The dark side of the moog - Boxset 1 Vol. 1 - 4 + bonus CD Vol.1-4 (2016)/ Klaus Schulze & Pete Namlook

This is the first volume of an expansive reissue project for the collaborations between influential German artists Klaus Schulze and Peter Kuhlmann. Kuhlmann, best known as Pete Namlook who passed away in 2012, was very prolific on his own and alongside many others, including Biosphere. His work with Schulze as "The Dark Side Of The Moog" began in 1993. Schulze was well-established as a leading figure within Berlin's ambient scene, while Kuhlmann was a relative newcomer who had started his now-seminal Fax label. There were no set plans for a series at first, and they rarely met in person, but their connection would lead to 11 sequentially-named albums for Fax, released from 1994 through 2008. The names of the records, like "Wish You Were There" and "Obscured By Klaus", were all twists on Pink Floyd titles, though "It's no homage to Pink Floyd and direct references don't exist. The name of the project came to my mind because the Moog synth was the connecting instrument of our work." (bron: Resident Advisor)
