Back in the day I did many Uni assignments to this music. Timewind for me was a great piece for Physics, Quantum Mechanics assignments. But you need to be able appreciate to long, slow, simple but also complex music. If you take the time you understand the complex layers used by Klaus in this. It is mediation and story music. Each time you listen to it you continue to develop your own narrative. That is the magic of this music.
Just imagine reacting to Wagners “Ring” opera for sixteen hours. It would be the longest reaction video on TH-cam if it doesn’t get blocked. Ugh can you imagine. Great Klaus track, I better belt myself in because it sounds like this music maybe render me weightless. Thanks Jp
JP. If you love this - you have to explore more Tangerine Dream- they take it to the next level. Try Ricochet or Tangram, Rubycon or Force Majeur for late 70' s early 80's innovation in Electronic Music from the masters of the genre !
Tangram? Poland? White Eagle? Hyperborea? They’re my early 80s faves but i neglected Exit and now I’m sure I’ll regret it. What on 4JP then? Short : White Eagle Middling: No Man’s Land Long: Poland side one/ two/three/four
[Wahnfried] is a German compound of Wahn (delusion, madness) and Fried(e) (peace, freedom). (..-fried is often part of the name in medieval homes or castles).
I love that this channel does explore ambient and instrumental music as well as Rock, Folk and all the rest ! Where to go to from here ? Can I recommend Penguin Cafe Orchestra ( Fronted by British composer, Simon Jeffes ) Probably their most well known instrumental pieces are : Perpetuum Mobile, Music For A Found Harmonium, Telephone And Rubber Band.
I appreciate you bringing us different stuff to listen to. I made it 15 minutes. Forty years ago I would have had enough drugs to clear to the end. 😁 I did come back to hear what you had to say.
I lasted until about 18 minutes in before I started thinking to myself "I wish something else would happen". Okay 'put on in the background for doing other things to' soundtrack.
Yes, thanks JP for having the courage to take us in such travels ! I loved it (but I know this album since it came out). The story you are teling us, isn't it our own story? Aren't we destroying our planet?
The problem with this kind of stretched-length track where not much happens is that it's neither pure ambient nor electronic Berlin School. It's not meditative enough to be totally relaxed but at the same time it's too static to make you want to listen to it for 28 minutes. I mean, Tangerine Dream had done this kind of stuff before on their 1974 album Phaedra but there was more variation and it wasn't nearly 30 minutes long ! Justin, I urge you to listen to the legendary Rubycon by Tangerine Dream (recorded a few months ago in January 1975). Each part of "Rubycon" lasts 17 minutes and unlike here, there is not a wasted moment because the music is constantly evolving unlike "Wahnfried 1883" where everything is identical from start to finish. From Klaus Schulze I prefer Mirage (1977), X (1978) and Dune (1979).
@@br.martindallyosb1147 Ricochet is very good but I don't find it exceptional or representative of Tangerine Dream concerts in the 70s because it is only recorded partly live and partly in the studio. I'm a little mixed because I find it less elaborate than Rubycon or Stratosfear for example, that said, it's one of the band's essential albums. Encore is also very good but not my favorite, despite being part of the "classic" era of Tangerine Dream. Either way, these two are important, and the entire period from Alpha Centauri to Poland is worth a deep listen.
@@a.k.1740 I have recently discovered Schulze's album Kontinuum from 2007. It has 3 long pieces, the first one having a Berlin School vibe, the other two having a more ambient vibe. All 3 tracks are to my ears quite good. The entire album is on TH-cam, so you might like to check it out. For classic Berlin School, check out Manuel Gottsching/Michael Hoenig "Early Water". I find it mesmerizing. It, too, is on TH-cam.
@@br.martindallyosb1147 Thanks for the information ! I don't know any of these albums (although I know Klaus Schulze and Manuel Göttsching's discographies from the 70s to the very beginning of the 90s). Of Michael Hoenig I only know Departure From The Northern Wasteland and I didn't know that he had made a duet album with Manuel Göttsching.... although looking on Discogs, I just realized that I knew the cover of this record for a long time but had not made the connection !!!!
Mr Justin (I've sent this several times over the past year), I wanted to shout out to you with a big THANK YOU for your reactions and providing your subscribers, including myself, with great music and entertainment. The reaction channels continue to populate, but just a few offer insight into the bands or the lyrics. My favorite channels are yours, Daniel's, Andy and Alex, and Jamel AKA Jamal. What I appreciate about you and your channel is that many of your reactions are to songs no one else will review. With that said, I've requested, a few times, a band and song that you would enjoy. It was a short lived super group that seems to be forgotten. If you play it and react, many will say ... oh, yeah. Also, others will appreciate learning about them due to the star studded lineup. The song is CROSSING THE LINE ... by GO ...which means "5" in Japanese. The group consists of Steve Winwood on vocals and keys, Al Di Meola on guitar (was called the fastest guitarist), Klaus Schulze on keys (was in Tangerine Dream and a leader in the electronic German sound), Michael Shrieve on drums (drummer on first 7 Santana albums ... 2nd youngest performer at Woodstock), and Stomu Yamashta on percussion and keys (very interesting musician ... more of a soundtrack guy for TV and movies). Looking at the personnel, you must admit that they were a super group ... correct? Anyhow, PLEASE ... I BEG YOU ... play this song. Please play the 7:48 Live from Paris version ... great guitar... Here's the link, but I don't trust links from others th-cam.com/video/3inTAomshLs/w-d-xo.html Again, I appreciate your efforts ... as many others do too. You have a very forgiving wife that understands that we need you and your entertainment. I just love how you continue to educate yourself regarding music and the musicians that you truly are supporting. I appreciate you sharing what you do know with us. Please tell your wife that I sincerely thank her for the sacrifices she makes while you entertain us. With all of this said, I will continue to support you on Patron. Wishing you continued success and support from your audience. I'm hoping your channel will continue to grow. While I have nothing against Springsteen, Fleetwood Mac and Tom Petty, it's nice hearing Supertramp, Renaissance (I love Annie and saw her a few years ago), Yes, ELP, etc. Keep up the great work you are doing!! Best wishes always!
The Ring Cycle is usually performed as a festival over several days. So I'm guessing Klaus was thinking a 28-minute long EM meditation wouldn't be nearly that tedious. I think stuff like this was more interesting at the time just because the sounds were so new. I don't mind it, but I have to be in the right mood for it. But that's the same as any long-form ambient or EM/space stuff (there's a ton of it out there, btw.)
Since you are enjoying electronic music, check out the masterpiece album Zero Time by TONTO's Expanding Head Band. To me it is a MUST HAVE album in any electronic music collection. TONTO was the name of a synthesizer and control interface built one of the two members. It was the largest synthesizer in the world at the time. It is now at a music school in Canada. The band pioneered synthesizer music and became the secret behind the change in Stevie Wonder's style in the 1970s (Songs in the Key of Life, for example).
Timewind has a very obvious Wagnerian influence. Wagner's Ring Cycle was a homage to Germanic mythology. It was an obvious inspiration for Tolkien's Ring trilogy. At Wagner's debut of the Ring Cycle, he invited his least favorite people to attend. In those days it was considered impolite to leave the theater, for example to answer the call of nature, during a performance. That was held for intermissions. So, Wagner made sure the opera was played straight through, with no intermissions. LOL!! In the U.S. we pronounce Wagner's name differently. In Europe it is pronounced like Ricard Vogner.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - Wait till you hear Floating from the album Moondawn!! Not only KS's best work, but perhaps the best example of this genre ever to be pressed into a lump of vinyl.
Well, I find the textures and timbres of this music enchanting. The 70s synth sounds are less dated than the early polyphonic 80s ones (weirdly!) and while this may not 'rock' it's definitely music in which to lose yourself. Sorry to keep repeating myself but I think Schulze's best is Body Love 2 which is billed as 'additions to the original soundtrack' for the hardcore porn film of the same name.
Thanks man… I had forgotten about Body Love 2: Electric Boogaloo (sorry couldn’t help it, I’ve got my kids doing that). Long time ago i had a cassette copy from a friend with Klause on one side and TD on the other, so I’m glad to have the reminder!
I would recommend the Direct album by Vangelis. Futuristic dynamic album with some rock sensibilities which reminds somewhat of Dolby but without singing
Had to check the calendar, it's not Saturday! Oh yeah, bonus content, good luck with the move! A dwarf forged ring to rule all? Sounds kinda familiar, huh?( just shows everything is derivative,even from Tolkien!) A 16 hour reaction to the "Ring Cycle", that would be Valhalla! Do not be like Loki and mess with our heads, ha ha. Peace.
Schopenhauer once said: What's new is seldom good, because what is good is, but for a short time, new. I personally prefer the older, "dated" creations to the newer miscreations for miscreants...unless the new was truly better than the old, which was the case when this came out. And in "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenence", Bob Persig, philosopher, began to question quality, and wondered why people asked "What's new?" instead of "What's good?" If I want to know what is good, coming to your show is a pretty safe bet, as you have one of the two or three most intelligent shows around, from what I've ascertained. Soon after this song came out, a local university allowed me full access to their electronic music lab, which had the modular Moog, the ARP 2600, and an Aries monstrosity. You go in, you turn on the recorder, and you start experimenting...gradually. These were the kinds of aural atmospheres you could create, and none of it was pre-programmed anything. No drum machine, no trumpet, no piano. Pure creation with sound. Nab a few analog synths and have a go! And thanks for painting outside the lines.
So essentially you, Justin, hear this as a planetary version of Leonard Cohen's "Dance Me to the End of Love". Only spacey instead of well, how Cohen does it. Maybe Neuronium's "Chromium Echoes" might belong on this list.
Just sayin´- like your channel very much. Interesting variety of music, not always the same tracks wandering from one channel to the next. And no overdone "face show" by the way. Greetings from Wahnfried - no, not exactly, but germany anyway.
I have many Klaus LPs. Still put them on when I'm editing photos. Wonderful music to work with. If you want to hear a different side of Klaus try The shadows of ignorance on the Dune album. Klaus is accompanied by a cellist and Arthur Brown. Yeah, the one and only "Fire, I'm teaching you to burn" man. This should trigger you, JP!
Great music to do bills to, not hey, look at me or listen to me rather. If not doing bills, it’d be a little mind numbing. Am I running out to buy it, no. Would I listen to it again, maybe.
Vah Vah Vah Vah Or Vaaaa. (Because it's German the name starts with a "V" sound in English.) Vaagner. (I doubt if it's possible to write a wagging-Wagner in German, actually.) "Uegner" might be as close as one can get. (And that would probably have the e in egg if it existed, too.) Nietzsche would probably prefer to hear people using the "wagging" version, though. He started as a fan, ended as an enemy. Sounds like it might be referring to *Shine on you Crazy Diamond* at the beginning, though (just to say something that might matter a little.)
OK, another pronunciation. "Shool-tsuh". (A "Z" in German has a "ts" sound, so the "Zeitgeist" is not a "Zzzzzeitgeist", but a "TSeit-geist". Tsite. Just the ordinary old "ts" in its.) I have a cousin who moved there (his dad was German), took language courses, and insisted on correcting the Germans for many years. All his "z's" were "zees" for instance. When he realized they just outright refused to let him help them correct their language, he gave up and started doing things the wrong way, like the rest of them. A prophet is never welcome in his own country. I liked your story, BTW. It's a bit Kobaïan. (If you ever listen to Zess one day, you'll hear an address to a doomed alien crowd, in which the orator proclaims: "On this day we are all gathered in this ancient stadium, and we are going to die. And I say to you: Thank You ..." It's in French, so some of that is probably backward once I've finished mangling it.) Great long song for some long song in some distant Saturday, if this world lasts long enough for that to be possible. I feel a particular connection to "Tales of Abject Failure" (I think that's what the *Knifeworld* album title had in it.) Fall of the Roman Empire, the destruction of Babylon, the looting of the temple in Jerusalem ... and then the fictional versions of these. It's a very slight connection, but I have this feeling of living in the ruins of what might have been, rather than in somewhere that might have a tomorrow by some future miracle. I'm exaggerating the extent to which things fall apart, but we're along that vector, unfortunately. On the road thataway. And we should've been on the way up since we got our big break and messed it up. Hmm ... I also like tales about a nice, casual end to the world, just to make way for a Vogon interstellar bypass. As in, it's actually not as bad as one might think. It's OK actually. (But then this is no fall of a Roman Empire, just a bit of disappointment, that's all.) Maybe it's a little bit presumptuous of me to assume that "everyone knows" about *The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy* ? Just in case, here's what Wiki says it is: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hitchhiker%27s_Guide_to_the_Galaxy (If you somehow missed it conduct a poll to see whether it's the greatest book ever written, or not. I think you might find out that it is.)
I could pretty much repeat what i said about side one here. Uneventful, blah blah, vapid, blah blah, very much of its time etc etc etc. Only difference, here it was 5 mins before I lost interest. With side one it took 10. Horribly dated.
@@jfergs.3302 it's still listenable but it's a bit painful because not much happens for 28 minutes and if I really want to listen to ambient then I'm not going to listen to this stuff and rather turn to Brian Eno, Steve Roach, etc. ...
Love that you take on Schulze and Tangerine Dream.
Appreciate that Maxx
'Floating' from Klaus Schulze's 'Moondawn' next. It will definitely take you to the moon!
Yeah finally some Klaus Schulze - very Great!!!!!!

"Der Ring" is not one single opera but a cycle of 4 operas designed to be performed for 4 days in a row. It took Wagner ca. 25 years to write.
A Wagner fan took me to Die Wallküre and to the last one of the series -forgot the name. I like the opening of Die Wallküre. Very dynamic
@@jerkedevries Götterdämmerung - Twilight of the Gods.
@@mvjonsson ah thanks. Now I know I remember it wrongly. He took me to the last opera Wagner composed- I now remember the name Tristan and Isolde. 😊
@@jerkedevries Parsifal was the last opera Wagner composed.
@@mvjonsson right! I’m getting demented. It was about the quest for eternal life. But Tristan and Isolde I also saw (I think: it was 25 years ago)

I loved it. Too short, man I was in the zone.
Used to listen to this when I was about 13 around when it came out, brings back memories!
You might enjoy the Fripp and Eno collaborations.
This music has such high energy, lifts up
Excellent soporific. Approved!
More Timewind, cool stuff. I think Klaus's tranced out, spacey peak was on Moondawn, a bit later than this one.
I lasted until about 18 minutes in before I started thinking to myself "I wish something else would happen".
Okay 'put on in the background for doing other things to' soundtrack.
Cool when you share your mindscapes of an album!
Please search for Live WDR Köln, 1977. 🙂 It isn't this piece but you'll see him in full flight among all the synths.
Michael Garrison - Prisms 1983 Complete album atmospheric electronic music from start to finish
The hits keep comin’. ‘Time wind’ is a wonderful album.
Yes, thanks JP for having the courage to take us in such travels ! I loved it (but I know this album since it came out).
The story you are teling us, isn't it our own story? Aren't we destroying our planet?
Be sure to check out the track "Ludwig II von Bayern" on "X" (my favourite Schulze album), besides all the synthesizers it also features an orchestra!
I love this album, so I play it regularly for four and a half decades now.
Moondawn is another great album by Klaus.
Dune
X
Digit
Love it, so 'wide' and emotional yet very simple compared to his later works.
'Floating' next! (and 1991 remaster is preferable imo).
Like your story, it sounds like a space requiem. You really should try Ethnicolor from Jean Michel Jarre

Small time loop.

Vah Vah Vah
Or Vaaaa.
(Because it's German the name starts with a "V" sound in English.) Vaagner.
(I doubt if it's possible to write a wagging-Wagner in German, actually.) "Uegner" might be as close as one can get. (And that would probably have the e in egg if it existed, too.) Nietzsche would probably prefer to hear people using the "wagging" version, though. He started as a fan, ended as an enemy.
Sounds like it might be referring to *Shine on you Crazy Diamond* at the beginning, though (just to say something that might matter a little.)
OK, another pronunciation. "Shool-tsuh". (A "Z" in German has a "ts" sound, so the "Zeitgeist" is not a "Zzzzzeitgeist", but a "TSeit-geist". Tsite. Just the ordinary old "ts" in its.) I have a cousin who moved there (his dad was German), took language courses, and insisted on correcting the Germans for many years. All his "z's" were "zees" for instance. When he realized they just outright refused to let him help them correct their language, he gave up and started doing things the wrong way, like the rest of them. A prophet is never welcome in his own country.
I liked your story, BTW. It's a bit Kobaïan. (If you ever listen to Zess one day, you'll hear an address to a doomed alien crowd, in which the orator proclaims: "On this day we are all gathered in this ancient stadium, and we are going to die. And I say to you: Thank You ..." It's in French, so some of that is probably backward once I've finished mangling it.) Great long song for some long song in some distant Saturday, if this world lasts long enough for that to be possible.
I feel a particular connection to "Tales of Abject Failure" (I think that's what the *Knifeworld* album title had in it.) Fall of the Roman Empire, the destruction of Babylon, the looting of the temple in Jerusalem ... and then the fictional versions of these. It's a very slight connection, but I have this feeling of living in the ruins of what might have been, rather than in somewhere that might have a tomorrow by some future miracle. I'm exaggerating the extent to which things fall apart, but we're along that vector, unfortunately. On the road thataway. And we should've been on the way up since we got our big break and messed it up.
Hmm ... I also like tales about a nice, casual end to the world, just to make way for a Vogon interstellar bypass. As in, it's actually not as bad as one might think. It's OK actually. (But then this is no fall of a Roman Empire, just a bit of disappointment, that's all.)
Maybe it's a little bit presumptuous of me to assume that "everyone knows" about *The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy* ? Just in case, here's what Wiki says it is: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hitchhiker%27s_Guide_to_the_Galaxy
(If you somehow missed it conduct a poll to see whether it's the greatest book ever written, or not. I think you might find out that it is.)

Inzwischen gibt es ja einige Staaten in denen man sich auch noch anders entspannen kann. So als Zusatz 🙃
I could pretty much repeat what i said about side one here. Uneventful, blah blah, vapid, blah blah, very much of its time etc etc etc. Only difference, here it was 5 mins before I lost interest. With side one it took 10. Horribly dated.
Welcome back, jfergs!

Buddy, we’re here to give our opinion, good or bad. You may not agree with our opinion, that’s fine, I suppose you like everything…
Don’t be scared to pronounce the E at the end of non-English names ;-)
Or maybe he pronounces 'Schulze' without the E because he isn't German?
@@florianxyzed And I’m saying he shouldn’t be scared to. He always tries somewhat to pronounce names correctly.
Unlistenable
Well technically, no, it is listenable... But having suffered through it, why on earth would you want to go there again, so know what you mean :)
not for everyone, for sure )
@@jfergs.3302 it's still listenable but it's a bit painful because not much happens for 28 minutes and if I really want to listen to ambient then I'm not going to listen to this stuff and rather turn to Brian Eno, Steve Roach, etc. ...
@@masterpeace8539 ain't that the truth :)
This is why the science of qualia is in its infancy.
