Deus Arrakis

by Klaus Schulze

Steve Davis Klaus left us with a great legacy of music, and "Deus Arrakis" is a wonderful continuation of the journey. Some of the familiar elements are there, such as typical sequences and chords. But this album also finds Klaus in a more experimental mood (e.g. the final part of "Seth"). An extraordinary end to an extraodrinary recording career of more than half a century. RIP Klaus Schulze. Favorite track: Der Hauch des Lebens - Pt#1.

Peter De Bilde Full circle, Klaus! And in style! You can tell by the music that KS knew this would be his apology, just like David Bowie. And though reminiscing of the remote past, with the cello, once more, and synths as a substitute for an organ, this is pure and essential stripped down music, like what you take with you... in your suitcase to a final destination. A wonderous Kontrapunkt! Hats off to the Grandmaster & Godfather of the Berlin School! I will miss him dearly...

Dionysos Nyktelios I'm not a great connoisseur of Tangerine Dream's founder Klaus Schulze trajectory, but what I know is that he was a master in his craft, with an extense and prolific career behind him. This, his posthumous album, connects with me at so many level, that I can't but surrender to it.

Maybe it will be my entry point for more of his music. Favorite track: Seth - Pt#3.

about

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.“
