the album is truly a masterpiece. a pinnacle of all rock music. genius. as for the review and the discussion that followed... it’s all very sad. all very ugly.

free outlet.useless like the record.

Oh, I almost forgot, for the sake of the record I can't have copied from Guglielmi-Rizzi simply because...I don't know them. Blessed ignorance.

Hi Mr. Iko, I'm glad you finally commented on one of my reviews. Reading the things you write has always taught me new things. I have a great passion for music, but as I love to repeat, I still have so much to learn. For example, thanks to your review I went out and bought "Ziggy Stardust"; I thought it wouldn't exactly be my genre, and instead, I liked it a lot! As for your criticisms of my review, you're right, I did overlook all the names you mentioned. I thought I was being too verbose, but they actually contributed significantly to the beauty of the album. However, please avoid using overly provocative tones like, "Do you know Phil Collins?" It sounds like a condescending little professor, and I don't think you are that, because only a clear-headed and sharp person can move so naturally from controversy to compliment. I would love for you to take a look at my other reviews when you have time, not to get a judgment on them, that is, not for me, but to discuss the albums they cover. You never know, I might learn something. Bye and see you next time.

you are right, here I only understand myself. this album evokes these things for me, but it's not technical, you are right. I agree with you, airone. for those who are not familiar with the album, it's not very helpful, but for those who know it, I think it’s interesting. I knew it would spark discussions... in a negative way. don’t shoot me! I’m just glad there are people who get passionate about this album, it means it’s worth it, and indeed it is, I adore it. see you soon guys. sorry for the accents but the keyboard is Greek and doesn't have them.

psycopompe you misunderstood me. When I spoke of stupidity, I was referring to Vanamente's attitude, who enjoyed putting down others and being disdainful. Then we cleared things up and everything is fine. I agree with what you say about ignorance; you are perfectly right.

FOR HAL: You’re right, Schulze is much closer to Tangerine Dream than to Popol Vuh. I don’t think it’s very accurate to associate the concept of cosmic music with Popol Vuh. Let’s say that in a certain sense they aimed for the cosmos but in a spiritual way and not a metaphysical one; theirs was a religious, mystical ascent. But that’s another story, maybe I’ll write a review one of these days and we can discuss it. The problem is that, as I told you some time ago, when I called myself Michele and I was faded, not the university computer unfortunately! Damn. Bye and see you soon.

The Radiohead certainly don't joke when it comes to evocative power: for example, I adore "Like Spinning Plates," I find it simply brilliant. I’m not sure if it’s the offspring of those German pioneers, I think it is, but in any case, I don’t care. Of course, those who "invent" something should historically be considered more, but in the end, what gives you feelings is the music. And at that moment, you’re not thinking about who was before or after, you just say it's beautiful or it's ugly. Historical discussions are done at the table when you chat with friends. But when you discuss.... unfortunately... sigh.

Dear Heron, the problem is that Radiohead are very different from Schulze. Their music, however, still falls within the realm of song form. For Schulze, this was impossible. His work is an experience; when you decide to listen to it, you have to do it like when you decide to watch a good movie: you sit in the room, lock the door, and say: I'm not here for anyone. Unlike a movie, the mind must be even clearer, because imagination and evocation play a much more important role in this case. Schulze couldn't create 4-minute songs following his vision, simply because he needed space, time, and expansion to challenge the concepts of space, time, and expansion. "ebene" could never have a duration of 4 minutes. It would make no sense.

You’re right, Kosmo; I do tend to get carried away by both my enthusiasms and sudden depressions; it’s part of this character I have. Jean Michel Jarre is much more conventional compared to Schulze. Sure, "equinoxe" is a nice album, but it lacks a deeper concept behind it; his experimentation goes straight for the music, whereas Schulze, in this case (because the good Klaus has also produced some bad albums), uses music to transcend beyond. There are very few albums like this in the history of rock, and very often they are German. FOR HAL: It's worth listening to it, believe me; it might not please you, but it's an experience worth having.
