Klaus Schulze - La Vie Electronique 5 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Sound of Thunder was inspired by the final movement of T.S. Eliot's 'The Waste Land', 'What the Thunder Said'; and also by the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, from which it draws heavily. Each movement is based on one of the four concepts from the Upanishad, as used by Eliot Datta (Charity), Dayadhvam (Mercy), Damyata (Restraint), and Shantih (Peace). With the exception of Peace, which we have allowed to stand alone, the movements are intended to represent the conflict and resolution between these virtues and the 'undesirable' qualities that they are meant to keep in check.

In 1992-93 Klaus Schulze recorded about ten hours of music, not intended for record . This music was issued in a box set and quickly sold out, so smaller collections have been reissued. DISC 1 The four parts of InchFilm MusikInch contain the complete music for the soundtrack to the 1993 German tv documentary InchSpurensicherung. BaudenkmälerInch DISC 2 Klaus called the 71-minute piece InchNarren des SchicksalsInch his first symphony. It was recorded in 1992/'93 for no special purpose. DISC 3 Track 1, InchDer Schönheit SpurInch, is the longer version of the music Klaus recorded 1993 as soundtrack for a film about Berlin's Potsdamer Platz, and the final track (InchReturn in Happy PlightInch) is the remixed version which was actually used for the film. InchEin schönes AutodaféInch was meant but not used as ballet music for Klaus' opera InchTotentagInch.
