Editorial Reviews

Re-release of the classic Klaus Schulze-album Moondawn, original released in 1976. The album is a dynamic and sometimes explosive expression of the synthesized sound so recognizable as Klaus Schulze. (Trouser Press/USA, November 1977). Without doubt Moondawn is one of Klaus Schulze's cultic albums. Klaus was working with a Big Moog for the very first time, which results into a special fat sound. On Moondawn Klaus Schulze was accompanied by Harald Grosskopf on drums. Klaus Schulze first attracted attention as a member of the German pioneers of electronic music, 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 whole World. He is widely considered an avant-garde mainstay as well as a founding father of both the new-age space music and electronica genres.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of his finest albums
Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2006
Verified Purchase
This 1976 album is excellent and is somewhat similar in texture to Timewind (1975). The most noticeable difference however, is that drummer Harald Grosskopf (Wallenstein, Cosmic Jokers) plays a full drum kit on Moondawn, and with great results.

In general, the two tracks are very moody and long (27'13 and 25'35 respectively) and consist simply of long drones on the moog synthesizer and string synthesizer (or the Hammond organ as used on Mindphaser) and sequenced synthesizer lines on the "big" moog. This music is largely static, with loads of bubbling and fizzing synthesizer sounds and only subtle changes in key and tempo. I should note that Harald's drumming is excellent and really breaks things up a bit - in fact, Klaus seems to loosen up a bit during the passages that include drumming and solos on the moog. The best example of this is on Mindphaser.

This remastered version is absolutely superb and features incredible sound quality, restored artwork, a ton of pictures of Klaus playing his banks of synthesizers, and detailed liner notes. The real treat however, is the addition of the excellent bonus track Floating Sequence (21'11"), which was taken from the Moondawn recording session. This version of Floating Sequence is a stereo mix that is completely different from the version included on the 1995 release of Moondawn.

This album is very highly recommended to all electronica fans along with Timewind (1975), Body Love (1977), Mirage (1977), and X (1978).

5.0 out of 5 stars A desert island disc

One of my top 3 Schulze albums. (The other 2 being Timewind and Mirage). This is one of his most dynamic sounding works partially due to the excellent drumming of Harold Grosskopf. Like most Schulze albums this is best listened to using headphones. Very highly recommended and an excellent starting point for someone just getting into Klaus.

4.0 out of 5 stars The very beginnings of new age music
Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2013

I first heard this when it came out - I was 15 years old. I'd never heard anything like it, and it has now spawned a whole genre of music. It's really more for history, than for listening. I love when it comes on with the random music setting and I'm busy doing other things. It's a little slow for direct listening (unless you're heavily sedated...)

Great album, I am a fan of Klaus Schulze for a long time, ethereal and dreamy, thought provoking
and great meditation music. This music sends one deep into the recesses of one's mind and is great when played late at night.

This is the quintessential musical experience. There is no other of this caliber of listening experience. It is phenomenal. The music takes me to a different dimension, creating a connection between my soul and the divine.

Ahead of it's time - fantastic space/ambient & ethereal/trippy - watch out for the live drums and raw moog! Schulze was quite the solo artist

5.0 out of 5 stars Version 2005 du CD
Reviewed in France on July 1, 2022
Verified Purchase
Ce CD présente le double avantage d'être en digipak, mais surtout d'être totalement conforme à la version vinyle (avec un bonus en plus), alors que la version CD de 1990 avait été légèrement modifiée par Klaus Schulze afin d'éliminer un petit craquement qui ne s'entendait pas sur le vinyle mais était perceptible en CD. Pour les puristes, c'est donc bien cette version 2005 qu'il faut acheter. De plus, Rarewaves a été très réactif sur un problème d'expédition que j'avais eu.

5.0 out of 5 stars ESSENTIAL!
Reviewed in Canada on March 12, 2015

Stunning music! Generally, I prefer Schulze's post-2000 music, but Moondawn, with its crystal-clear recording and brilliant musical sequences is, I think, the very best of his 1970s creations. This particular edition of the CD, sold by marvelio, is the Revisited Records edition, and so contains "Floating Sequence" too, which is-- again, in my opinion-- the best of all Schulze's bonus tracks. One has to admire his commitment to giving listeners a full CD of music; so many classic bands and/or their owners have issued so many less-than-50%-full CDs. This one at once joins my personal "desert island discs" collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Progressive Electronic Kult
Reviewed in Germany on July 25, 2010

MOONDAWN ist mein persönliches Lieblingsalbum von Klaus Schulze, gefolgt von TIMEWIND, PICTURE MUSIC und den beiden BODY LOVE Veröffentlichungen. Mein Gott was waren das für Zeiten. Licht aus, Anlage an, Kopfhörer bis zum Anschlag aufgedreht und dann in eine andere Welt versinken. FLOATING und MINDPHASER entführten einen in andere Sphären. Mit Ohrwurmcharakter ! Die FLOATING Sequenz ist wahrlich nachhaltig. Nach der "Penne" wurden die Hausaufaufgaben gemacht und dann ging's ab zu den Kumpels, Krautrock und Progrock hören, von Platte, vom Revox-und TEAC-Tonband und natürlich am Radio. Winfried Trenkler's ROCK IN Radiosendung war damals der Maßstab und der "Pusher" für nicht kommerzielle Musik. Ob PINK FLOYD, ELOY, NEKTAR, NOVALIS, RARE BIRD, BULLFROG, GENESIS, YES, MIKE OLDFIELD, STRAIGHT SHOOTER, JANE, RAMSES...und und und, alles was International und National einen Namen hatte und "NEU" hervorkam, wurde in seiner Sendung vorgestellt und das manchmal sehr ausgiebig. Die Sendungen wurden natürlich vollständig auf Band mitgeschnitten und später mehrmals "nach"gehört. Musik die süchtig macht, auch heute noch. FLOATING bleibt das Überstück schlechthin. Kaufempfehlung für Einsteiger.
