Album Description
Originally released in 1977, Body Love is Schulzes first soundtrack. The famous pornography director, Lasse Braun, asked him to compose an original soundtrack to his movie by the same name. Schulze had great success overseas, and in 1977 the album became # 2 in the USA Billboard import charts.
Klaus Schulze first attracted attention as a member of the German progressive rock band, Tangerine Dream. Following the release of their debut LP, Electronic Meditation, he departed for a solo career. Klaus' recorded work typically features extended pieces sometimes filling an entire album built around computer-generated synthesizers and other specially programmed electronic effects. Klaus Schulze remains a cult figure in the United States, where the bulk of his prolific output has until now been available only through the import bins. He is widely considered an avant-garde mainstay as well as a founding father of both the new-age space music and electronica genres.
