"Re-release of the successful and partly out-of-print series La Vie Electronique by Klaus Schulze. Between 1977 and 1983 Klaus Schulze recorded some of his more contemplative works. The albums Mirage, Dune, or Dig It show a significant change in his way of playing and composing. Finally, Schulze's renewal and expansion of his instrumentation also had an impact on the music and the possibilities of playing and recording it in an even more sophisticated way. The track 'Synthasy' from Dig It, for example, shows how far Schulze has come since Timewind or Moondawn. This eighth Volume of La Vie Electronique contains a selection of tracks that were created during these years outside of the official albums. A significant part of the 3CD set consists of concert recordings from the 1979 tour with guest vocalist Arthur Brown, recorded with a standard cassette recorder of the time -- in stereo. In addition to three tracks that had already been released in 1980, there are several other recordings from this tour in fall '79. For example, the concert on October 24th in the Audimax of the TU Brussels, which reveals the energy and passion of this unusual duo, for example 'Faster Than Lightning,' the second title of the concert evening. Before the break, Schulze is undoubtedly in a good mood during 'Dans un jardin,' creating a musical landscape, playing soulful solos on his Minimoog, then drumming on electronic 'bongos' to create a darker mood in the last part of the piece."
