16. Klaus Schulze - Timewind (1975)

Another classic from one of the pioneers of the Berlin School of spacemusic, infused with washes of white noise, twittering electronic sound effects and the steady pulse of cycling sequencers. This 1975 recording is dedicated to Richard Wagner, and Schulze aspires to that classical grandeur, even providing a reproduction of his "score" for one of the two side-long compositions. It's a multi-layered chart mapping the positions and structures of leitmotifs and harmonies, alongside diagrams of noise and sample-and-hold filter modulations. His use of decidedly electronic sounds gives Schulze's music an otherworldly feel, and the slowly-building, linear progressions of hiscompositions are hypnotic and involving, pulling the listener into this imagined space. This was the first of Schulze's albums widely available in America and immediately became a favorite of many in the electronic music scene.
