Irrlicht: Quadrophonische Symphonie Für Orchester Und E-Maschinen

Release Year: 1972

Label: Ohr

The first album by Klaus Schulze (released after his departure from Ash Ra Tempel) is a remarkable example of early ambient music. In contrast to his later recordings which heavily feature synthesisers and sequencers, Irrlicht’s use of electronics is more minimal, with its ominous atmosphere being composed of organ-based drones and orchestral samples. It, along with Schulze’s following album “Cyborg” and Tangerine Dream’s “Zeit,” are highly recommended if dark space ambient is up your alley.

For those who’ve heard the album - what are your thoughts? Feel free to share any opinions, experiences, etc. related to it.

I got tired of clicking posts to discover music so I made an app that autoplays them like a Spotify radio. Thought you might like it.
