Picture Music

About

Picture Music is the fourth album of electronic music by German musician Klaus Schulze. It was recorded in late 1974 and released in January 1975 on Brain Record. In 2005 this was the second Schulze album reissued by Revisited Record. This is the only Klaus Schulze solo album in which he can be heard playing a drum kit. Prior to his solo career, he was the drummer for Ash Ra Tempel; on his later album, drummer Harald Großkopf of Wallenstein frequently contributed. Like many of his album, this one has one long track on each side. Picture Music in its various edition, has more cover art designs than any other Klaus Schulze album, and another reason for confusion of release order of albums lies in the choice of original cover artist. The first cover was a painting of an abstract man and background by Jacques Wyr. The previous album, Black Dance, featured a similar concept painted by Urs Amann, and in 1975, Schulze commissioned Amann to make new covers for all his previous album, as well as his next, Timewind. The original Wyrs cover was taken as evidence that Picture Music must precede the era of the Amann covers sequence. 1. "Totem" 23:53 2. "Mental Door" 23:02 Reissue bonus track: 3.
