaus Schulze's "Timewind" is the most valuable record I have in my collection. I have had it on my turntable for two years since I bought it and have played it at least 2,000 times--sometimes 5 or 6 times a day! The main reason: STRESS REDUCTION, and I really mean it. The green side (1) is preferred over the red side, but they are both completely capable of putting me into a sleepy orbit a million miles away. Klaus uses his synthesizers to produce waves and sounds that I cannot explain, nor will I try, but the brain knows a treat when it hears it. I highly recommend using headphones with this or any of Schulze's albums; they seemed to be made for private listening.There is no equal to this album known to humankind. There is simply no way to describe the visual images and peaceful bliss that accompany a fully undisturbed listening with a good pair of sealed headphones. Closest to heaven I'll ever get in this lifetime. No dramatics, I just call it as I see it. If it was not true, I would have told you.Each listener will surely have his or her own response, but "Timewind" must mean what its title says: that it makes no difference what year it is. What you listen to hear, my friend, is what they will call "classical" music three or four hundred years from now, maybe sooner. There are no vocals, and that's another concern with my music. No, I do not hate people, I just like music that expands my consciousness and helps me to relax. Schulze, in my educated guess, recorded this album on the first take, as with many great musical contributions, and I bet he could never get the same result twice. The total playing time is only 43 minutes, making it all the more rare. I cannot overstate the quality of this musical gem, the diamond of my collection! If you have a copy, do not, under any circumstance, lose it. If you do not have a copy, then buy one as soon as you can. It was hard enough to find on CD, where, unlike my record player, I can put repeat on and listen to it about six times a night until I fall asleep into the most rejuvinating slumber possible. Don't wait any longer, as your emotional wellbeing is yearning already. If you are not used to electronic or ambient music, you need only to wait until its full effect can be appreciated.This album, like other favorites of mine, will lift you out of depression, states of unreasonable anger, anxiety, insomnia, mood swings, or any other undesired emotional states. Buy it today! Top recommendation!

I got this album because a friend reccommended it to me. I love Tangerine Dream, so when I found out that Klaus Schulze created similar music, I decided to check his stuff out as well.Timewind is quite different from Tangerine Dream. The main thing that I notice that is different is the absence of movements in this music. Both tracks feature a main theme that runs the length of the song, with different melodies layered over it. The songs on here are almost thirty minutes long a piece, so they're the perfect thing to mellow out to. I really enjoy "Beirut Return," because it had a simple rhythm that keeps you going along, while the different themes that come up reinforce the general mood of the track. "Wahnfried" is almost a 180--no rhythm, with the sound of wind and long held chords over it. It has a very cold, atmospheric touch to it, making it the perfect thing to listen to late at night while meditating.To put it shortly, Timewind reminds me of travelling on the Trans Siberian railway--you see landscape passing you by that is somewhat similar while always being in the same train. It's a very interesting and intense journey that will keep you coming back for more.

Early member of Tangerine Dream. Just as good as the best of Tangerine Dream. Expensive but you get a free second disc which is equally as good as the classic first disc. Might invest in more of his cds.

A brilliant album also a very long album if you are I to Tangerine Dream then buy it a musical space journey ,it arrived on time great.

Brilliant. One of his best.

no complaints.

Excellent

Wer Synthesizer Musik mag, kommt um Klaus Schulze nicht herum. Ein sensibler Könner, der sein Handwerk versteht. Damals, 1974 noch ein Soundexperiment, es gab 1974 noch nicht die exzellente Technik von heute, es musste noch viel experimentiert werden. Was dabei herauskam, hören wir auf >Timewind<. Dieses Album fasziniert mich auch heute noch außergewöhnlich. Für mich mit Abstand eines der besten Werke vom Elektronik-Pionier Klaus Schulze (hervorgegangen aus der „Berliner Schule“).Zu hören sind ungewöhnliche elektronische Klänge, welche u.a. seine Leidenschaft für RICHARD WAGNER widerspiegeln und nicht oberflächlich sind. Er interpretiert ihn auf seine ganz eigene, elektronische Art. Ähnlichkeiten zu „Phaedra“ von TANGERINE DREAM sind hier unverkennbar.Hier kann man entspannt zuhören und sich eine gute Stunde lang in einen Schwebeflug aus Vergessen und Faszination begeben. Geliefert werden 2 CDs und ein kleines Booklet mit lesenswertem Inhalt in Englisch und Deutsch. Die drei Bonus-Stücke auf CD 2 knüpfen nahtlos an die erste CD an. Der Sound wird in einer außergewöhnlich guten Qualität wider gegeben. Und das alles für nicht einmal 12,- Euro. Was will man mehr? Daher hochverdiente 5 Sterne von mir.

vous aimez la musique electronique et vous ne connaissez pas cet opus de papa schulze ?alors soit vous êtes décédé (sorti en 1975 quand même) soit vous vivez sur la planéte bieberland.ce truc je l'écoute depuis que j'ai 14 ans j'en ai 55 a ce jour aprés 3 ou 4 vinyls et 2 ou 3 cd , je viens de me payer cette version "remaster" avec un 2eme cd qui comme tous bonus sont des fonds de tiroirs, le remaster est audible , a ne pas écouter sur un iphone évidemment.cet album est avec "ricochet" de td et "radio activity" de kraftwerk les bases (pour moi) de tout ce qui est cette mouvance.ceux qui s'en servent pour la sieste n'ont pas compris , c'est rempli d'émotion donc pas de dodo mais voyage intérieur!ps. le dessinateur de la pochette devait être en plein divorce ou un truc comme ça , mais ca colle bien a la musique.bonne écoute.

A quien le guste la música electrónica planeadora o cósmica, escuela de Berlin, etc. como llamaban en los 70's y 80's o la música electrónica Ambient, como la llaman hoy en día, este es un disco muy recomendable e imprescindible. Una de las obras maestras de este genial compositor alemán, en una edición doble CD con material extra, que no contemplaba en su edición original.

Musik die man seit Jugendzeiten kennt,die Originale(UK,France and Brain) bleiben als nahezu ungespielte Originale im Schrank,man kann bei diesen dahinfließenden Klangmustern immer wieder neue Nuancen entdecken,die remastere Version ist mit den Bonustiteln eine schöne Ergänzung zum Gesamtwerk von Klaus Schulze.

Bellissimo per amanti del genere, etereo registrato benissimo in doppio cd con tre bonus sul CD numero due mentre sul primo CD c'è l'album originale con le due tracce. Si sente il sapore di quel 1975 e del krautrock tedesco, l'album è dedicato al compositore tedesco Richard Wagner… sembra ci sia un filo comune tra i due compositori a distanza di più di 100 anni… MERAVIGLIOSO pietra miliare per il suo genere.

Als Liebhaber hatte ich mir die Schallplatte vor einigen Monaten gekauft seite A Bayreuth Return, seite B Wahnfried 1883 und jezt auch fuers Auto den Cd. besorgt.Cd.1 Bayreuth Return 2 Wahnfried 1883, und auf Cd.2 1 Echoes of Time, 2 Solar Wind, 3 Windy Times.Da gibt es auch ein kleines Buechlein auf Englisch und auf Deutsch, nebenbei einige Fotos von Klaus Schulze.

Zu Timewind ist nichts zu sagen. Ich finde die beiden Bonus-Stücke und das Booklet eine wertvolle Bereicherung dieses Werks. Nach der LP und der CD nun meine dritte Hardwareversion von Timewind.

Die tolle Musik verdient 5 Sterne, aber das Cover ist viel zu klein gefertigt für das 180g Vinyl. Die Innenhülle ist aus ungefütterten dicken Papier was die Sache noch weiter verschlechtert. Cover wurde dadurch gleich auch beim ersten Einlegen am oberen Rand eingedrückt. Nicht so schön.

This is The Album that got Schulze international recognition and became a benchmark of sorts for everything to follow. Brilliant Work. I have literally bought this three times, now. This particular issue has bonus material, as well. Definitely worth nabbing.

Esta todo dicho de esta obra maestra,referencia de la musica electronica,vertiente cosmica o planeadora,aunque para los mas despistados resulte lenta,incluso aburrida si lo que se busca es musica de baile, o de ascensores, o de chiringuito, o discotequera, o ...Enfin, mucho nivel y sin la densidad abrumadora de Wagner, origen y sentido de esta obra.
