There are some albums that you encounter in your lifetime that define you. Timewind is one of those. While it was released in 1975 (when I was 15), I actually discovered it a few years later when I was in college. Bayreuth Return is by far my favorite of the two tracks, but of course Wahnfried 1883 is very good as well. The most telling thing about Timewind for me is that it sounded futuristic back in the late 70’s when I discovered it, and that now 50 years later, it still sounds futuristic. Not unlike some other contemporary German bands like Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk. And while I have seen both those bands in concert a number of times over the years, sadly I never saw Klaus Schulze live, one of my greatest concert regrets in my lifetime.

Thanks Paul. I’m with you. Sadly, Klaus never played live in the US.
