La Vie Electronique Vol 3 CD

First issued by Klaus Schulze in 2009 as part of an epic series of compilations chronicling his career, "La Vie Electronique Volume 3" is a triple-CD set containing a mixture of live and studio recordings by the German electronic music pioneer. Much of the material dates from the mid-to-late 1970s, when Schulze was one of a number of groundbreaking German artists experimenting with modular synthesis and some of the earliest commercially available synthesizers. There's much to admire throughout, from the spacey ambience of "Alles Ist Gut: I Smell The Morning Air" and the Tangerine Dream-esque hypnotism of "Fourmeau Cosmique: Allumer", to the sparkling bliss of the "Zeichen Meines Leben" suite of tracks.
