The Dome Event: Cologne Cathedral

by Jim BrenholtsIn 1991, Klaus Schulze performed three concerts to celebrate his 20 years as a solo recording artist. The Dome Event: Cologne Cathedral is the third concert and the third CD. Like the other two CDs, this disc has an extra track, composed to match the live material and recorded in the studio. Schulze is a prolific live performer, and his music loses nothing in the translation to the concert stage. This disc features his signature heavy sequences, some very gentle acoustics, and deep atmospheres. Strange vocal samples take the set over the top. This is a good CD and will appeal to fans of Ron Boots, Kees Aerts, Ian Boddy, and Harold van der Heijden.
